The blush hack that'll bring instant warmth to winter skin

We're big lover's of blush year-round, but when winter rolls into town, that's when rouge really shines.
And if you were looking for a way to really get your apples looking illuminated and fresh this season, we've just discovered a game-changing hack that'll do just that.

In an Instagram story posted to @welovecoco (an account of beauty enthusiasts showcasing all things Chanel makeup and skin care, aka boujee town) model @jessicaclements produced her ultimate dewy, 'fresh as a daisy' makeup look:

Featuring a peachy eye, lightly contoured bronzed glow and a slightly overlined lip, the whole thing was a dream to watch, but it was Jessica's blush application trick that really caught our attention.
Using Chanel's newest product (of course), the Les Beiges Healthy Glow Highlighting Fluid in Pearly Glow, Jessica pumped a few drops of the liquid onto the back of her hand. Then, using a beautyblender, she picked up some of the highlighting fluid and dabbed it straight into her powder blush. In this case, the pan in question was Chanel's Joues Contraste Rouge Profond.
With both products combined on the sponge, Jessica then dabbed the mix onto the apples of her cheeks and lightly across the bridge of her nose. She cited the technique as being similar to creating your “own luminous cream blush”.
We have to say, we'd considered liquid-to-liquid mixing before, but the combination of textures had us intrigued.
As curious as we are? Here's some of our favourite blush and illuminators that we think would make an excellent mix:
Bobbi Brown Blush, Models Prefer Blush, CLINIQUE Blushing Blush Powder Blush, Nude by Nature Virgin Blush, Benefit High Beam Liquid Highlighter, Maybelline New York Master Strobing Liquid Illuminating Highlighter, CLINIQUE Up-Lighting Liquid Illuminator

This is a good way to ensure you're not heavy on the blush.

I've been adding blush over my highlight (both powder) so its softens and combines, this is an interesting way to combine two different product types

I put a blush on my eyelids yesterday and it wore really well and I loved the look of it too.

Amazing suggestions indeed, I recommend trying to go to https://luxondemand.com/ to get a blush that fits you. You can also browse for other essentials as well. I tried it and I was very impressed by the service and delivery time. There are articles like these too on the website and also do check out their new E-book recently released, I hope this helps. https://luxondemand.com/products/the-beauty-manual

Jessica would probably look as fresh as a daisy without blush.

I wouldn't tip into blush powder directly but perhaps a palette or back of hand.

I don't wear much if any blush as my cheeks tend to flush anyway, but maybe I should experiment with the things I have in my stash - nothing to lose.

Jessica is sooooo pretty!
Blush does not suit me, so I don't wear them.

Tend to stick to Rose Pink Blush most of the time, never thought about mixing colours will have to try it out myself. For a colour change.
