Feeling flushed
With the wide choice of blushes available, you no longer have to pinch your cheeks to get that rosy hue. You can add warmth to your complexion by intensifying cheek colour with blush. We've tested several and have picked the top five. If your skin has a pink or blue undertone, try a deep rose hue. Those with a yellow undertone should try brown-based pinks, and if you have fair skin, avoid bronzers and apply two shades of blush for a sunkissed flush.
