Applying Blush - How to apply blush?

There are two types of blush, powder and cream. I have used both and I have a preference for cream blush. Cream blush is a little harder to put on and it's also harder to find, but I seem to have better results with cream than I do with powder blush.

Both, powder and cream blush use basically the same technique as far as where the blush is to be applied. The only difference between the two is the method of application, the powder uses a brush and the cream uses two fingers.

Liquid and cream blush should be applied before powder. Generally most women prefer to use a powder blush as it is much easier to apply.

How to apply blush?

Apply blush on the ball of the cheek in a crescent shape. Blend outward out toward hairline. You will also need to find the apples of your cheeks. The easiest and quickest way is to just smile, your apples will become obvious.

To find the perfect color blush for your skin, look at your cheeks after you have exercised. That is what your natural blush color should look like.

If you're feeling particularly washed out, you can brush a light stroke of blush across your forehead up by your hairline or just above the brows where the sun would hit your face.

To soften blush apply some powder over your blush. In the evening you have a little more liberty and so you could go a bit heavier according to the look you wish to achieve.

Compact size blush brushes are too small and the bristles are not shaped properly. Use a good quality brush. Now, here is a little trick. Once you have your blush in place, take a cotton ball and blend until you have just a hint of natural looking color. Subtle is the key word here. No strips of color please.

Draw an imaginary horizontal line under your nose going all the way across your face. Now looking straight ahead into a mirror, draw another imaginary line, but this time the line will be vertical from your pupils down to the horizontal line that you drew under your nose. These two lines will form a right angle. Your concentration of blush color and blending will primarily be within this right angle. Do not go below the horizontal line with any of the color. If you need to go outside of the vertical line for blending purposed, then that may be ok depending on your facial shape. Wider faces can get away with, and this is a technique, blushing closer to the nose.

Apply blush until the color begins to show then stop...blend away the outside lines.
