Glow Like A Pro: Amanda Bell’s Foolproof Blush Hack for Perfectly Flushed Cheeks

August 28, 2024

If you’ve ever struggled with getting your blush just right, Amanda Bell, Pro Makeup Artist and Director of Artistry at Pixi, has the solution you’ve been waiting for. During a recent private luncheon, Amanda revealed a genius blush hack that’s both quick and foolproof. With her expert technique, achieving a naturally flushed look has never been easier.

The secret to a flawless blush application? It starts with your hands. Amanda suggests sweeping your favorite cream blush onto the heel of your hand. Once you’ve got the desired color there, gently rub the heels of both hands together. This not only warms up the product but ensures an even distribution of color. Next, it’s time to apply. Rock the heel of your hand back and forth along the flat part of your cheekbone. This motion perfectly places the color, giving you a natural-looking flush that blends seamlessly into your skin.

One of Amanda’s go-to products for this hack is Pixi’s On-the-Glow Blush. This tinted balm is a beauty must-have, formulated with skin-loving ingredients like Ginseng, Aloe Vera, and a unique blend of Fruit Extracts. Not only does it deliver a hint of natural color, it also hydrates and conditions your skin with every wear. Plus, it’s versatile—use it on your cheeks for a rosy glow or swipe it on your lips for a hint of tint that’s perfect for on-the-go touch-ups. The product gets bonus point in our book for being lightweight and easy to toss and go.

But why stop at a simple flush when you can take your glow to the next level? If you’re into that dewy, lit-from-within look, Amanda has another trick up her sleeve. Start by applying a few strokes of Pixi’s SuperGlow to the back of your hand to warm it up. Then, blend in a couple of drops of +Rose Essence Oil, creating a veil of color that’s ready to be buffed into your skin. This combo gives your complexion that coveted lit by candlelight glow. Finish off with your base or concealer for the most ethereal, airbrushed finish.

With these expert tips from Amanda Bell, you’re just a few steps away from a glowing, radiant complexion. Whether you’re after a subtle flush or a dewy, candlelit glow, this technique is sure to elevate your beauty routine. —Brittany Johnson
