No one does fresh and natural radiance quite like Miranda Kerr. And now – superfoods, wacky beauty treatments and impeccable genetics aside – the Kora Organic’s founder has revealed one of her best kept secrets for achieving a flushed, lit-from-within-glow. Drumroll please… It’s a cream blush!
However, not the kind that we’re used to. Instead, Miranda has concocted her own custom blend using her favourite lipstick and a face oil.
Yes, you read that correctly.
And of course, you could always just go out and purchase an existing cream blush. But, once you catch a glimpse of Miranda’s dewy and delicate end result, it’s hard not to give this method a crack.
Here’s how to create Miranda’s “healthy cream blush”…
“I’m using the Ilia Color Block Lipstick ($47, MECCA) in shade ‘Marsala’, and I put a little on the back of my hand here,” she explained. Ilia’s hydrating lipsticks have been enriched with castor seed and mango seed oil, giving them a smooth and creamy finish.
Plus, the new lipstick formulation offers four times more pigment than their predecessor, making for a much richer colour payoff.
Next, “I add a drop of the Noni Glow Face Oil and then using your finger, you just mix it together [on the back of your hand] and add a little bit to your cheeks,” she said, dabbing the blush to the apples of her cheeks.
To finish, Miranda tied the look together by using the lipstick as it was intended – on her lips.
And there you have it, the perfect fresh-faced, delicate blush for winter.

What do you think about Miranda’s blush hack? Will you give it a try?
Her makeup is always lovely.
she has amazing skin and it really glows
NO WAY. That to me is bordering on crazy.
I don’t use blush.
Neither but it does look nice when it is used right
That’s such a clever trick. She always looks amazing
That sounds interesting, I’m not a fan of the blush.
It sounds like worth trying. One less product needed
That’s interesting, might give it a try
I like it why not hack anything if it works for you 🙂
I do this all the time but without the oil. I like that colour though.
Looks fab on her & so does all the Botox in her forehead.
I didn’t know she has Botox! I thought she naturally looks like this.
I use lipstick all the time when I have nothing else.
i minimise oils as they don’t soak in
Soak into your skin?
Ooo good tip!
I sometimes use a lipstick but I’ll try adding the face oil to see how it goes.
Miranda Kerr always looks beautiful great hack using your lipstick as a blush as well.
I love cream blush
She looks lovely but the recommended combo seems a little gimmicky
I occasionally use lippy as blush, but I haven’t tried mixing it with facial oil.
A good hack but I have blush on hand if I need it
Thought she’d have a specific product for this
I’ve used lipstick as a blush before & it has worked well. Never mixed it with face oil as the lipstick itself is oily enough.
Cream blush is great! Especially when doing a natural makeup look.
Such a simple thing to do. She looks lovely as always.
She is able to blend it in very well. It looks so natural.
I couldn’t be bothered but it does look good on MK
Not something I’d have thought to try, but there’s no doubt she looks great.
Miranda is always glowing
It’s a nice and easy trick she has. Sounds especially good for travelling.
I wonder where her accent comes from?
I do this very often. It always looks nice.
I’m too lazy to do that BUT Miranda always looks gorgeous. We need the secret to her glowing skin!
This is wonderful and will definitely give it a try.
I appreciate her effort to try and find interesting ways to use her products for selling purposes, but I’d much prefer to just buy a cream blush separately, less messy than mixing an oil with lipstick on your hand. I can understand doing that if you really want to match the cheek colour with the lip colour though, when there is no match available.
Interesting yeah i’d like to try this sometime
Never thought to try that!
I like this idea but I’d just apply a blush I have lol
