A blush is such an underrated makeup product. Not only does it add the perfect amount of colour to our cheeks but it also makes our face look lively and oh-so-pretty. However, a lot of times women avoid applying blush if they’ve done loud or bold makeup, fearing they might end up looking OTT. But the fact remains that a blush will never make you look over the top as far as you’re choosing the right colour and texture and using just a hint of it. In fact, it helps pull your entire makeup look together. One of the most popular blushes and my personal favourite is the Nars Orgasm. The stunning pink shade with a hint of shimmer; it looks amazing on every skin tone. But we get it, not everyone wants to try a shimmer or a liquid blush. If you are one of them, then you’re going to love our selection of matte blushes.
