Our makeup lead on building a flush that survives camera flash, sweat and a 2am taco run — plus the exact shades we wore.
By Plumo Lab

Camera flash is brutal on cream blush. It flattens everything, finds every edge and turns a soft flush into two pink stripes. Jelly Tint was built to stain rather than sit, which is why it survives it.
Build it in thin layers
Tap one layer on the apples of the cheeks, wait thirty seconds for it to set, then press a second layer only where you want depth. Two thin coats read as skin. One thick coat reads as product.
The shades we wore
Cherry Pop on lips and a sheer wash on cheeks, Plum Jam pressed into the centre of the lip for depth, and a single tap of Guava high on the cheekbone to catch the light.
