Blush helps your pretty face become shining and attractive. Using this type of powder is quite simple but it is important that you do not use too much. This article will show you some tips for using blush.
A little blush on the face will help brighten the whole face, making it very lively. But if you apply too much blush or violate some rules for applying blush, your face will look like a “clown”, causing an unnatural look to your face and losing sympathy with the other person. Let us help you have the most beautiful and natural blush!
Can I use lipstick instead of blush?
This is a very familiar trick to girls. In an emergency like going to meet “that person”, or having a pale, lifeless face but not bringing blush, there is a very quick and effective way to use lipstick instead. For blush, you just need to dab a little lipstick on your cheekbones, then use your hands to spread it around and your face will be naturally rosy. However, some lipsticks are quite dark or have shimmer, so please pay attention before using.
Use blush to cover acne and dark spots
As mentioned above, you should have a perfect foundation before applying blush. But if you know how to use it properly, you can absolutely use blush even when your cheeks are “spotted” with acne, scars, and dark spots. Before applying blush, you should apply a layer of opaque white powder on your cheeks. Then, if the bruise on the cheek is purple or brown, you should choose blush with a light brown tone. And brown blush will help you cover up red pimples on your cheekbones in the most skillful way.
You should limit shimmer powders
Glitter powder will be most effective at evening parties or places with lights and you want to stand out. But if you use shimmer powder for daily makeup, this is a big no-no. Blush that contains too much shimmer or glitter will make your skin look dull. Therefore, matte blush is a very suitable choice, especially for those with oily skin.
Apply blush according to the face sticker
This is an extremely important rule that you must remember. Like contouring, every face has its own blush makeup to accentuate the best features of the face. You may not believe it, but actually just a little blush can make your face slimmer, more attractive, and more alive. Depending on each face, there is a unique way to use blush.
If you have a round face and want your face to become slimmer, the most suitable way to apply blush is to apply powder from the highest part of the cheekbones, applying powder along the cheekbones and upward. Upward cheek color will help your face look longer.
If you want a small, plump face, you should rotate the brush head in a circle to apply powder, starting from the center of the cheekbones and blending along the cheekbones, straight behind the ears. For small, bony faces, you should choose bright blush and press a little shimmer on the cheekbones.
And if you have a very long face and want it to be shorter, you should apply the powder from the cheekbones towards the temples, slightly over the eyelids and chin. When your eyelids, cheeks, and chin are the same shade, your face will look shorter.
For women with square faces who want their facial features to become more harmonious and elegant, they should apply a thin layer on the cheekbones and gradually darken towards the hollows of the cheeks. Then gently glide the brush around your temples to create a blurred contour that blurs the edges.
Finally, for girls with thin faces or low cheekbones who want to make their face sharper and highlight their cheekbones, experts recommend choosing bright pink or pastel pink tones, with shimmer. to create a fresh look and highlight for the face.
