If you’ve had a run-in with a bad blush before, it’s likely down to your shade selection. According to Warren Dowdall, Senior Pro Artist at Bobbi Brown, a rogue hue is what trips most people up when it comes to cheek products. ‘Blush should be a subtle enhancement to your makeup,’ he says. ‘When choosing colour, pinch your cheek and look at colour that already exists in your skin.
