Forget barely-there pinks; this season, the prettiest blushes are deep, rich and berry-toned. I would never have previously opted for this tone (coming from a true coral blush girl), but now I’ve tried the more daunting deep shades, I’m obsessed.

The beauty of the berry-blush trend is that ‘deep’ doesn’t have to mean dramatic. Apply any of these shades with a light hand and blend the edges well, and those intimidating-looking pans transform into the prettiest autumn flush. I’ve been trying all the new launches, so here’s my top five…

This new deep berry shade Cassis comes in Pixi’s signature solid balm stick, giving a sheer-to-buildable wash of colour. The formula is super hydrating with a dewy finish thanks to its ingredients list of aloe vera, ginseng and fruit extracts. This formula really gives a ‘juicy’ effect; perfect for tapping onto the cheeks with your fingers for that fresh, flushed look.
If you really want the glow with your blush, this Gen Nude one from Bare Minerals gives a fresh, glass-skin finish. You can use this little stick on cheeks and lips (perfect for popping in your handbag!). It leaves lips feeling super supple and is clinically proven to improve skin hydration in 8 hours. This stick nails dewy without looking oily on the skin, and glossy without being sticky on the lips.
Aimee has reformulated her cream blushers, and now they’re better than ever. Wild Rose is such a pretty deep buildable berry which melts seamlessly into the skin. The ingredient list includes hyaluronic acid to help lock in hydration, vitamin E to condition the skin and castor seed oil to give the formula its silky glide. I love Aimee’s products and this new reformulation doesn’t disappoint! 
This new Cloudlight blush is the cooler, more muted take on the berry-blush trend. This multi-toned powder formula gives a soft flush while blurring the appearance of the skin and reflecting light for a multidimensional finish. Even though this is a powder formulation, it contains squalane, shea butter and hyaluronic acid so it won’t look flat on the skin. Use a fluffy brush for a diffused wash or a denser brush when you want to turn up the intensity.
If you find traditional cream blushes too wet and powders too flat, I think you’ll love Glow Play. The cushiony, bouncy texture gives sheer-to-medium, buildable colour and melts into the complexion rather than sitting heavily on top. It contains grape seed oil and jojoba seed oil to give you a natural-looking glow while blurring the appearance of pores and fine lines. The finish is so pretty, so don’t be intimidated by how dark it looks in the pan.
