Blush

Blush, a.k.a. “rouge,” is a makeup applied to add color to the cheeks. As the name suggests, sometimes the shade of blush is designed to recreate your natural cheek color. But it can also infuse cheeks with a fun, trendy pop of color—think just-pinched peach or an in-from-the-cold flush.

Common question to the Clinique Experts: What is blush used for? Blush can be used to create a subtle, lit-from-within glow or the look of sun-kissed skin. You can also use it to define the cheekbones and create a sculpted look. With a single blush, you can create a variety of looks simply by applying it to different areas of the face.

For a natural look, select a blush that matches your cheek color when your skin is flushed. If you want a blush for contouring, nude shades are a top choice for all skin tones. Cool skin tones pop in blue-based pinks, while warm tones beam in salmon pink, peach, and other yellow-based colors.
