When it comes to blush, it’s all about two things: Placement and color. In regards to the former, start at the outer corner of your cheekbone and move in. Instead of focusing on the apples of your cheeks, instead concentrate the color on the outer part of your face, a bit higher than the apples. It’s part contouring, part playful and altogether alluring. In terms of color, today we’re bringing you the top ten plum blushes out there. Plum is a color trend we’re really warming up to, as it gives you a fun, sexy and retro ‘70s vibe we’re really digging.
