Now, personified onto the high points on your cheeks. All you need is two shades of blush – bright pink and orange, as well as a liquid highlighter. This pretty combination of pigments is poised to be the makeup trend of the season.

How to: Sunset Blush makeup trend
As self-diagnosed ‘blushaholics’, we approve this glistening take on how to apply your blush:
Start on the high points of your cheeks. In line with the top of your ear or side-burn, take your liquid blush shade in pink – the anchor of this trend – and make two dots. These symbolise femininity and grace.
Directly in line with the pink, proceed with another two dots in an orange, peach or coral shade of liquid blush. This mirrors the vibrance of the sky, as the sun dips below the horizon.
Above this, pull out your favourite liquid highlighter and create a sleek stroke.
The magic happens when this is all blended together.
Pro tip: Always blend upwards to create a snatched jaw look.
