Blush makeup is supposed to add more color to your complexion, for highlighting, or to accentuate your face shape. It is used to stimulate a natural glow on the face. This means that blush should look natural. When choosing a blush, choose one that works with your skin tone and apply it sparingly.

Often, I saw women with overdone blush on their face, making them look like they just got slapped on their face. That is because every blush contains red pigments that will make your features stand out, so with overdone blush, you’ll get the “slapped” effect.

How do I apply blush on my face?

For liquid or creamy blush, usually the fingers are used to apply on the face followed by facial powder. For powder blush, medium-sized flat brush is used to apply the blush on top of the facial powder.

Different ways of applying blush on different sizes of face

To add definition to your face, use neutral or warm-colored contouring blush. Apply on the bottom of your cheek-apples all the way down to the hollow (but DO NOT get inside the hollow), then blend it up towards the temples in the shape of a crescent.

To make a long face look shorter: apply blush across your cheeks starting from the mid-nose level. Blend it up and down, creating a soft triangle close to the centre of your face.

To improve the apparent shape of a square or round face: start with an oblong stroke below the nose level, finishing up at the temple near your hairline. The blush should be applied in a long and slightly curved line away from the centre of your face.

That’s it for my Makeup tip of the day. Hope it helps.
