Pillow Talk Blushes

TO CREATE A BEAUTIFUL PAINTING, YOU NEED A BEAUTIFUL CANVAS

To begin, cleanse your skin with Goddess Cleansing Ritual, Charlotte’s glow-boosting spa-in-a-jar cleansing duo, followed by the award-winning Charlotte’s Magic Cream to moisturize the skin.

Create a flawless base with your favorite foundation! Looking for full coverage? Try Airbrush Flawless Foundation. Looking for something lighter? Try Light Wonder. And for buildable coverage, try Magic Foundation!

Always apply blusher at the end of your makeup look so you can see how much color you need. Charlotte’s Cheek to Chic blush has a magical, buildable formula, so start by applying a small amount and slowly build up the intensity.

Charlotte's Tips for the Perfect Blusher Application

  1. A closed compact blush in a tawny-brown lid with the CT logo printed on it.

    Step 1: SWISH

    SWISH the Bronzer and Blusher Brush around the outer shade and tap off any excess. Run the brush straight up the cheekbone starting from the apple of the cheek, to structure your face.

  2. An open, two-tone powder blush in a nude pink shade.

    Step 2: POP

    POP the middle shade by dipping your brush into the middle color and tap off any excess. Apply to the apples of the cheeks to make them pop and glow, and blend seamlessly together.
