Makeup artist Lasalle Lee shows us 5 new ways to wear blush

Art Class

1/11

Build up the intensity of your blush like you would with watercolour paints. The key to achieving this look is to blend well and soften any harsh edges. Keep the rest of your makeup minimal – no need for eyeliner or a strong lip.

High Intensity

2/11

More is more with this look. Instead of using bronzer to add definition to the face, sculpt the contours with a highly pigmented blush.

Super Shy

5/11

Inspired by J-beauty, this popular “hangover” blush technique creates a sunkissed flush and subtle sculpting effect. To recreate, apply blush abundantly under the eyes, upper cheeks and over the bridge of the nose.

Bright Lights

8/11

Radiant skin begs for glistening, rosy cheeks. A blush and highlighter hybrid like Nars' Light Reflecting Blush in Orgasm is the perfect way to achieve an all-over-sheen as well as a wash of colour.

Treasure Hunt

11/11

Elevate your blush by adding a scattering of pearl accents. Opt for flat-backed pearl embellishments in different sizes and secure them with eyelash glue – alternatively, you can also use self-adhesive adornments.
