A Coral Affair

Having a complexion devoid of any kind of natural flush I love a bit of blusher to make me look less zombie and more alive.

My favourite blusher combination at the moment is Benefits ‘coralista’ and Sleeks blusher in ‘coral’.

Left: Benefit 'coralista'    Right: Sleek 'coral'

For days when I want a more satin look I will just apply (using the MAC 188 brush) the ‘coralista’, which by the way smells divine. Not so sure why that is necessary, I don’t find myself in any cheek smelling situations but it’s a nice touch nevertheless.

Now for days I want to go for more colour over shimmer I will layer some sleek coral with a little ‘coralista’. The ‘coral’ adds a depth of colour without the extra shimmer, while the ‘coralista’ gives that little bit of a glow.

Sleeks ‘coral’ is my go to blush to pair with dramatic eye looks, especially if they happen to be of the green variety. It’s also a brilliant blush to check out if you have tanned or a darker skin, it gives the prettiest flush of colour while looking very natural. It has looked amazing on everyone I’ve managed to coerce into being a test subject.
