Blusher + Bronzer

Blusher+ Bronzer

Colour on the cheeks is the fastest way to make skin look well, and the easiest thing to overdo. The split that matters is cream against powder: cream sits into the skin and suits drier or recently treated skin, powder sits on top and holds better on oilier skin. Most people need one of each rather than more shades of the same thing.

Blusher + Bronzer

Cream Blush and Cream Blush Stick melt into the skin and look most natural on dry or mature skin. Blush is the powder version for anyone who needs colour to stay put. Bronze and Cream Bronze Stick warm the face rather than tan it, and the Contour Kit is the one for actual shaping rather than colour. Skin Glow Powder Highlighter and Glow Up Highlighter finish it, used lightly and high on the cheekbone.

Where to start

A cream blush, applied with fingers or a dense brush and built up slowly. It is the most forgiving thing on this page and the hardest to get wrong.

Glo Skin Beauty cheek products, curated by the clinicians at The London Road Clinic in Newark, Nottinghamshire, cover cream and powder blusher, bronzer, contour and highlighter in mineral, talc-free formulas that sit well on skin that is part-way through a course of treatment.

Good to know

Frequently asked

Cream or powder, which suits me?

Dry, mature or recently treated skin usually looks better in cream, because it sits into the skin rather than on top of texture. Oily skin holds powder for longer. If you are between the two, cream first and powder over the top lasts longest.

Where should blusher go?

High on the cheek, blended towards the temple, not in a circle on the apple. Smile to find the position, then apply slightly above where you land, because it drops through the day.

Is bronzer the same as contour?

No. Bronzer is warmth and goes where the sun would hit. Contour is shadow and goes underneath the cheekbone. Using a bronzer to contour is why it often ends up looking muddy.
