Blush Makeup Tips

One of the easiest ways to get a healthy look is with blush -- unfortunately, it is often misused. Here is the correct and easy way to apply blush: First, start with a good quality blush brush. You can accentuate your face and cheeks naturally. Smile and you will see the fleshy part that stands out the most; this is the apple of your checks. This is your starting point for applying your blush. Apply a light layer of blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend up and back toward your hair line.



More Blush Makeup Tips:

• To find the perfect color blush for your skin, look at your cheeks after you have exercised. That is what your natural blush color should look like.

• Tap off the excess blush from your brush before applying to your face. Do not blow on the bristles or you will put bacteria from your mouth on to the brush. Compact size blush brushes are too small and the bristles are not shaped properly. Once again, use a good quality brush.

• For tan or dark skin, apply bronzing powder to cheeks in lieu of blusher.

• Use a medium-sized blush brush to avoid a striping affect.

• Try peach colored blush for a great sun-kissed look.

• If you don't wear foundation, try a liquid or cr่me blush.

• Use Q-tips to blend in any eye shadow that has fallen on your cheeks or face. Clean your make up brushes and applicators often to reduce bacteria and oil.

• To make your nose appear smaller, apply bronzing powder carefully down the sides. Add a little shimmer creme or powder down the bridge of your nose.

• Try bronzing powder underneath your cheeks and jawbone to make your face appear slimmer.

• Bring out your bone structure: Obvious contouring is outdated, but there’s a new way to use blush to enhance cheekbones like never before. Use a nude blush tone underneath your cheekbone. Start near your ear and stop about an inch and a half before your mouth. Sweep on the same color just under your jawline. Next, dust a small amount of your favorite blush color on the apples of your cheeks.
