By now you're probably well aware that last summer was tomato girl summer. Red is still obviously the color of the season on the fashion front. But are you aware that it's also still strawberry girl summer? Well, at least according to Hailey Bieber.

The now-pregnant model made the declaration last year on Instagram. Her rosy cheeks seemed to imply that the term applies to makeup. Of course, it could also be promotional as the founder of Rhode dons a brand sticker as well. We prefer to embrace the makeup angle, however. Especially when it comes to blush.

Although, red blush is somewhat divisive. Mainly because it can be hard to find a formula that comes across as subtle. There are actually several options out there, though. You just have to know where to look. It's important to look for a red blush that's buildable and blends seamlessly. There may be a little trial and error involved in finding the perfect shade of red for your skin tone. But it's worth it. Just ask our strawberry girl summer sponsor.
