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.

Why Do I Blush For No Reason?

You may think that you are the only one with excessive facial blushing (going red), but you're not. Many people experience this embarrassing and socially painful reaction. It tends to come in waves. People who are prone to this form of social anxiety may find themselves blushing in reaction to something as simple as making eye contact. Most of the time, the symptom is triggered by a super-fast thought that you may not even realize you are having. The thought goes something like this: "I hope I don't blush," or, "This is the kind of situation where I've been blushing for no reason lately," or, "This would be a terrible moment to start blushing."
Fortunately, the blushing problem can be resolved. It does not require medication or surgery, but it does require some sweat and effort. There are several steps involved in getting the excessive blushing reaction to go into remission. First, you need to become less "freaked out" by the symptom. A good way to do this is to realize that blushing is an anxiety reaction to the fear of humiliation or embarrassment. Having excessive blushing means you are a socially aware person, which is a good thing. Blushing itself is perfectly normal (just not blushing at the thought of blushing).
The next step after self-acceptance is to learn what specific thought triggers you have. It's not that difficult to uncover if you pay close attention. All you need to do is purposefully analyze all the situations where you blush and put them on paper, in order, from least to most likely to trigger a blushing response. Next, analyze the list to learn what components must be present for you to blush. For example, is it worse with authority figures like a boss or a teacher? Is it only there when you are romantically attracted to the other person? Is it only there when it would look bad to blush (for example when someone asks who left the door unlocked in a meeting and you blush at the thought that others will think it was you if you blush at that moment)? Analyze carefully to learn what triggers the anxiety.

Once you have a sense for the things that make you anxious about a potential blush, you need to figure out how to control your blushing by controlling the anxiety. It never works the other way around. Trying to control the blush is actually what has made it as bad as it is now. The only way to control blushing is to go directly to work on the anxiety that triggers this autonomic anxiety response (autonomic means your brain and nervous system cause the reaction outside of your conscious control).
How do you control the anxiety? You correct your thoughts about the sources of anxiety you identified earlier. For example, if I blush in front of attractive women, I may design a response to my fear of making a fool of myself by blushing. A good response to reduce that particular source of anxiety would be to say to myself, "I will not offend anyone by blushing. I accept myself as a person who is about to blush, and I will just make fun of myself and make light of the reaction if someone points it out."
If you are unable to "believe in" this kind of helpful, anxiety-reducing statement to yourself, or if you cannot come up with one, you may need the support of a psychologist in training your mind to react with calming, self-accepting thoughts. You can also pursue the self-help resources out there first, to see if you can learn how to control your thoughts better by yourself, before paying hundreds of dollars to a mental health professional. It takes about three weeks to really eliminate blushing as you gradually start addressing the anxiety instead of trying to control the blushing. It requires practice where you purposefully face the situations where your old anxiety just kept getting stronger. Believe me when I tell you that it is worth the pain and embarrassment necessary to cure this problem. I have talked many people through the process and none of them has ever said that they wish they had never done the difficult work necessary to beat this painful social anxiety symptom.

How to Choose and Apply Blush

Applied correctly the right blush can make you look young, energized and glowy and provide contour and shape to the face. If applied incorrectly and/or in the wrong shade it can make you look garrish and clown-like and can even make you look older.
Achieving a nice flattering application of blush begins with the right color for your skin tone and type, and correct application technique.
When choosing a shade of blush it is important to be familiar with undertones in your skin and also in the makeup you choose. Undertones are classified as cool, warm or neutral. Cool undertones are charactarized by shades of pinks and blues. Warm undertones are characterized by shades of yellows and oranges. Neutral undertones are charactarized by a balance of both warm and cool.
If after reading this, you are still unsure what undertone you classify ask a makeup artist at your local department or beauty store. This is their job and they are usually happy to help.
Now that you know your skin undertone choose a complementary shade of blush. Pick a blush with the same undertones as your skin. Warm shades will be nge, yellow and brown-based. Cool shades will be beige, pink and blue-based. If you are neutral undertone you can usually get away with wearing warm or cool toned shades.
If you come across a shade and you are unsure if it would be classified as warm or cool ask a sales associate what they think or try the shade on. Even if you are unsure a sales associate will be able to tell you if the shade is flattering on your skin. And if it is not, she will most likely suggest a different shade that is flattering. Below are some suggestions of shades for each undertone
Warm
Nars blush in Madly
Mark Instant Blush Tint in Cheeky Pommette
Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in Peach Satin
Cool
Tarte Cheek Stain in Blushing Bride
e.l.f. Studio Blush in Berry Merry
NYX Powder Blush in Raisin
Aside from the shade, the formula is also an important factor in choosing a blush. There are several formulas available these days from old fashioned powder, to cream, to stains and gels. Here is a quick guide to choosing a formula:
*Powder-great for all skin types, but especially oily skin. They can be highly pigmented and come in a range of finishes such as matte, shimmer and frost. They tend not to last as long as other formulas, but can be easily reapplied throughout the day.
*Cream- excellent for dry and mature skin. Most cream formulas give a dewy/glowy effect to the skin but that can be toned down with a translucent powder if not the desired effect. These tend to look more natural than other formulas. Not the best choice for oily or problem skin as cream blush may contain oils or other emollient ingredients that may cause this product to break down and wear off more quickly on oily skin. Different brands offer different formulas so check the ingredients to be sure.
*Stain- Work well for just about all skin types. Stains tend to be thin and somewhat runny and must be blended into the skin quickly because they really do "stain" the skin. They leave a translucent tinge of color and usually last all day with no touchups. For better blendability moisturize before applying.
*Gels- Last like a stain but blend more easily because the formula is more emollient. Must be blended into the skin fairly quickly to avoid uneven application. Good for all skin types.
Smiling while applying helps you find the apples of the cheeks. The apples of the cheeks are the area just under your eyes where you would naturally flush when excited, happy, or active. When you smile, the apples sort of "ball up" and become more prominent, making it easier to apply. Apply your blush starting at the apples of the cheeks and blend out towards hairline. The color should be most intense on the middle of the apples of the cheeks, and then should gradually fade out below the temple. Start with very little blush then add more until you have the desired intensity.
Tip: many blushes darken on the skin after about an hour of wear. This happens as the blush mixes with your skin's oils and other products on your face such as foundation. Keep this in mind when applying a blush for the first time.
If you apply too much blush or the lines look too harsh, take a clean fluffy brush such as a kabuki or a large powder brush. Swirl the brush in some translucent powder and vigorously buff over the apples of the cheeks and cheekbones. This will help to fade out any harsh lines and lighten the intensity of the blush.
For Cream, stain and gel formula blushes, use your fingertips to blend the product onto the apples of the cheeks and blend out toward hairline. If you prefer to use an applicator of some sort, try a synthetic foundation brush or a slightly dampened cosmetic wedge. A powder blush can be applied over cream or stain blushes to help set it or create a more dramatic effect. For an extra glow, apply a shimmery highlighter on the cheekbones above the apples of the cheeks. Set the entire application with a swipe of translucent powder.

What's New in 2010 - Fall Fashion Trends

As tan lines fade and evenings turn cool, fresh summer styles make way for the warm, cozy fashions of the fall.
The colours of autumn are so gorgeous; warm caramels, butterscotches, creams and olives. A veritable buffet of sophisticated options - and a few statement pieces will bring your wardrobe from last year up to date. By investing in some new basics season to season, you keep your look current and fresh.
So, what's the most basic basic of all? Jeans, of course! Cuts and colours change subtly every season, and it's worth it to invest in at least one pair that's trendy this fall. Skinny jeans are still going strong, but with a twist this time. Pairing peg-leg denims with closed-toed heels is a stylish update to this 80's silhouette. Dark wash goes from day to evening effortlessly. Are you brave enough to try a patterned skinny jean? Florals, stripes and dots all punch up this essential and turn it into a real statement. Leggings are still around this season, but try branching out from basic black! Wear royal blue or purple leggings with a military-inspired jacket or underneath a denim mini.

Speaking of military-inspired, it's one of the most important fall fashion trends. Anoraks, vests, crisp shirts and canvas skirts in classic khaki, drab olive and beige all look fabulous when worn with a kick of colour. Keep the look girly with bangles or a statement necklace. Military tailored shirts also look great in limpid silks and cottons. Worn with distressed jeans and flats the look is feminine and on trend. Add a cadet cap to a jeans and t-shirt outfit for an instant update, or pin a medal on a denim jacket. Little touches allow you to reference a trend without going overboard.
For a cozy fall look nothing beats a sweater dress. In a thin or chunky knit, the look is always classic. Wear one over skinny jeans, leggings or even fine wool pants. Sweater dresses look best in the neutral fall palate - cream, browns and grays. Look for a high neck or short sleeves for a style update this season. If you're daring, try one with knee socks! Although the sweater dress is a timeless piece it can easily be made flirty and fun with high boots, a long necklace and a bright bag.
Sick of trying to cram everything in a tiny purse? Good news! Big bags are back this year, and they are fabulous. Grab one in a vivid colour and use it as a carryall. Red and bright yellow are favourites this year and look terrific with autumn neutrals.
Fall fashion trends are fun - try a few on for size! Remember, you can never go wrong with a classic look punched up with some statement pieces. Don't be a fashion victim! Express yourself through what you choose to wear, don't let the clothes define you. If you don't feel great in an outfit, it's not the right look. Luckily there are lots of different styles to choose from this season. One - or many - will be perfect for you.

Matching Your Hairstyle to Your Wedding Gown

The perfect bridal gown deserves the perfect accessories, and that includes your hairstyle. With more necklines than ever available these days, it is easy for brides to get confused about which hairdos work best with which wedding gowns. This is an easy guide to help you match your hairstyle to your wedding gown for an unbeatable look.

One shoulder wedding dresses have become very popular in the last few seasons, and this very unique neckline calls for a carefully crafted wedding hairstyle. After all, if you wear your hair down over your shoulders, you will end up obscuring the one shoulder detail that makes the gown special in the first place. Hair should definitely be pulled off your neck when wearing a one shoulder bridal gown. A beautiful way to complement the asymmetrical neckline is with a soft chignon which is pulled off center to the opposite side of the single shoulder strap. It creates a pleasing visual balance to the gown and also ensures that your hairstyle will not hide the cut of the dress. Keep your bridal hair jewelry simple and modern with this style; a beautiful crystal brooch tucked into the chignon will be perfect.
Strapless gowns remain popular, and the openness of the neckline creates its own needs when it comes to a wedding hairdo. Soft waves cascading down over your shoulders will help to break up all that empty space and add a bit more coverage, especially for the wedding ceremony. For a more formal wedding, an updo piled high on the top of the head can also work well with strapless. Just be sure to wear a dramatic necklace to fill in the empty area between your bodice and chin, otherwise you will look naked in any close up pictures! A veil will also help to soften the look, and is always lovely for a formal wedding ceremony. Select bridal hair jewelry which complements the details on your strapless gown, as well as your necklace and earrings.
The traditional illusion neckline is a very demure and sweet style of bridal gown. A sheer fabric covers the shoulders, and adds a special detail to what otherwise could have been a standard strapless neckline. Some illusion dresses feature beading on the sheer portion, which will sparkle delicately over the skin. The perfect hairstyle for this gown can be a half up, half down 'do. It will allow the illusion neckline to show, while enhancing the feminine style of the dress. Of course, you don't want your hair to cover any details on your gown, so if your illusion bodice features beading, pull all of your hair up into a classic twist. A delicate double headband with crystal or pearl accents is an elegant accompaniment to an illusion gown.
Portrait neckline or off the shoulder wedding gowns are defined by the way they show off the bride's graceful shoulders. Therefore, it is a given that the wedding hairdo should lift the bride's hair up to allow her shoulders to show. A low braided bun or a faux bob (in which hair is pinned up very loosely) is a lovely style to wear with a portrait neckline bridal gown. The soft styles are not too severe and they will help to enhance the beautifully cut neckline of the dress. A cluster of hairpins tucked into the bun is the ideal bridal hair jewelry for this elegant wedding hairstyle.
In general, seek a wedding hairstyle which suits the style of your gown as well as the shape of the neckline. If your gown has a woodsy bohemian flavor, then a loose side braid would make sense, just as a sharp bob would be fantastic with a 1920s flapper inspired dress. When the wedding gown, hairstyle, and accessories all work together in harmony, the results will be nothing short of stunning!

One can see that one of the most special features of this dechroic glass rings are that it is made of a lot of colors making it to display so many colors while wearing them.

The manufacture of dichroic glass into its thickness is due to the treatment of oxides and silicones.

The ones that are most preferred are the rings amongst the necklaces bracelets and anklets as most of the people love to sport jewelry made of dichroic glass.

Testimonials on Permanent Makeup

Testimonials on Permanent Makeup
I first thought about getting permanent eyeliner because I had problems with getting it on and getting it to stay on. I was very nervous about having something 'permanent' done. But I went ahead and looked into it. I went on line and found several web sites on permanent make up. Nancy's web site was the best I saw, she had a lot of before and after photos, and several great credentials listed. I called Nancy and she was very informative and I could tell she knew what she was talking about. Nancy made me feel comfortable with my decision to get permanent eyeliner. (She told me I would love it, and I do!)
I loved her work and the way she worked so much that I wanted to get my lips colored. Nancy helped me to decide on a good lip color for my skin and now I don't even need to wear lipstick! Nancy again did an awesome job!
Well there was only one thing left, my brows. I was a bit nervous about having my brows done, but I trusted Nancy's work. I now have my brows done, and of course they look great.
I can't say enough about how happy I am with all three procedures, and the way Nancy spends her time to do it right and how you like it. I am constantly bragging to everyone about Nancy and how much I love my permanent make up! I would recommend Nancy for permanent make up to anyone who wants to look good all the time!

I love my new permanent makeup. I now have the choice of not having to add makeup if I don't feel like it. I was always so self conscience about having no brows (plucked them out when I was a teenager and they never grew back). The eyeliner enhanced my eyes and makes my eyes look so natural. I actually feel younger and look younger!
Nancy is very patient and stops very often during the procedure so you can see how it's coming along. She is very conscientious about having everything clean and sterile. Initially there is a little discomfort but it goes away after the topical is applied. She is thorough when explaining the procedure so you know what she will be doing and it makes you feel more at ease.

When I set out to produce a show about spa living, I knew one of the segments would have to be about permanent make-up. I scoured the Web and found a plethora of artists...especially in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas. I decided I would choose an artist by using a single criterion: Who would I choose to work on me? When I found alwayslookyourbest.com, I was impressed with the professionalism portrayed through the site. The "before and after" pictures were believable. The explanations were understandable. And mostly, Nancy's credentials were impressive. After speaking on the phone, I knew I had the right person for the segment. On the day of the shoot, Nancy and her subject showed up early and prepared. She was accommodating and professional. The segment went perfectly, shot in only one take. And perhaps most importantly, the procedure Nancy performed looked great!

Looks great!! This is the only way to describe the transformation from no color and constant daily attention of applying eyeliner. I LOVE THE RESULTS!! The process was time efficient and relatively painless. Nancy was very cautious about the delicate area of the eyes. She constantly asked if I was feeling any discomfort. Have recommended several friends and business associates to her. Like some many things, I wish I had done this years ago. My only regret is that I can't give blood for one year. The American Red Cross still has a rule on tattoo's. Somehow the medical reasons for permanent makeup and tattoo's on the rest of the body do not equate in my mind. Nancy's business is conducted in an office environment with the cleanliness of any medical facility. Don't hesitate to have permanent make-up!!

My name is Pamela, a 44-year old resident of Long Beach, who contacted Nancy LaTouche in late 2002 to solicit her help in trying to reverse facial scars created by a dermabrasion surgery. Having paid thousands of dollars for dermabrasion surgery to improve my skin, and ending up with horrific, indented scars, you can imagine my outrage and depression as I labored to find solutions to this unexpected debacle. The doctor who scarred me was of no help, in fact, he refused to even address the matter with me. Hence, I was left to my own devices to try and find scar revision techniques.
One such technique is that of "needling", wherein the scar tissue is "needled" numerous times with the type of small needles used in permanent makeup artistry. In researching this technique, I found Nancy's website on line, and was immediately impressed by her thoroughness and professionalism. I called Nancy to explain my situation, and was humbled by her compassionate response and willingness to devote her time and expertise in trying to help me. Nancy explained that she had not, personally, performed needling (in fact, most such professionals have not done so), yet she jumped in with both feet to research the matter, emailed knowledgeable contacts, and invested long hours in studying this matter.
We eventually met at her offices for a "test run" in needling several scars. Nancy had read up on numerous articles and documents about this technique, so as to be well versed in its application. She spent a good 2 hours meeting with me and performing the test run, all the while demonstrating the utmost in professionalism, care and concern. Despite her many hours devoted to my problem, Nancy charged me only a fraction of her usual fee. She has since been in touch regularly to check up on my healing and progress, and continues to offer leads into scar revision techniques for me.
I cannot say enough about the care, professionalism and expertise demonstrated by Nancy LaTouche, and feel blessed to have met this exceptional woman.

Stop Blushing Today With This 5 Step "Mind Detox"

Are you suffering from blushing attacks that end up losing your friends, your jobs and your overall happiness in life? If so, it's time to get to the root of the problem and identify one of the many ways to stop blushing that I can show you.
As an ex "sufferer" myself, I know the pain you are in right now. I also know that it's nearly impossible to explain to your blushing problem to anyone; purely because of the nature of blushing causes an uncomfortable feeling when talking to people...so talking to people about your blushing... well, that's like throwing petrol in a raging fire isn't it?!
But don't despair, because the following article is just one of my unique action plans you can take away and start learning to implement immediately! Print it out or bookmark this page so that you have a constant reminder of what you need to do in order to stop blushing. It's far easier with a plan, because a plan is what I used to resolve my own blushing problem over 2 years ago...

Step 1: Declutter Your Negative Junk Thoughts
You might have heard the old adage - "Cleanliness is close to godliness"? Well, whether you are a religious person or not, it's easy to see where this quote comes from. Just like when you have an office desk full of clutter, pens, paper, stationary and random files everywhere, you will have a really hard time getting on top of your work unless you file everything and make a plan of action to reduce your workload.
This is the same for your brain. The more "junk", particularly of the negative variety, that floats around your old grey matter all day, the less focused you will be on thinking positively and productively.
In order to declutter your brain, you need to do a few things in a systematic way:
1. Write down everything that is bothering you.
2. Write down everything you need to remember to do for the next three or four weeks
3. Write down anything you dislike about your life
Some people call this "brain dumping". It's a great exercise that can literally offload all the thoughts that clog your mind from thinking fresh and sharply (which is exactly what we need your brain to do in order to stop blushing and feeling anxious about everything all the time)

The next step is to remove the patterns BEHIND these thoughts. In other words, in order to prevent you brain automatically dumping further "junk" inside your mind, you need to cut the fuse that makes it do so. So how do we do this?
The reason the brain dumps junk into your head is partly because of the comments that you make about yourself, or to yourself. These have a great impact on your self confidence and self esteem. If you are thinking negative thoughts, it will lead to negative feelings about your situation and yourself. You may not realize it, but negative or self harming comments will always batter your self confidence. For people like yourself who cant stop blushing and see blushing as a real problem (which it can often be), then unless you cut the fuse to this pattern of thought, the more you will blush as a result of such thoughts and feelings.
Finally, you must forgive. But wait, what the hell am I talking about now?
Well the truth is, you might be surprised how much of a burden a grudge can become in our life. Maximizing motivation is impossible if you are a person who holds grudges. Forgiveness is very powerful in our life and in the life of the person we forgive. You might be shocked at the difference this little step of forgiveness can make in helping you move forward in life toward your goals.
Step 2: Establish your "clean space"

Think about your strengths and how you can take advantage of each of them, as well as your weaknesses and how you can improve upon them. Remember that weaknesses are extremely valuable indicators of obvious ways we can improve ourselves. Do not look at weaknesses and a bad thing, just as a natural sign and clear path to being better people. Do not let your ego get in the way of over inflating your strengths, nor in minimizing your weaknesses. Be honest with yourself and you will stand a better chance of nearing a blushing free life.
Next, you need to start thinking positively. Negative, pessimistic blushers are simply not motivated in life. A positive attitude is essential in exploding motivation and living a happy and fulfilled life that has no room or care for blushing. In fact, blushing is nearly impossible when you get these "ducks in a row".
There are too many things in anyone's life that are outside of our control. However, the most important thing in any situation IS completely controllable...how we perceive any given circumstance or situation. Thinking positively towards any situation or circumstance is critical to not getting down and anxious, and ultimately not reaching such a level of low self-esteem that blushing begins to creep up on you again.

Step 3: Confirm your new feelings of freshness
Now that your "dumping ground" is clutter free, and you have established a way to prevent your brain from cluttering again, it's time to reinforce your mental routines. Each day, you must reinstate how positive you feel and WHY you want to continue this feeling everyday.
The more reasons you give your sub-conscious mind to feel a certain way, the more likely it will automatically learn to program that feeling into your daily life. Just like bad experiences program the mind to feel bad for years after the event, good experiences (if actively imprinted onto the mind like this) will equally stay with you for as long as you want them to. In fact, if you imprint these positive feelings onto your sub-conscious mind every day, in just a few weeks time from now, you will find it virtually impossible to STOP feeling great about yourself.
The mind, particularly the sub-conscious part of it, is more powerful than you realize. For example, just look at the fact that you are seemingly blushing everyday without any control over it. What do you think is causing you to blush? That's right, it's your sub-conscious mind. If it can be that powerful on autopilot for negative thoughts...just imagine what it can do for your POSITIVE thoughts.

Step 4: Trust yourself to stay clean
One of the biggest keys to building self confidence and reduce your blushing problems is to believe in yourself. If you have trouble trying out something different or unfamiliar, it is not a bad thing to just stay safe with what you're already familiar with. This will help you feel more confident, and give you the assurance to go ahead onto something new.
By going into something new with a positive attitude and belief in your abilities, you will find it easier to be confident and indeed act more confidently. Over time, you will find that you will have increased the ability to move into new areas of your life, which means that your life is slowly but surely being filled to the brim with activities and situations that ultimately remove any time or energy for you to blush or feel any invalid feelings of self-doubt.
However, all of this requires some additional motivation.
Start writing down you goals, plans, and steps you need to take. You can even record daily about your feelings towards any particular circumstances you might have faced that particular day. Writing all of these things down and looking at them on a sheet of paper can have a tremendous influence on our creativity and ability to implement new ideas. Reviewing what you have written also allows you to easily track your progress.
Even remember to write down any recurring negatives, such as a particular time of day or situation that you blushed. If you can see a pattern to your blushing problem, you can spend the right amount of time and energy tackling that particular area. Additionally, by identifying patterns in your blushing episodes, we may be able to establish certain other factors that might be directly triggering your blushing attacks.

How to Apply Blush on Your Cheeks

For most women, applying foundation makeup, makeup blushes, lipstick and eyeliner on their face is a daily ritual. They would never dream of leaving their house without being properly made up. That would be like going out of the house without any clothes on! Makeup is as important to their face as shoes are to their feet.
What is Your Skin Tone?
Applying the correct blush means being aware of your skin tone and what color or shade will match it. It also means using the right brush and the correct brush stroke to apply your blush.
Aside from this, using the right shade of blush depends on the time of day and the color of your clothes. For example, it would not do to be wearing orange blush when you are wearing a fuchsia colored blouse! A light pink blush will also not do anything for your face if you are going to have an evening out, since it would hardly be seen.

Skin Tone Colors Tip
If you are struggling with finding your correct skin tone, why not consult the experts? Salespeople in beauty shops are familiar with different tones and the best shades of blush makeup to match your skin tone. You could also check with your beauty consultant (if you have one) and ask what shades would give your face the right warm glow.
Applying Blush
There are different ways of applying blush on the cheeks. It is done after you have applied foundation on your face. When you apply blush properly, you will help bring out the highlights of your face and bring out its radiance, no matter how ordinary or plain your face may be. The way you apply blush can be the decisive factor in bringing out your face's structural beauty. It can also add shape to a flat or long face, or make your face look less plump and on the narrow side.
Skin Type
Now to choose the right formula for your skin type. If your skin is oily or a combination, using a powder type of blush is best. Dry skin needs cream formula and oily skin alone will look great with liquid and gel. If you want, you can apply cream and then apply powder to make the blush last longer. Also, experts suggest that you use a professional full blush brush when applying it. Put blush on the brush and tap off any excess powder before brushing it on your cheeks.

Just remember, to apply blush properly, brush in one direction only. Just follow these tips and your blushing days will be problem free.

The Correct Way to Apply Blusherer Or Rouge

Make up is an important daily routine for most women. Updating your technique will give you that 'feel good' look. Use these tips on how to apply blusher so that the color remains throughout the day.
 
Selecting a flattering shade of blusher will give the best results. Before you start using blusherer, find a shade that suits you. People in the know say that the best blusher shade is one that matches your cheeks when you're looking a little flushed (like after exercising). Try pinching your cheeks to see what color they become! (A little weird, but it works!) So try to buy a shade that matches this and your lip color closely. A blusher which is rose in color is perfect for fairer skinned women. A peach-colored blusher is perfect if your complexion is olive. And if you have darker skin, choose red blusher.
 
Choose the correct kind of blusher. Once you have the right shade, you need to pick which type of blusher works best for you. Both powder and cream forms can be found. For oily skin, go with a powder blusher. If you have dry skin, using a cream blusher will add a fresher glow to your skin.
 
Timing is important when applying blush. Before you apply blusher, make sure that you have completed your base (foundation), eyes and lip color. Blusher should be applied right at the end of your makeup, second last only to a quick coat of powder.
 
Put blush on the right way. Ditch the tiny applicator that comes with your blusher and get use a big, professional brush to use instead. Be sure to have a separate brush for your powder and your blusher. Swirl the brush around a few times and knock tap off any extra. With a cream blusher, put a small amount, about the size of a pea, on your finger. So you know where to apply the blusher, give a big smile! This trick will make your cheek bones stand out and then apply it to the apple of the cheek. Keep it light, and blend in well after applying it. You can put powder on later if you have been too heavy handed, and with a cream blusher, you can also blot with a Kleenex.
 
Be aware that blusher is actually a stain, so it will color your skin. It will stay on your face until you clean it off with water. If you apply blusher correctly the first time you won't have to spend the time to do it again. Cleaning the brush is a good habit to get into - wipes work great for that. This will remove any bacteria and grime that could transfer to your skin when you apply blusher.
