I've been lusting after Carrie Bradshaw's wardrobe (and shoes, and makeup and apartment) for the better part of my life, so I obviously took notice when Sarah Jessica Parker's makeup artist Elaine Offers Woulard shared a few of her go-to products for achieving Carrie's totally ageless glow on And Just Like That.... In an Instagram post from the set of AJLT, which is currently filming for season three, Woulard revealed that she's been using Merit's Flush Balm blush on Parker in shade Cheeky since the very first season to give her character that glowy, yet natural look that truly captures her inner joie de vivre. Even better? The $30 blush is now 20 percent off during Merit Beauty’s *only* sale of the year—alongside everything else from the beloved French beauty brand—now through Dec. 2. Plus, every order comes with a free limited edition Mini Signature Bag! And if you’re willing to risk it and wait until Cyber Monday (you never know if things might sell out), you can score a free Flush Balm in Mood with any order over $100.
As it happens, the creamy blush is a longtime favorite of multiple PureWow editors, who rave about its lightweight, buildable formula that you can easily adjust to suit your skin tone. Former Commerce Editor Olivia Dubyak lists it among her dewy summer beauty essentials, while Wellness Director Sarah Stiefvater owns the product in two hues and calls it "totally foolproof" when it comes to application. Obviously, it also has quite the cult following on TikTok, where it has gotten a stamp of approval from beauty gurus like @juliexwong, who shows the Flush Balm in action in the video below.
