Picking The Right Blush and Applying It Correctly

Blush provides the face with warmth, depth, and an overall beautiful glow. It is important to apply the right amount because if not enough blush is used, your face may appear drawn. Too much can make you look overdone. Below are the types of blush you need to know about:

Bronzer

Powder Blush: This kind of blush is great for oily skin, but it works with all skin types. It is best used after powder has been applied to the face. Because of its density, this blush will last all day.

 

Liquid Blush: This type of blush can be applied over foundation or on bare skin. It is great for those wanting all-day coverage as most forms are oil-free. This blush works well with normal to oily skin.

 

Cream Blush: This kind of blush provides high pigmentation to the skin. Because this blush is usually blended with the fingers, it is important to apply only a small amount and blend well in small circles to avoid any lines. This blush is ideal for dry to normal skin because of its strong moisturizing components.

 

Bronzers: This type of blush truly compliments tan to dark skin tones. If you have fair skin, make sure you pick a light shade so you do not appear overdone. Bronzers work well to give a warm, sun-kissedlook to the face. You can also apply bronzer to the neck, shoulders, and chest to even out your look.

 

Women often ask what color blush they should use. The color of blush you use according to your skin tone is highly important. The wrong color can throw off your entire makeup application. If you have fair skin, stay in the peach to light pink color schemes. This will give you a healthy glow without giving a caked on appearance. If you have medium skin (olive undertones), you can maintain a beautiful look within the brownish pink to bronze color schemes. If you have dark skin, a bronze to deep red blush would blend beautifully to create a dramatized cheek bone.

 

Tip: Always apply blush starting from the apples of your cheek and angling upwards toward your temple. Stay on top of the cheek bone to give your face warmth. Use single, swift movements to achieve the right look. In the mirror, compare cheeks to attain symmetry. Remember, you can create an overall warm look by lightly brushing blush along your hairline, temples and jawline. Avoid heavy application of blush on the jawline as it can create an two-toned appearance between your face and neck.
