(Don’t worry “DNA” is figurative for Tilbury.
No children were harmed in the making of this blush.)
It looks so fresh on your skin."

Of course, she has to say that, but I dont disagree.
Youd never know the ethereal flush beaming from my cheeks wasnt natural.
All that said, the placement of this pretty pigment matters a lot.

Tilburys advice: “Never start too low it pulls your cheeks down.
Always go high on your cheekbones.
She suggests that blush should be the last step in your routine.

Regardless though, the way Tilbury sees it, blush is currently a necessity.

What happens when you’re tired?
The color falls from your face.
Blush is vital.”
She might be right.
Here, they blush and tell.
The finish is more matte than that of my beloved Pinkgasm, but it certainly isn’t flat.
The color is pigmented which I appreciate and a little goes a very long way.
Im all for more Charlotte Tilbury makeup, especially a new extension of my go-to Pinkgasm Wand.
Out of the new shades, I immediately gravitated toward Peach Pop.
An orange-toned blush gives my olive-toned complexion the illusion of a summertime tan… in the middle of winter.
Even with a light coverage foundation underneath, the liquid blush blended like butter.
So much so that I went ahead and applied one additional dot on either side just for kicks.
While I could go on, Ill let my selfie take it from here.
TheCharlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Matte Beauty Blush Wand is $42 and will be available on February 2 atcharlottetilbury.com.
