What is Liquid Blush?
Blush is a beauty staple that can transform the look of your complexion, lifting the look of your natural skin tone with a flattering pop of colour for the face and cheeks. Liquid blush is an easy way to give your makeup a natural-looking glow, making it simple to build up pigment before blending seamlessly into your base makeup. My world-famous liquid blush wands are iconic liquid blushes, giving beauty lovers around the world an easy, buildable and blendable formula to beautify their cheeks with!

Where to Apply Liquid Blush
Where you apply liquid blush may depend on the formula you are using and your natural face shape, but generally, liquid blush should be applied to the apples of your cheeks and blended up to the tops of the cheekbones.
To identify the apples of your cheeks, smile into the mirror - the plumpest area at the centre of your cheeks is called the apple. When applying your liquid blush, use the middle of your eyes as the cut-off point and avoid placing product any closer to your nose.
Refer to the below diagram for my makeup artist-approved liquid blush placements!

Step 1: Beautify Your Complexion
Before you apply liquid blush, beautify your complexion by applying one of my fabulous foundations! Choose Airbrush Flawless Foundation for a full-coverage look, Charlotte's Beautiful Skin Foundation for a healthy-looking glow with medium-buildable coverage, or Unreal Skin Hydrating Foundation Stick as a glow-amplifying light coverage option. Then, to conceal the appearance of uneven skin tone, dark circles and blemishes, apply Charlotte’s Beautiful Skin Radiant Concealer, building up to your desired coverage.
Step 2: Dial Up The Dots!
Pillow Talk Matte Beauty Blush Wands have an innovative cushion applicator that’s designed to be dotted onto the cheeks to build up your ideal blush look. Twist the component to unlock your liquid blush, then gently squeeze your wand to release product into the cushion. The key to blushing cheeks is to DIAL UP THE DOTS!
DOT, DOT, BLEND, and POP! Add one dot to the apples of your cheeks for a soft, daytime look, and add a second dot as a romantic, rosy date night look. If you’re heading to the disco, add a third dot and make your cheeks BLUSH!
Tilbury Tip: Beauty Light Wands and Pillow Talk Matte Beauty Blush Wands can be layered to tailor your perfect blush look!
Step 3: Blush and Glow!
Beauty Light Wands can be effortlessly layered on top of Pillow Talk Beauty Light Matte Wands to complete your blush look. My liquid blush-highlighters are designed to be swiped onto the tops of the cheekbones, giving them a gorgeous, glowing finish. Apply the radiant formula slightly higher than your matte liquid blush, focusing your glow on the highest points to capture beauty light on the cheeks, giving them the dreamiest glow and creating a beautifying lift effect!
Step 4: Blend Upwards and Outwards
Using my Hollywood Complexion Brush, blend out your liquid blush with the large, tapered end to create a seamless blush look. When blending out your product, use soft, sweeping motions and make sure to work upwards and outwards towards the tops of the cheeks – this will create a flattering lift effect!
