    Red is undoubtedly the color to wear this season. The fiery hue has been spotted on everything from dresses to dainty rosettes to powerful suits, and even if you don’t want to wear a head-to-toe red look, you can still play with the trend in your makeup routine. It might sound intimidating, but it’s actually surprisingly achievable and so flattering. Take my favorite product: red blush. It gives this naturally glowing look that’s gorgeous on all skin tones. The one I use is from SheGlam, which is my go-to brand for affordable beauty products. In my opinion, its elevated packaging and high-quality formulas rival high-end makeup. If blush doesn’t do it for you, SheGlam has so many more red beauty products, which I’ve also been eyeing. Keep reading to see my picks and application tips to nail this look. 

    SheGlam Red Makeup

    Color Bloom Liquid Blush
    $5 AT SHEGLAM

    This beautiful liquid blush is one of the brand’s best-selling products. I highly suggest you try out the shade Devoted, a shimmery coral red.

    SheGlam Red Makeup

    Pout-Perfect Shine Lip Plumper
    $5 AT SHEGLAM

    I used to think that all lip plumpers would sting or burn my lips, but then I found this one. It naturally plumps lips with absolutely zero irritation. Plus, it’s high shine and offers incredible color payoff.

    This is your classic candy-red lipstick. This one has a velvety matte formula that lasts all day and a subtle light-reflecting shimmer.

    This dual-toned copper eye shadow would beautifully complement any eye color.

    It’s a fact that cherry-red lipstick with blue undertones makes your teeth look pearly white.

    Cream blush can double as lip tint for a simple but stunning monochromatic look.
