This season saw tactful bursts of color—and we’re not just talking about the clothes. From saturated hues to a natural flush, models with a hint of rouge on their cheeks were all over the runways at London Fashion Week. While Eudon Choi chose to apply the blush directly onto the apples of the cheeks, Yuhan Wang and Paolo Carzana opted to work the formula up toward the ear, adding a flush of color in one fell swoop.

For a slightly undetectable glow that imparts a dewy effect on the skin, highlight the inner corner of your eye. You can go in with a regular highlighter and tap the formula onto your skin, or you can opt for a bright silver eyeshadow, similar to the shades seen in the KNWLS and Aaron Esh collections.
