Apply Blush Perfectly To Your Face With These Simple Tricks – Part 1

In This Post, You Learn How To Apply Blush For Your Face Shape

Overlooking blush as an add-on that is of all the amazing beauty products out there is a rookie mistake. Your complexion can look healthier and make the skin look more youthful with just a few swipes of blush adding glow that the bronzer and highlighter that can’t mimic. Here it comes to be one of the most confusing makeup products to use as it is not as simple as a swirl on the cheeks. 

The worries amount to whether the blush won’t stay put, or you are using the wrong colour or formula or even just you don’t know where to start, here is all the help we are offering. It is possible to get a pretty long-lasting glow that is possible no matter in case the skin is naturally oily, dry, or just plain sweaty. It is possible these brilliant blush hacks can make the super flattering product work for the face shape, skin tone, and lifestyle. 

1. For The First, Prep Your Skin The Right Way

Always wash and moisturise your face first to make the blush blend into your skin and stay put all day. This is because dry or oily skin doesn’t always hold makeup as well and thereby keeping the skin healthy, exfoliated, clean, and supple allowing the makeup blend in beautifully and last longer. 

Start with a makeup primer to make the blush last even longer as it preps the skin giving a no-slip canvas helping makeup last all day and if you don’t want to invest in another beauty product, layer the blush on top of foundation or a tinted moisturiser thereby to even out the skin tone helping give the blush something to stick to. 

2. How To Pick A Shade That Works With Your Skin Tone

As blush doesn’t come as a one-size-fits-all kind of deal, choose the right shade to flatter the complexion as something too dark or too bright may age you instead of giving the warm youthful glow. Choosing something close to the natural flush is the key and the best way to figure out what that is to pinch your cheeks. Here are a few tips for finding the best shade if you are still not sure. 

For a very pale, fair skin, opt for light pinks for the pretty flush of colour that won’t overpower your tone. Giving a sheer wash of colour flattering the light complexion without looking garish are the pale pink and lilac formulas. 

In case you have light, medium skin choose the peachy pink shade giving your skin the pretty glow as the shade is universally flattering and in case of any doubt try it in the desired formula.

For those with golden or olive skin tones, the warm undertones to the skin are standing up to brighter, punchier pinks. 

For brighter hues with warm undertones, darker skin tones can experiment with bright apricot to deliver an ethereal glow and that is the truly radiant result. It buffs in to the skin for a natural look even as the shade seems bright. 

3. How To Find The Right Blush Formula For Your Skin Type

It is all about more than a shade while picking the right blush as you need to find the perfect formula too as there are three types of blushes: powders, creams, and stains. 

A cheek stain works well in case of oily skin as the stain looks dewy lasting for ages even if you tend to sweat or have oil-prone skin. The process is to apply a little at a time and once it sets into the skin it is hard to blend out. 

For normal or combination skin the creamy formulas are great with high staying power as the cream blush comes easy to use for most skin types that come in tons of colours giving the skin a fresh and youthful look.

In case of dry skin, stick with a powder formula as it is great for gliding over pores for a blurring effect and despite popular belief, the stains and creams aren’t so great for dry skin. When they dry, they can crack as it exacerbates the look of dryness. 

The fact is that makeup will only look as good as the tools you apply it with and according to Laramie Glen, a makeup artist based in NYC, in case you are going to spend money on any tools, then you better spend it on a blush brush. She further explains that it should be dense, natural, or vegan hair, soft, and easily able to diffuse the colour. Here you can have a tightly packed brush that can pick up too much product as also overload the face with colour whereas a loose brush picks up less product still offering a pretty colour payoff that is strong enough to make a difference. 

When applying, swirl the brush in the product and be sure to tap off any excess before applying it to the face so you don’t wind up with a big dab of colour on the cheek. 

5. How To Apply Blush According To Your Face Shape

Meant to strategically accent the face, blush means you need to take the bone structure into account before applying it in the first place. 

Heart-Shaped Faces: 

In case you have a long face with prominent cheekbones, and a narrow chin, it is likely you have a heart-shaped face. It helps when you apply blush in a C shape from the top of the temple, down to the cheekbone using more product along the cheekbone diffusing it up towards the temple pushing it in and upwards. Whereas you better not go overboard with the application as you ought to have the blended look since it is on more than just the cheeks according to Glen.
