The Hooray Henrys (aka British preps) preach that summer is as much a state of mind as a season and if lolling on daddy’s private yacht isn’t viable, the summer flush technique creates the illusion. Simply use a creme blush, love and if reference is needed, flip through a vintage Jcrew catalogue.

If the Amuse Soft Cream Cheek in 03 Peach Tan is good enough for the general male population in Seoul, then it’s most definitely good enough for us. Shop it here. 

What does the Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge Cream Color For Lips & Cheeks in Fresh Melon prove about the Pantone you should pick for a natural finish? Pick the ones that sound like something you can order off a menu. Shop it here. 

With a shade named Summertime Wine, what vibe can you expect from the Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush? Drinking wine by the baccarat barrels at your family estate in the countryside of course. Shop it here. 

It takes a big ego to wear Tarte’s Maracuja Blush that’s similarly named but the results are one to flex on: a sun-kissed flush and glow that can only come from accidentally falling asleep on your own private yacht. Shop it here. 

The most flattering shade from Nudestix’s Nudies Matte All Over Face Color Blush line is called…Bare Back so we’ll leave it to you to form your own opinions. PS: Sometimes, a sunburn looks like a post-coital flush. Shop it here.
