Put That Blush on Your Face!


Do you look pale or lifeless? Give your face a color boost with the cheek blusher. After applying your base makeup, foundation, apply blusher to your face. It easily brings colors to your face.
Though adding blusher is a simple step, do not overdo it. You do not want to look like an overly made up doll with excessive blusher. Go light on your hands.
Below, I shall touch on some tips to apply the blusher.
Tip 1
Choose a blush color that is closest to your skin tone or one that looks like your natural glow after you work out. Do not attempt to wear a blush which is too bright for your skin. You want that tinge of blush on your face to look natural, as if you are born with it, not as if you have painted your cheeks.
Tip 2
Dab your brush into the cheek color. Tap off any excess powder so that when you brush on, the color will be even.

Tip 3
Sweep the brush onto the apples of your cheeks in a wide "U" movement. If your apples aren't obvious, smile while you are brushing the color on.
Tip 4
Do not apply too much blusher or you will look like a clown. The key is to make the blush minimal yet obvious. The final effect should look natural as if you did not put any on.
Tip 5
If you intend to go heavy on your eye makeup, then keep the blush color as light as possible. If you apply heavy blush on top of a dramatic eye look, you will turn into a walking disaster. Sometimes, less is more.
