Are you overwhelmed by blush and how to find the right one for you? What was once a simple makeup step now has so many formats, textures, shades and product options that it feels hard to choose. So in today’s ep, we’re breaking down the different blush types and which ones may work best for you, plus some tips on picking your shade (or shades), tools for application and where to apply. If that wasn’t enough, we’re back with beauty updates from our break and our MVPs - a budget skin-smoothing body serum, and a holy grail lipstick from the US brand that is *finally* available to buy in Australia.

We hope you enjoy!
