Natural blushes, on the other hand, are a different story. They certainly don’t excite at first sight but leave you speechless once applied. Whether powder or cream, matte or satin, they’re just enough without ever being overdone or out of tune—a must-have product for those who put on their morning makeup in a hurry.
Which shade of beige blush to choose?
The Sad Beige Blush theory refers to a product that strikes a perfect balance between pink and brown, at once desaturated yet enhancing one’s complexion without being too bold. It ties in perfectly with minimalistic make-up and is also the perfect finishing touch when we want to wear a bright lipstick but are undecided as to what to apply on the cheeks.

In a nutshell, it’s a passe-partout product—supremely natural and discreet and generally leaning towards pink or peach hues. The important thing is to determine which shade suits us best and decide, accordingly, which blush to opt for.
A blush colour that everyone must have
Those who already have it in their beauty arsenal know that the seemingly boring powder or cream blush is the secret to achieving flawless and foolproof make-up. Not only for the reasons already stated (i.e., that it’s impossible to use too much of it and that its shade suits every look) but also because it can be blended all over the face both to sculpt it discreetly and to enhance the look. In short, it’s a 3-in-1 product. You can apply it on the lips for a light contouring of the mouth, that enhances its contours. To use it all over, pay attention to its texture: it’s best to go for a cream product as it is easily modulated—one with a matte finish or brighter, but without overdoing it because a excessively emollient texture is also less long-lasting.
