Blush application

Blush makeup is considered as main part of makeup because in all the parts of makeup, blush makeup gives you a natural look and all the appearance which you get from the blush makeup produces an impression in your look. Therefore the correct matching of blush makeup according to your skin color is the main factor to make you beautiful. Some tips can help you to apply the blush makeup if you follow them.

  1. Shimmer can give you an attractive look if you apply it carefully on the bones of your cheeks near your eyes. It produces a natural shine and gives a beautiful complexion to your face.
  2. Choose the absolutely correct color for blushing because all your makeup and natural look depends upon the correct color. Apply it slightly and make it a little dark to get a natural look.
  3. The brushes which you use to apply the blush makeup should be neat and clean because the dirty brush can cause a viral or bacterial infection. Before changing the color of blush makeup, firstly wash your brush.
  4. If you are applying the liquid blush then rub it slightly on your skin otherwise your skin will turn into red appearance and you can lose all the impression.
  5. Mix a little quantity of cream, lotion or gel into your blush makeup if you are applying the powder form blush and you have the dry skin. It will increase the capacity of binding the blush layer on your skin.
  6. You can also use the cream blush on your lips if you have dark color lips because in this way your face will become more natural.
  7. Always care one thing when you apply the blush makeup that make your ears matching with the face color and see your chin that don’t apply the blush on the chin if you have a light color neck as compared with the face.
  8. Gel and liquid blush are useful for dry skin because they are absorbed in the dry skin as compared to the powder blush for a long time. If you apply liquid forms then wash your face before sleeping.
  9. Your blush makeup should be dark on upper side of your face near the eyes as compared to the lower side.
  10. Look your face into the mirror and try to make it as wider as you can make using the correct techniques of applying the blush makeup because as it will look wider and broader as you will get a natural attractive complexion.
  11. Apply blush on your neck if there is a big difference in the color of face and neck. Don’t try to make both colors same. There should be a very little difference between both colors because it is the identity of natural look.
  12. Apply the brush in round shape on your face when you apply the blush makeup because it will give you perfect and impressive appearance but if you are applying the powder blush then apply it only in one direction.
    In the end see your face in mirror and point out if there is a mistake and correct it otherwise you are ready for attending the party.

Re: Blush application

Where exactly do i have to apply? :bummer: I feel i always do it wrong:bummer:

i dont get the 7th point 7. Always care one thing when you apply the blush makeup that make your ears matching with the face color and see your chin that don’t apply the blush on the chin if you have a light color neck as compared with the face

i personally follow the o and e approach like if u want it in the hollow of ur cheeks(girls with round or full face) then say o n apply in the hollow n if u want it on the apples(those with slim/long face) then say e n apply on the apples :)

Sowiee I copied this from a blog.

You’re supposed to apply blusher on the apples of your cheecks. Some people smile whilst applying their blusher and some people suck in their cheeks.

google makupgeek, and look for her 'How to apply blush' tutorial.

Re: Blush application

I used to be scared of using blushes, for the simple reason that I would end up looking like a clown!

But thanks to YouTube, I am now starting to wear it confidently...it's amazing just how much of a difference a little blush can make to your look! :)

Re: Blush application

^^ Post some good videos.
I don't understand how people contour using blush. I have high cheekbones (well somewhat) but I don't know how to bring the shape of my cheeks out more.

Oh and I LOVE blush. What are some of your fav. girls? I love MAC blushes simply because they are good and affordable. No matter how much I want to get NARS, I keep going back to MAC.

Re: Blush application

How do you pick the right blush color?

Re: Blush application

I usually keep two or three blushes of each shade.. pink, brown, coral etc. I can use it according to what look I want. I LOVE bronzer as a blush!
How do I pick it.. test.. try on yourself.

Re: Blush application

Hmm..I'm not sure what color would be right for my skin tone.

Re: Blush application

there is this one i have from MAC that i absolutely love, and i use it on a daily basis. the days i need an extra oomph to my blush i just go over it with extra shimmer powder (even though it has shimmer) its called trace gold. i think that color is great for any desi skin tone. its neutral but can be played up really easily with extra shimmer or even going over it with some pink tone.

Re: Blush application

for the most part, i think your blush should match your lip shade.

if you are going with brownish/tan lips then go with golden/bronzy blush.

With maroon/red lips go with plum/spice colored blush.

and with pink lips go with floral/sheer colored blush. and if you dont do your lips, i would go with a soft bronze (like i mentioned above - trace gold by MAC)

Name??
I am getting some new blushes tomorrow. I'll like to try the one you mentioned.

Re: Blush application

its called Trace Gold..its amazing. I also like their shimmer mineral skinfinish..try to get it in Gold Deposit if its available...that can actually be used as a blush all by itself, or for added shimmer (all these are by MAC)
