Blush

Many people instantly stereotype blush as being old fashioned, but with the right shade and application, blush can create a beautiful, feminine look. Blush has often been called “the instant prettier” It can instantly help brighten up a dull complexion or give light to a tired looking face. Blush can create a beautiful and feminine look when it is the right color and it is applied in the proper way.

Choosing a Blush

Choosing the right shade of blush is critical to how it will look on the skin. Many times women choose blushes that are too light or too dark. For women that have very light skin, pick a very shimmery peach or light pink. Anything more than this will make you look like a clown. For medium skin tones, try warm peaches or warm pinks. If you have a very dark skin complexion, stay away from light blushes. To best compliment your natural beauty, try deep browns or deep pinks.

Applying Blush

One of the main mistakes women will make when applying blush is that they apply way too much. You will want to start by dipping a makeup brush into the blush and then tapping off the excess powder, this will prevent getting too much blush on the face. Start at the apples of the cheeks and apply upwards in long strokes. Apply only a few strokes. Try to restrain from using short strokes, this will make the blush appear uneven.
