HOW & WHEN TO APPLY BLUSH….!?

Applying blush can add a healthy, natural-looking flush to your complexion. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to apply blush:

1. Choose the Right Blush:

• Select a blush shade that complements your skin tone. For fair skin, light pinks and peaches work well, while deeper skin tones can go for richer tones like corals, berries, or even deep reds.

2. Gather Your Tools:

• You’ll need a blush brush. A fluffy, angled brush is a popular choice for precise application.

3. Foundation and Concealer:

• Apply your foundation and concealer before applying blush to create an even base.

4. Find Your Cheekbones:

• Smile to locate the apples of your cheeks. The round, lifted part when you smile is where you want to focus the blush.

5. Apply Blush:

• Dip your brush into the blush, tapping off any excess.
• For a natural look, start by applying the blush to the apples of your cheeks with a light hand.
• If you prefer a more sculpted look, apply the blush slightly higher, along your cheekbones. To find your cheekbones, feel for the bone beneath your eyes and apply the blush just above it.

6. Blend:

• Use a clean makeup sponge or your fingertips to blend the blush into your skin for a seamless finish. Blending is crucial for a natural appearance.

7. Build Gradually:

• Blush can be built up in layers, so start with a small amount and add more if needed. It’s easier to add more than to remove excess.

8. Consider Your Face Shape:

• If you have a round face, you might want to apply blush slightly higher and blend towards your temples to create the illusion of higher cheekbones. For a longer face, focus on the apples of your cheeks.

9. Setting Powder:

• If you’ve applied cream blush, you might want to set it with a translucent setting powder. This step can help the blush last longer.

10. Check the Lighting:

• Always check your makeup in natural light to ensure that it looks well-blended and suits your skin tone.

Remember, makeup is an art, and there are no strict rules. Feel free to experiment and find the application technique that works best for your face shape and personal style.
