Maura Higgins’ makeup artist shared the secret to her rosy glow at this year’s BAFTAs, and it included two different blushers – one of which now has 20% off, saving you £10
As the stars hit the red carpet at this year’s BAFTAs, Maura Higgins has already been a stand out thanks to her show-stopping mint green gown. The former Love Island star is already topping best-dressed lists, but whilst our opportunities for copying her outfit are limited, her makeup look is a different story.
To complement her floor-sweeping gown, Maura’s makeup artist Suzy Clarke opted for a more understated rosy glow which is something we’re much more likely to replicate – especially now one of the products she used is on sale. Whilst Suzy didn’t directly confirm which products she used, she shared a quick look behind the scenes at the products she had ready to create Maura’s makeup, and it included two powder blushers that were responsible for the rosy pink flush on her cheeks.

The discounted blusher is Yves Saint Laurent’s Make Me Blush Powder , which is usually priced at £39. However Debenhams currently has a 20% offer on it, letting you snap it up for £31.20 – but if you use the code BEAUTY5, you’ll get even more off, slashing the price to £29.64 and saving you £10.
Although there wasn’t a close up of the shade Suzy used, it looks to be 87 Pink Voltage, a bold pink hue. However you can also pick from seven other shades, if the pink is a little too dramatic for you.
The Make Me Blush Powder has a silky powder formula that not only adds colour, but helps blur the look of pores and imperfections underneath. It’s also infused with skincare products such as squalene, for hydration, and rosehip from the YSL Beauty Ourika Gardens in Morocco, which helps give it its soft, blendable texture.
It’s waterproof and sweatproof – ideal for the soaring London temperatures Maura faced on the BAFTAs red carpet – and is also buildable. That means you can opt for a subtle sweep of colour, build it up for a more intense pay off, or blend it with another shade like Suzy did.
Rather than blending it with another shade from the YSL Make Me Blush Powder , Suzy mixed it up with another powder blusher altogether, showing it alongside the £28 KOSAS Blush is Life in her beauty set up. Just like the YSL one, the Kosas blusher is a powder formula that’s infused with hydrating squalene and hyaluronic acid.
It looks like Suzy used that shade Butterflies – another bold pink colour – and each of the eight shades is baked and swirled with two different tones to give a more dynamic colour. It has a talc-free formula which melts into your skin and is easy to blend, giving a radiant skin-like finish. To copy Maura’s look, layer both blushers together on the apples of your cheeks, before sweeping up towards your temples for a natural flushed look.
