Increasingly, I’ve noticed many people (OK, many people on social media, on the catwalk and everywhere other than in real life) wearing blush that starts from the very high end of the cheekbone – close to the side of the eyes – and then curves round to the bottom of the cheek. If you’ve always just placed your blush on the apples of your cheeks this might feel ambitious. But try it. It’s a clever way to bring warmth into your face. Which in the dead of winter is no bad thing.
