Already starting to plan your beauty look for summer? Fresh faced and sun-kissed with a touch of blush is what we’re looking to for our warmer weather makeup Inspo. Summer skin should be easy, breezy with just enough colour to make your features pop. We asked Director of Artistry for Lancôme Australia, Lara Srokowski, to show us how to achieve an #ontrend summer makeup look – even if you’re not a makeup artist.
So, to find out how to wear blush to compliment your summer skin this season, watch the video above.

Can’t watch the video? Here are some steps to get you started…
- Start by prepping the skin with the Lancôme La Base Pro Hydra Glow Primer, which will capture a bit of glow on the skin before foundation. Use a pearl-sized amount and buff it over the skin with a fluffy brush.
- For foundation Lara used the Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear, which is a medium to full coverage foundation with a matte finish.
- Use the Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Camouflage concealer to cover any dark circles. Bring the product over your eyelids as well to even out the area.
- To set the concealer, Lara used a loose translucent setting powder and a small brush to target the areas that had excess shine.
- Add some highlight to the skin with Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Custom Glow Drops in Rose Glow. Apply the product to the high points of your cheeks, cupids bow, and down the centre of the nose with fingertips.
- For fresh and healthy cheeks, use a cream or liquid product like the Lancôme Cushion Blush Subtil and apply a small amount to the apples of the cheeks.

I like the shade of the Models Prefer Cream Blush Stick. A little blush goes a long way for me. Flushed summer cheeks looks awesome.
I haven’t tried any of these blushes yet.
