As Summer ends, you can start turning to shimmer blushes to give your cheeks the dewy effect you get from being outside in the summer (but without the sweat). You can find shimmer blushes in gel, creams, and powder form — all of which leave you with a natural-looking flush. They contain finely-milled glitter particles that create a reflective highlight. If you're looking to appear sun-kissed all year-round, try one of these formulas, ahead.
