People think it is so easy and simple to apply blush to our faces. Wrong. You dont just grave any shade of blush and use any brush and lap it randomly on your face. There are rules to these kinds of things. And I have the 10 Commandments to Blush.
1. Start out with a Flawless Foundation.
Use foundation first to even out your skin tone. Blush will stay put longer and look more natural.
2. Layer with a Bronzer.
Use a large, fluffy brush to apply bronzer in the shape of a 3 on each side of your face. ( forehead, cheeks, jawline) Then top with Blush for a natural-looking glow.
3. Pick the right Formula for your skin.
Have oily skin? Powder Blush will last longer. Have dry or aged skin? A Cream blush gives it a glowing finish. Those with Normal Skin can use either one.
4. Choose your Tools.
Dust on Powder Blush with a large brush with Tapered ends. It will deposit the color exactly where you want it. Dab Cream Blush on with your fingers or a wedged sponge.
5. Smile!!
Start by applying Blush to the Apples of your cheeks- the area that is most full and high when you smile. Blend up and back towards your Hairline.
6. Consider Contouring.
Playing with light and shadows on your face can shape its appearance. To soften a square face, dust blush or bronzer along your Jawline. To shorten a long face, apply some color to your temples. To make a round face thinner, sweep blush to the tops of the cheeks only.
7. Find the Right Color.
Pink or Coral warms up a pale face. Rose or apricot makes medium skin glow. And dusty brick reds or plums enhance darker skin tones.
8. Top with Powder.
A light dusting of sheer powder all over your face will help your blush last all day-and all night- long.
9. Finish with a kiss of Highlighter.
For Special nights out, accent your blush with a touch of highlighter along the very tops of your cheekbones. It picks up the light and looks super pretty in photos.
10. Complement with Lipstick.
Your Blush and lipstick dont have to match exactly, but they should be in the same color family for an overall flattering look.
Follow these Commandments and your makeup with look flawless everytime!
