Duos Are Poised to Be Spring’s Biggest Blush Trend

Warmer weather is on the horizon which means just one thing—it’s time to start thinking about blush. The previous summers have crowned blush the staple makeup item for good reason. Whether you’re using just a dab on the apples of your cheeks or opting for a prominent flush, blush can completely transform your face. Only time will tell what all the new blush trends will be, but it’s clear that blush duos will play a starring role.

Unlike a traditional blush palate, these compact products feature two pans and have a major color payoff. If you haven’t tried one of these handy products yet, you’re in luck. There are several brands offering blush duos of all sorts. From cream and powder pairs to complementing colors, these are the best blush duo palates to try right now.
