  • Salma Hayek stunned with a glowing makeup look at the 2023 Golden Globes.

  • Her makeup artist Mary Philips shared the exact blush she used to create “luminosity,” Charlotte Tilbury’s Cheek to Chic Blush in shade “Love Glow.”

  • Reviewers love the blush too, and it comes in six different hues.


Salma Hayek never disappoints with her red carpet looks—the 2023 Golden Globes was certainly no exception. The 56-year-old Puss in Boots: The Last Wish star, who was a presenter at this year’s awards show, brought the glamour to the red carpet with a glittery, crystal-embroidered gold Gucci gown. And while it may have been her dress that first turned heads, her rosey makeup look stole the show. The secret to her glow? The Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic Blush in the shade “Love Glow.”

Hayek looked radiant with a sparkly eye, winged eyeliner, and pink lips—but it was the subtle wash of blush on her cheeks that offered up timeless romance. Lucky for us, Hayek’s makeup artist, Mary Philips, shared the inspiration behind Hayek’s radiance.

“The inspiration tonight was luminosity—with a hint of rose,” Philips shared in a statement, per InStyle.

It’s not the first time Hayek has used this very blush, either—the actress also sported the Charlotte Tilbury product at the 2022 Golden Globes, meaning it’s one of her go-to picks for her many glamorous red carpet looks. It’s easy to see why: Coming in a two-tone powder form, the Cheek to Chic Blush is richly pigmented for long-lasting wear and uses Light Flex Technology to “capture and reflect light for a glowing complexion,” according to the brand.

The blush has stellar reviews everywhere it’s sold, too—including Sephora and Nordstrom. Reviewers especially love that it gives a natural flush to the cheeks and that the shades are easily buildable. Plus, the blush comes in a total of nine different shades, from a subtle peach to a deeper berry-rose color.

“They have the perfect amount of shimmer to keep blush from looking flat, so it looks like you’re actually glowing—not glittery. This gives such a natural flush that is also long-lasting,” one reviewer raves. “This product glides on so smoothly! I love that it’s buildable without creating dryness or creasing to skin’s texture,” writes another user.

And this isn’t the only product from Charlotte Tilbury that Hayek loves—in fact, the actress is close personal friends with the famous makeup artist. As Tilbury previously revealed to Vogue, Hayek has used plenty of products from the brand including the Magic Cream, the Airbrush Flawless Foundation, and the Magic Away Concealer. Plus, Tilbury even named a lipstick shade after Hayek—the Hot Lips lipstick in the shade “Secret Salma.”

We’re definitely stocking up on all of these essentials from Charlotte Tilbury—including Hayek’s go-to blush—for the new year!
