‘The texture is gorgeous – you can apply it with just your fingertips”
Lisa Snowdon has become an untapped source of beauty info, and we’ve been paying her Instagram channel our full attention. This week, she took to the app to share the news of a beauty launch with her followers, noting it as the perfect buy for autumn when you want your post-summer skin to look fresh and not thirsty.
The launch in question is Rodial’s Cream Blush collection, which features two new shades of flattering blushers to suit a broad range of skin tones. Trialling them for a Reel, Lisa says: “Look how creamy! The texture is gorgeous. You can apply it with your fingertips – the pigment is so gorgeous and strong.”
Rodial’s Blush Drops have been a cult favourite for ages, so it’s no surprise the brand is expanding the collection just in time for autumn. Launching this week, the new Cream Blush shades– a pretty rose and a vibrant coral– are made to give every complexion a fresh, seasonal pop. Think of them as an instant lift for your cheeks, without looking cakey.

The formula itself is seriously impressive. Lightweight, creamy and very blendable, it glides on easily and buffs into the skin for a smooth, radiant finish. Because of its light and radiance-boosting formula, it’s the perfect pick for anyone with ageing skin, since the product won’t settle into lines or give a chalky, drying effect.
The application is also super flexible. Like Lisa, you can use your fingertips for a soft, natural flush or grab a blending brush to work it into an airbrushed, polished finish. If you’re always dashing out of your house in a rush or doing your makeup on the go, this will be perfect for you.
The new Rodial blushers are a bit of a splurge at £39, though they will last you a very long time since the pigment goes far, so if you’re looking for a different glow-boosting blush recommendation for less, we also love Rare Beauty’s Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, from £15. Just one dot creates a perfect flush of colour that really does last all day. If you like a rosy neutral, shade Hope will be for you.
