Did you know that orange blush can be just as effective as pink or red in bringing out the radiance of your skin? Orange complements all skin tones, and with hues like peach, terracotta, and coral falling under the orange family, you’re sure to find the perfect shade for you. If you’re interested in trying something new, here are five ways to wear orange blush as a substitute for your usual go-to blush.
1. Monochromatic Peach
If you’re running low on time but still want to look put-together, try a monochromatic makeup look. All you need is a cream stick, like our favourite Nudestix Nudies All Over Face Colour Matte in ‘Nude Peach’, applied to your eyes, lips, and cheeks for a cohesive and effortless look. Enhance your features with eyeliner, mascara, and highlighter. It’s a quick and easy way to achieve a polished look.
