The return of rosy cheeks

blushers for your cheek
Full of colour: blushers to give your cheeks a lift.

Is this the end of contouring? As Michael Kors sent his rosy-cheeked models down the winter catwalk, a sigh of relief rippled across the internet. The thing about the pink cheek, as opposed to the Kardashian contours, is it is almost impossible to screw up. Use your fingers, a brush, someone else’s fingers if that feels right for you (no judgment), just find a colour that matches yours when you’re flushed – peachy tones for pale skin, apricot for darker skin – and pop it high on the apples of your cheeks. And smile.
