When Martin asked me about blush, I blushed at my response. I told her that I dusted on the tiniest amount of pink-hued powder on my cheeks because I knew that I was (according to most makeup artists) supposed to. I was particularly scared of it after my dramatic hair colour change. However, after some gentle convincing, Martin showed me that it's all in choosing the correct shade. I needed a very light pink, preferably two-toned rather than one stark, bright pink colour.
Her suggestion was Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic Blush (£30), which is a dual-toned blush. Both the shade First Love (a two-toned peach colour) and The Climax (a two-toned red-brown colour) complemented my hair colour and skin tone, and since I started using it, I've never looked back. Now, I can't imagine not having blush in my routine.
