For blush, I wanted colour that felt playful but intentional. I tapped Smashbox Hot Stx Blush Stick in Ultraviolet onto the apples of the cheeks, then added Poppy Pic in a more sweeping, liberal application to lift and sculpt. The layering of cool violet and bright poppy created this energetic flush that mirrored the styling perfectly.

If you’ve got a purple blush in your collection but find yourself hesitating to use it, try pairing it with a pink-toned blush to enhance the colour and create a more wearable colour. The pink softens the coolness of the purple, bringing out a fresher, more balanced flush that feels less experimental and more effortlessly chic.
