Brushwork: The Monochrome Blush Technique

Brushwork: Monochrome Blush

One shade, three placements—cheek, eye, lip. The monochrome blush look is deceptively simple and beautifully cohesive. Our Glam Beauty Guide artists use it when the brief is soft, modern, and fast.

Choose the Right Tone

Think petal pink, nutmeg, or soft terracotta—colors that echo your undertone.

Cheeks First

Sheer the cream across the apples, then lift toward temples. Whatever remains on the brush taps onto lids.

Lips Last

Press into the center of the mouth and blur the edges. Add balm if you want more sheen.

The effect looks considered without looking done. A Glam Beauty Guide favorite for busy mornings.
