After I’ve built up the desired blush intensity, I like to dab whatever is left on the brush to my lips for a kiss of color — just do your best to stay within the lip line to avoid things getting messy. I purchased shades Toasted Sky (a warm burgundy that people online are comparing to Rhode’s Toasted Teddy Pocket Blush) and Dreamy Dawn, a muted rose-brown. I loved both shades, but was especially surprised by Dreamy Dawn, which I’m calling my gateway into pink blush. (I have olive skin, and have had trouble finding pinks that aren’t too cool or bright on me.) A light application made me feel extra cute during work calls and errands, and packing it on made me feel like the star of my own romantasy novel. (A dream vibe, to be honest!)
