You can do the best contours, the most bad-ass lip, and the longest lashes, but somehow, your look doesn't look complete without a bit of blusher. Many makeup artists believe blush is the bow that ties everything together, whether it be a subtle kiss of pink or a bold flash of rouge. Plus, blush is having a significant moment, graduating from makeup bag staple to a starring role in almost every red carpet beauty look.

From draping to peach cheeks, there's so much more the humble rouge can do, and we urge you to experiment this autumn. When it comes to colour, rose and peach hues tend to suit lighter skin tones and deep plums, and bright tangerines will complement darker skin. If you like to stick to the bronzed look, don't fret – an apricot coloured blush will only add to your face. Here, we've tried and tested a range of blushers to suit all kinds of skin types and tones. Shop the edit below to find which one is right for you.
