I tried out the new cream blushers/ highlighters from Youngblood during London Fashion Week. With unanimous thumbs up from the other Makeup Artists on the shows, I can confirm that these are some of the best products in this category at the moment. I also used my favourite colour, Champagne Life, to highlight Agnes' cheekbones on Tuesday's shoot (opening photo). Put it this way: if we can be exempt from counting Champagne in units, let's make it part of our everyday lives!
