Going into Wuthering Heights, I thought I’d leave the theater replaying visions of the gorgeous cinematography, fantasizing about the stunning costumes, or daydreaming about my own toxic love story with a 6’5” Victorian hunk. But shockingly, the image that lingered in my mind—even a week after seeing the new take on Wuthering Heights—was Margot Robbie’s blush.
I’m no stranger to blush blindness. I’ve tried every viral blush trend—from boyfriend blush to sky-high temple placement to bright reds. But nothing has struck me quite like the realistic, flushed-from-within look that graces Cathy’s cheeks in every scene. Coined “Brontë blush” by the internet (because is it even a trend without a cutesy name?), we have the details on exactly how to recreate the look from Siân Miller, the Wuthering Heights hair and makeup designer.
How to recreate Margot Robbie’s Wuthering Heights blush look
If it were me, Jacob Elordi’s presence alone would leave me with all the blush I need—but Miller used a range of products on Margot Robbie to achieve that authentically flushed look. In an interview with Allure, she described flushed cheeks as their own character in the film. As the story moves from the Grange to Wuthering Heights, Cathy’s blush evolves too. Miller places the blush much lower on the cheek than TikTok’s “snatched” blush techniques. Her technique gives Cathy a windswept look, reflecting how deeply she’s affected by the tension throughout the film.
When Cathy is at the Grange, Miller used Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in the shades Hope and Happy, along with Merit Flush Balm in Après and Postmodern and Pat McGrath Labs Divine Cream Blush. At Wuthering Heights, No.1 de Chanel Lip and Cheek Balm in Berry Boost becomes the star of the show. And if you’re experiencing sticker shock at $50 for a blush, you’ll be happy to know the lip product used for her looks is much more affordable: the $4.99 Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Rose.
