As the moon climbed high over the palace, Shahrazad sat by her mirror, dabbing her cheeks with soft shades pulled from the desert sky—roses kissed by twilight, the coral glow of distant dunes, and the quiet warmth of starlit sands.

Each hue she wore told a tale—of love that lingered like a sunset, of courage that burned brighter than the sun, of a woman who charmed a king not with beauty alone, but with wit, wisdom, and heart.

With every sweep of color, she wrote another chapter—on her cheeks, a whisper of stories yet to be told. And so, even in silence, Shahrazad spoke… in blushes that carried the power of a thousand and one nights.

1. Begin with a Story in Mind:
Just as Shahrazad chose each tale to enchant, choose your blush shade based on the mood or time of day:

Rose and peach tones for daytime serenity

Warm bronze or dusty mauves for evening allure

Layered blends when you want to tell a more complex story

2. Prep Your Canvas:
Apply your base (foundation or tinted moisturizer) and set lightly with powder to ensure smooth blending.

3. Smile, like a secret’s about to be told:
With a soft brush, apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks, blending upward toward the temples — as if you’re tracing the path of a whispered tale.

4. Use the "Veil Technique."
Lightly dust any excess blush across the bridge of your nose and a touch on your chin. This creates a soft, sun-kissed storytelling glow — as if you’ve been basking in golden desert light.

5. Shahrazad's “Layer of Light”:
To deepen your tale:

Tap a lighter shade atop a deeper one for dimension.

Or blend blush with a touch of highlighter (like from your Radiant Glow Highlighter) for a radiant finish that catches the candlelight — or starlight.

6. Finish with Grace:
Mist with a setting spray and let your cheeks hold the warmth of your story.

✨ Shahrazad Tips:
"Blend two shades at once to create your own “tale” — layering payment just like she layered meaning. Try peach and mauve for a day-to-night transition."
