The fall season is the best time to add something new to your makeup routine. Say, a different mascara, a fun bronzer, or, in Gigi Hadid’s case, a vibrant and lovely rosy blush that takes every look from zero to 100.

The American model took to her Instagram to post some snaps of her glam before stepping out as a bridesmaid for her sister Alana’s wedding in October. Her makeup was akin to that of a garden fae, with the softest finishes that only further elevated her natural beauty. A glossy pink lip, cleanly-shaped eyebrows and lightly fluffed eyelashes were to thank for that. However, the real showstopper was none other than her flushed cheeks by way of her pigmented blush.

It’s no wonder that Hadid, along with the majority of the makeup community, embraces going all out with blush rather than hiding away from adding more pigmented products to the skin. Not only does the particular product she used incorporate a romantic element to the look, but it also acts as a flawless finisher to tie everything together before setting the makeup.

All around, a rosy blush is a an absolute must-have to include in any beauty routine this fall.

Here are all the products Hadid used to bring her wedding glam to life. Beginning with none other than her blush, which is utterly fabulous.

Liquid blush

This sun-kissed tone is a great introduction to the grand world of blush products. Maybelline’s Sunkisser Multi-use Liquid Blush and Bronzer ($11.99) is fun, flirty and, most importantly, timeless. No matter the occasion, it’s sure to make a statement. And the best part is that it doubles as a bronzer, too!

Eye pencil

Eye pencils exist to add a level of drama to the eyes. You can use a product like Maybelline'sTattoo Studio® Sharpenable Longwear Waterproof Gel Eyeliner Pencil ($10.99) on the waterline to bring out the shape of your eyes and round them out. Or use them on the corner for a winged eyeliner. Either way, this pencil is perfection.

Lipstick

Maybelline / Maybelline

What better way to bring out the hue of a rosy blush than with an equally rosy lip? Hadid knows this to be true, as she implemented this marvelous lipstick into her regimen, leaving her lips delicate and creamy all day. The Maybelline Super Stay® Vinyl Ink® Longwear Liquid Lipcolor ($13.99) stands out as a stunner that provides a striking and alluring vibe.

How to achieve smudge-proof blush

Whether you’re the bridesmaid in a loved one’s wedding or just going out and want to look good from morning to night, you're going to want your blush to stay on and be hassle-free. Follow these simple tips and tricks for a rosy cheek that does not move with day-to-day activities.

What blush to use

Hadid’s liquid blush is great for those dewy and glowy looks. Products that belong to this category tend to be very pigmented and should be well blended so it doesn’t look splotchy, and also include cream blushes.

The other alternative is a powder or press-on blush. Powder blushes are for those looks with a matte finish or a more airbrushed look. These products are very dependent on how much you apply on that first hit, so be sure to build instead of packing on heavy.

Where to place blush

Where you place your blush depends primarily on your face shape. Case in point, those with rounder faces should apply blush between their temples, underneath the eye and a tad bit across the nose. On the same note, those with oval faces may find applying to the apple of the cheeks and blending downwards will work best. Different shapes require different approaches.

After doing some research, experiment with what you believe best suits your face shape.

When to place blush on the face

When to place blush is a topic that usually has the beauty community torn in two. Some believe it’s best before concealer to get the blush to really pop, while others believe it goes after setting powder to be more pronounced. Even still, the general consensus seems to be that it varies depending on the type of blush used.

It's also worth noting that blush should seldom be the very last product you apply. If so, you could end up with a product that shifts, which defies the purpose. Once again, try out and see what is optimal for what you need.

All in all, lean into the power of blush this autumn. You won’t regret the bright color it offers on those cold and gray fall days.
