Blush is particular picky spot with me. Most people unfortunately apply it all wrong. They slather it on as if they were preparing to perform for Barnum & Bailey. There is nothing more garish than to see a well dressed and coiffed woman with improperly applied make-up. And I see it all the time. I would almost rather see none at all than to see a look completely ruined by too much blush. It makes me want to hand her a tissue and tell her that the tranny look is not appropriate for the office. Below are the instructions on how to properly apply blush. Please read them carefully and if it doesn’t apply to you print it off and give it to someone it does apply to. Why women will seek the help of a hair stylist and the help of a fashion stylist but never of a cosmetics stylist is beyond me. If you cannot afford to meet with a professional make-up consultant then buy magazines, look online, or just be observant of the most stylish women around you. There are many resources out there to learn the proper amount of make-up to wear for any event and the way to apply it for that complete and polished look.
Matte Natural Colors are Best ...
Blush is available in compact and cream forms and comes in three basic shades: peach, pink, or brown. Matte natural colors are best. Powder blush is the easiest to handle. Cream blush is best for dry skin because it contains oil that moisturizes your skin. The best way to apply blush is after the foundation application and must be blended perfectly to make sure the edges are subtly blended in. Pick your colors carefully and use a good brush since you want your blush application to look like a natural healthy glow.
How to Apply Blush on...
Blush has a tendency to darken with body heat, so make sure you apply blush sparingly. And always apply color cosmetics in natural light whenever possible so you know exactly what your make up will look like.
1. Find the apple of your cheek by smiling into a mirror. Choose a good blusher brush. Then, pick up some blusher color with the brush and shake off the excess.
2. Apply blush by brushing the cheek color lightly over the apple of the cheek using short, up-and-down vertical strokes moving toward the top of your ear in a teardrop shape with the thinner part at the top and the wider part pointing toward your nose.
3. Blend into your foundation and at the hairline, with one soft horizontal motion on the top of the vertical strokes, without brushing any color onto the hair.
4. If it looks like you have too much blusher. Apply blush by dusting cheeks with powder to tone down the color.
5. If you still feel that you need a little more color on your face, you can add a little blush across your forehead by brushing a very slight coat of cheek color just above the eyebrows.
Proper Way to Choose Right Blusher Colors...
You need to choose blusher colors from either the warm or cool palette, depending on the undertone of your skin. If you have a cool skin undertone you will want to apply blush colors that are cool such as pink or mauve. If you have a warm undertone you will be more comfortable with colors that have yellow or orange tones.
