Nonetheless, seeing my associates and coworkers with their flushed cheeks made me marvel if perhaps I ought to hop on the blush prepare, too. To find out the newest and best available on the market, I requested my friends and scrolled on TikTok, and the one consensus throughout the 2 was the Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush.

The formulation labored so effectively with my current base routine, which incorporates the Make-up By Mario SurrealSkin Basis and Tarte Sculpt Tape Contour. The blush layered completely with no patchiness, which is a powerful feat whenever you’re layering powders over cream merchandise. To not point out, the end is certainly glowy (therefore the Glow Blush identify) so you could possibly skip highlighter altogether. Nonetheless, I am all about that glow — so the extra, the higher.
