Blush makeup warms with the heat of the body to an intense hue, use cosmetic facial blush powders sparingly while applying makeup for a healthy look.
Blushers are available in powder, cream or liquid and in a wide variety of tones. Liquid and cream blush should be applied before powder. Generally most women prefer to use a powder blush as it is much easier to apply.
How to Apply Blush
1. Apply foundation (and if necessary powder ) as normal. Smile - where your cheek is naturally at its fattest is where blusher needs to go to create a natural look.
2. Apply blusher in a small circle, blending well. For the best results, try gel blusher. Powder over the top.
3. It's important to keep your brushes clean, otherwise, they'll gather bacteria and transfer it onto your skin. This will inevitably cause spots and blackheads.
4. Use a full round brush for the application of your powder blush, as it will make for a softer and more professional look than the brush that comes with the blush. This should not be the same brush you use to apply your loose powder.
5. Never apply blush below the cheekbones. This tripe of color only creates an illusion that brings the face down and makes you look older.
6. Cream blush is great for mature skin. It blends easily & therefore looks very natural. For gel or cream blush, dab a dot on the apple of the cheek and two smaller dots up the cheekbone. Blend the dots together up to the hairline.
