Blush
Applying blush can be one of the more difficult makeup techniques to learn Blush creates the difference between a young healthy look and a swallow tired look Unfortunately applying too much or to the wrong area of your cheek instead transforms you into a clown Add to that the difficulty of finding the correct shade of blush and correct brush and youve got a makeup technique that takes practice and patience to conquer. You will want to select a blush that is close to the natural glow of your cheeks after exercise and you should keep your blush in the same color family as your lipstick Of course this isnt very helpful when youre staring at row after row of blush in the makeup store
To find the perfect blush youll want to first start with your skin depth If you have a darker skin you can wear a darker blush like burgundy or wine shades Lighter skin tones need to wear lighter blushes like pink or coral shades.Next review your skin tone If you have yellowish skin you should wear cool colors like pink or plum Olive skin tones should wear apricots or if you have a dark olive complexion an orange Neutral shades can wear anything though rose and mauves are recommended Blue skin tones usually only seen in very dark skin can wear reds or berries
After chosing your shade youll want to look at the contrast of your hair against your skin If you have dark hair and light skin youll need a more vivid blush The closer your skin and hair color are to each other the more neutral the color should be If you are a redhead use a very mellow shade of blush like a peach so your cheeks do not compete with your hair. Finally check your blush in natural light rather than fluorescent If you are really having difficulty ask a makeup professional for help
Try a bronzer rather than a blush for a natural look
Daytime blush should be light while nighttime blush should be a little heavier

Apply blush last after everything else is completed including your eyes
Place a small amount of blush onto the brush and tap off any excess
Smile or suck in your cheeks and apply the blush to the apple of your cheek Brush it up toward your hairline
Use a circular motion or short vertical movements when you are applying blush
Use a clean makeup sponge to blend in any edges
Preview in the mirror when youre done to make sure all your makeup looks good

If you have a full face focus your blush near your hairline If you have high cheekbones apply the blush to in the center of your face
Do not apply blush to the underside of your cheeks
Blush should never go below the bottom of your nose or any closer than the iris of your eye Applying blush high on the eyes can help your eyes to sparkle
To go with a natural look apply blush sparingly
Brush a little amount of blush your forehead if you look very pale right where the sun normally hits your face
