Now, the immediate question that pops into mind is - how to restore life to your dull winter skin? Enter pink blush - the magic makeup product to pull off rosy cheeks all day long. Blusher can instantly gift you flushed cheeks as if you've just stepped in from a brisk winter walk. Here's the lowdown on how to get that rosily rosy, winter blush on your cheeks.
5 tips to get the best of winter blush makeup
Load your cheeks with a pink hue and flaunt a rosy glow like a pro. Here are mentioned five blush makeup tips that will help you get warm yet bright cheeks.
Winter Blush Tip 1: Choose the blush tint
Let's begin with the basics—shade. Winter blush needs something a little more subtle, gentler than those highly dramatic summer blushes. Go for shades that offer a natural flush, like soft pinks, rosy tones, or even a peachy glow. How to find the best blush colour for your skin tone and undertone, you ask? Those with fair to light skin must go for a cool-toned pink or light coral shade. For medium to olive skin, the best friend this winter season would be warm-toned blush. A pigmented blush with rich tint complements people with deep skin tones.
Winter Blush Tip 2: Cream Blush for the Win
Let’s dedicate cream winter blush to the upcoming cold days! Powder blushes have their place in our makeup vanity and heart, but these formulas may not deliver desired results during winter. Powder blushes lack the hydrating glow of cream blush. A cream blush is an excellent choice as it is buildable, and absorbs into your skin, leaving you with a dewy and hydrated effect (without drawing attention to all the dry patches), just perfect for winter. If you prefer powder blush, go for a creamy yet powder blush formula for the best results.
Pro tip: Warm the product up with your fingers before applying. Tap, tap, tap for a natural blend and voila! You will get a perfect pink winter glow!
Winter Blush Tip 3: Placement is everything for a winter rosy glow
Alright, now that you’ve got the right product and shade, let’s talk about where to put it. The placement of your blush can make or break that pink winter glow you’re going for. Instead of the typical summer look of high cheekbones and bronzed cheeks, winter calls for a different strategy.
To create a soft winter blush makeup look, use the product over the apples of your cheeks-the areas you natively flush in the cold. Smile and bring out the top points of your cheeks before tracing the blush softly upwards toward the temples. And you will get that fresh-from-the-snow, healthy glow.

Winter Blush Tip 4: Try ‘Blush Sandwich’ technique
Don’t you want your winter blush to last all day? Of course, you do! The secret of a lasting pink glow lies in layering. Enter the “blush sandwich” technique – a new-age blush application method that gives you skin-like flush. Start with a dewy foundation or cushion foundation as per your preference. Top it up with a cream blush. You can experiment with liquid cheek and lip tint. Next, apply a second layer of foundation and add more blush to the cheeks. Now, blend, blend, blend for a natural and seamless cheek hue.
Winter Blush Tip 5: Get the glow with a highlighter
Complete your winter blush makeup with a highlighter. A perfectly-put highlighter takes your blush and face game to the next level and makes you look like you're glowing from within. Choose a highlighter that leaves a subtle shine. Go for champagne and soft pink highlights to match your pink blush color. A few dots of liquid highlighter or quick swipes of powder highlighter on your cheek bones, bridge of the nose, and cupid's bow and you are ready to flaunt a smooth pink winter glow.
