How to Use Two Shades of Blush to Achieve the Perfect Summer Flush

Babu first applied Bombshell where she would typically contour, i.e. in the hollows of the cheekbones and up towards the temples. Then she applied Almost Famous on the apples of the cheeks, making sure to blend the two together for a flawless transition from orange to pink. Using both colors helped sculpt the face and gave the complexion plenty of warmth. She paired the dual-blush look with a pink graphic eye (here’s how to recreate it) and a glossy neutral lip.

If you’re feeling bold, you can also opt for more unconventional blush shades like yellow or purple. This can serve as a continuation of a bright eye look or stand alone as the focal point of your makeup. Whichever shades you decide to play with, Babu suggests applying the brighter or more natural-looking color on the apples of the cheeks and transitioning to a darker or more out-there shade at the outer corners of the face.
