Blush has to be the most misunderstood of beauty products. Many avoid using blush due to a fear of looking clown-like. For others, blush seems to be their drug of choice. Are you missing out on a youthful glow? Here are a few tips to take some of the mystery out of blush application.
As with the rest of your makeup, its all about having fun. Experiment with different products till you find what suits you best.
- Select shades to compliment your skin tone, such as peach or apricot. You can also take a hint from your lipstick shade. There's no need to match your blush to the fuchsia top you're wearing.
- Deep skin tones can opt for bronzing powder, for a sun-kissed glow.
- Less IS more. Begin with a light application, building up to the desired intensity. Its much easier to add more product than it is trying to remove excess.
- With a soft powder brush lightly apply to the cheekbones, blending toward the hairline.
- Ok, so you went overboard with the blush application, blend a translucent powder over the blush to tone it down for a more natural finish.
- Blush should not go past the bottom of the nose. Applying blush too low ages you.
- Powder blusher is best for use on for oily/ combination skin types. If you have dry skin, cream blusher is worth a try.
