Blush is a beauty product that is looked over far too often. It's an essential step in a makeup routine that is subtle with promising results. Of course, bronzers and contour powders are

great for an instantaneous St. Tropez moment, and highlighters can make us look and feel like a radiant orb when our lack of sleep makes us feel anything but. But what happens when you want to look a little more effortless? There's nothing like a quick hit of blush to liven up our complexion in a time of need or when we're aiming for a natural beauty look. 

Blush's transformative powers make it easy to understand why it's one of the most important beauty staples among celebrities, makeup artists, and beauty editors. It makes you look more alive and healthier than that fifth cup of coffee ever will. Simply put, blush does a lot without ever doing too much.
