Spanish term

con los rostros sonrojados

Spanish to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Literature.(Mythology)
I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from Latin American Spanish into American English.

Colleagues from Spain, feel free to send me your suggestions as well. This is a translation about Mythology.

Is okay to translate it as with the blushing faces? or with the flushed faces?

It's about the story of Theseus and the Minotaur.

I hope that all of you are healthy and safe from Covid19.

Here is the full paragraph for your review:

A la noche siguiente llegaron a Naxos, y seguros de que ningún peligro les acechaba bailaron la danza de la victoria. Los catorce atenienses marcaron los pasos orgullosos y comieron y bebieron hasta tarde con los rostros sonrojados a causa del fuego de la hogeras, el vino y el triunfo.
