If there's one thing we can always rely on, it's YSL Beauty delivering serious glam — and the latest launch is no exception. Blush is a non-negotiable step in my makeup routine, so, when a new one lands on my desk, I'm desperate to give it a test run. The latest blush to have on your radar? Enter: YSL Make Me Blush Powder Blushes.

This one had my attention from the get-go with Dua Lipa - flawlessly - fronting the campaign and TikTok, naturally, going wild for it. YSL already has a liquid blush in its lineup, but its powder counterpart has officially arrived, and it's taken social media by storm. The verdict? A velvety, pigmented flush that's equal parts modern and effortlessly chic.

As we finally await some sun, blush is the ultimate shortcut to a sun-kissed glow. The blurring yet buildable formula is available in a wardrobe of 11 shades - designed to stay in place for 24 hours. TikTokers are not just enamoured by the pigmented, bold formula but the super luxe packaging that feels like a mini YSL clutch.

After incorporating this into my daily routine, I totally get the hype. The finely milled powder glides onto my skin, blurring pores in a way I’ve never experienced from a powder blush. I opted for ‘Babydoll Pink 42’, a light, blue-toned pink that delivers the perfect fresh-faced flush. Instantly, my complexion looked more radiant, less dull – and for that alone, I’m sold.

But is it worth the splurge? At £39, it’s undeniably a luxury buy, but given the rich pigment and silky finish, a little goes a long way. If you’re in the market for a statement blush that feels as good as it looks, this might just be your next beauty obsession.
