Whether or not you consider yourself a "classics nerd," you've probably found yourself swept up in Wuthering Heights fever following the premiere of the steamy film starring Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie. Director Emerald Fennell's take might not be the most faithful to Emily Brontë's seminal novel, but one thing's for sure: It—and its cast—looks damn good. From the fashion to the set dressings, the impact of the visuals can't be contested. And that includes the gorgeous glam featured on Robbie, who stars as Catherine Earnshaw.

Throughout the film, Robbie displays a romantic palette marked by rosy lips and a windswept flush. I'm obsessed with the latter—that is, cheeks that appear to have come straight from a walk on the moors—so I had to know what the movie's makeup artist, Pati Dubroff, used to achieve it. Luckily, I got my answer. Dubroff used none other than the N°1 de Chanel cheek and lip balm ($50) to capture Cathy's character in her complexion—free-spirited, passionate, burning with emotion.

As Dubroff told Byrdie, she mixed the shades Red Camellia and Berry Boost to create the perfect hue. And not just on screen. Apparently, she's also been using the Chanel product on Robbie for the film's global press tour, so if you've been admiring the star's red carpet looks as much as I have, take note.

The $50 two-in-one can be used on both the cheeks and lips, with a creamy formula that's meant to melt into skin like butter. It's also enriched with red camellia oil to help nourish the area while leaving a slick of vibrant color behind.

Dubroff applied the cream color to the apples of the cheeks and used a brush to diffuse the deep shades for a more natural glow. Although when it comes to blush balms, you can always just dab it on with your fingers. Either way, you'll be in for a cinematic finish with a touch of Brontë drama if you want to give Cathy's go-to blush a try. (I know I certainly do.)
