The best way to choose
blush is to use nature as your guide. According to InStyle the trick is to use
the colour that matches your cheeks when they're flushed after exercise or
being out in the cold. If you still not sure the best thing to do is ask
someone at the makeup counter. It depends on your skin tone whether you will
need a light or darker colour.
You need to choose a colour that will accent your existing best
facial feature and one that won’t stand out too much, but rather act as a
feature enhancer.
Creme blush hydates
and flatters dry skin Powder blush for oily and combination skin.
Liquid and gel blush
which is also suitable for oily and combimation skin.
In addition to choosing the correct the correct colour, you also
need to choose the correct formula. For dry
skin, crème blushes tend to be more hydrating and flattering. Oily/Combination skin powder blushes
work best as any other consistency can tend to slide off on oily skin and for
normal skin almost any blush formula works including liquid and gel formulas.
Also make sure you have the correct brush for blush. A blush brush
is different from a powder brush as it has more bristles and is smaller in
size. You can however use them both, the blush brush for more powder coverage
and the powder brush for a lighter coverage or colour.
Once you have your blush, next step is applying the blush. Which
is also a quite tricky as many women get it wrong. Here is how to apply blush
correctly:
Smile until you cheeks perk up, apply the blush to the centre of
the apple of your cheeks, blend the colour along your cheekbone. If you are
using gel, dot the colour using your fingers or a makeup sponge to blend it in.
For a more natural look always concentrate the colour on the apples of your
cheeks and blend well, before blending, always dust off the excess to
avoid excessively rosy cheeks.
And that is how you put on blush!
