Sure, bronzer can give you a golden glow all over, but blush has the power to bring a dull complexion to life. Here are our favourite new blush palettes to hit counters.

Application tip: If you’re new to wearing rosy shades, go easy on the application: swirl the brush around the palette, tap the brush a couple of times to remove excess powder, then gently blend it onto the apples of your cheeks.

Dior Diorsnow Cherry Bloom Blush

Inspired by the native Japanese tree, this palette features multiple tones to enhance cheekbones and add a subtle sheen, like a blush and highlighter in one.
