My advice
Blush is the quickest way to make a face look alive. After a full base, skin can look flat in photos; a touch of colour on the cheeks brings back warmth and dimension. It is one of the products I never skip, whether the look is soft bridal or full glam.
The PHOERA Radiant Matte Powder Blush is finely milled and pigmented, so a little goes a long way. It blends into a soft-matte flush rather than a chalky stripe, and it builds from a sheer wash to a bold, rosy cheek. With eight shades (Dahlia, Patty, Starla, Peony, Zinnia, Bloom, Moone and Glory) there is an option for every skin tone.
Placement matters as much as colour. For a lifted look I blend blush slightly above the apples and up towards the temples. For a youthful, soft look I keep it on the apples and blend outwards. On deeper skin, richer berry and brick tones show up beautifully; on fair skin, start sheer with soft pinks and peaches and build slowly.
If you want to sculpt as well as add colour, pair blush with the cream contour shades in the Correct & Contour Palette.

Pro tips
Tap off the excess
Always tap your brush before it touches your face. It is easier to add than remove.
Blend upwards
Blending up and out lifts the face; dragging blush down can make it look tired.
Match your lip
For an effortless look, choose a blush in the same family as your lipstick.
Set before blush
Apply powder blush over set foundation so it glides instead of grabbing.

Good to know
Which blush shade suits deep skin?
Richer shades with more pigment, such as berry, brick and deep rose tones, show up best on deeper skin. Build in thin layers.
Is PHOERA blush matte or shimmery?
The Radiant Matte Powder Blush has a soft-matte finish with a healthy glow, not glitter.
Where should I put blush to look lifted?
Slightly above the apples of the cheeks, blended up towards the temples.
