You’ll Need to Buy More Blush for Fall


You may want to snap a photo of your natural flush after a day of skiing in crazy-cold climes for blush inspiration next September: wind-burned cheeks are all the runway rage on day seven of New York Fashion Week. Also popular? Elongated brows and bright blue lids (which we’d suggest trying separately from hot pink cheeks).

Element-ravaged Cheeks
Chalet-chic rosy cheeks ruled the runway at Michael Kors. According to Shiseido’s Dick Page, the look is a “bloody, wonky flush, like after a morning of skiing, an hour in a hot tub or some good sex.” Similarly, Page created another weather-related blush concept, this time for Zero + Maria Cornejo, which he called a “frost bitten flush.” He applied blush to the apples of the cheek, blending up and out toward the hairline in a chevron shape, layering lipstick along the bridge of the nose and finishing with a flash of color on the forehead. Going for tan rather than wind-brushed, James Kaliardos created a dusty, Aboriginal feel inspired by the Australian outback with bronze, sun-kissed cheeks at Rodarte.
