Blush Techniques For Different Face Shapes

How to Choose a Blush:

  • Pick a shade that matches your natural skin tone.
  • If you’re pale, try a soft pink color or even something with a little tan and pink in it.
  • Depending on your skin tone, you might need a lighter or a darker color. Dark skin needs a lighter color, whereas light skin may need a more natural color such as brown or tan.blush

  • To find where your apples are, look in the mirror and smile. Your apples will literally pop out like little golf balls.
  • Swirl the blush in circular motions directly on top of them.

Stippling (cream blush):stippling brush blush

  • Look for synthetic and natural bristles in two layers that are of different colors. A dark set that is dense and short are natural bristles and a lighter set that is long and sparse are synthetic bristles.
  • Swirl it from the apples across the cheek bones gently dipping in the cream blush.
  • If you apply light pressure, you will get a sheer finish. Apply more pressure for a satin finish.
  • Always be gentle with stippling brush. Make-Up-For-Ever-Blushing-Techniques-HD-Cream-Blush-whatmakesyoublush
