Warm, sculpted, and effortlessly radiant—this season, the rust makeup look is all about enhancing your natural undertones while creating depth and dimension. By layering rust and beige makeup, including blushes, bronzers, and highlighters, you can achieve a bronzed glow makeup effect that feels both modern and timeless. With Laura Mercier’s Face Makeup Collection achieving this look is easier than ever.

Step 1 – Add a Natural Flush of Color

Bring your cheeks to life with a warm rust blush flush. Tinted Moisturizer Blush in Croisette or French Riviera with give you a creamy, dewy finish. Using your fingertips, gently dab onto the apples of your cheeks and sweep upward for a lifted, radiant effect. Explore the full Blush Makeup Collection to find your perfect shade and achieve a natural, warm radiance.

Step 2 – Sculpt and Bronze with Depth

Time to warm up the complexion and add natural contour (or so they'll think) with soft bronzing. Sculpting with Bronze Color Infusion will give you a radiant soft kiss of color that mimics the skin's natural flush for effortless, sun-kissed makeup perfection.

If you prefer to continue with that dewy feel, apply Tinted Moisturizer Bronzer by dispensing a small amount onto the back of your hand then applying to your cheekbones using fingers or a brush. A little goes a long way, so apply small amounts at a time, blending into skin before product sets.

Step 3 – Blend for Seamless Warmth

Here’s the beauty secret: blending is everything. When applying your blush and bronzer, make sure there are no harsh lines, and that you blend your shades together with your fingertips or brush, depending on the products you select. The goal? A blended makeup look that still gives a radiant skin finish.

Step 4 – Illuminate with a Radiant Highlighter
