Applying blush can make a lot of difference to your overall look. It may not take more than 2 minutes to apply blush in a right manner but you can see its impact last the entire day. A simple blush can turn out to be your secret beauty weapon. Why not to indulge into the basics of applying blush so that the next time you enter the office, you make all eyes lift up from the screen and follow you all the way to your seat.

Before Applying Blush

Make sure that you follow the steps given below before getting on to apply blush

  • Choose a blush of the right colour that goes well with your skin and lip colour.

  • Choose, on the basis of your skin type, the formula of the blush. You can go for powdered blush, blush cream, liquid blush or gel.

  • Use a full and professional blush brush for positive results.

Tips on How to Apply Blush

The following tips about applying blush will help you adorn a ravishing look

  • Look at the mirror and smile and start applying brush from the apple of your cheeks. Smiling helps in figuring out where to start from.

  • For a more natural look, apply blush before applying foundation.

  • Try to keep the colour light and blended for a smooth look. If you have opted for a gel or a cream, apply it on the middle finger and blend it onto the cheeks with the help of ring and middle finger together.

  • A general tip for the colour. Apply rose, olive in peach if you have a fair skin while red or apricot looks great on a dark complexion.

  • Keep your blush brush clean or otherwise it will gather infection and transfer it onto your skin.

  • For a sexy and glamorous look, dab a shimmery blush on the peak of the cheek bone. You will be amazed to see the results.

  • When sweeping powder blush, make sure you sweep it in one direction for a flawless look. Going around and around with the brush can cause streaks on the skin and can hurt the brush too.

  • For a complete rich look, apply a sweep of translucent powder.

  • A pink coloured blush can help warming up and adding a tinge of glow to any tired looking skin.

In Case You Go a Bit Heavy

In case you end up applying blush heavily onto your cheeks, don’t panic. To lighten the effect of a gel or liquid blush, wash your face and start off again. A powdered blush can be made even by applying translucent powder over it. Use tissue for blotting the extra colour off for cream blush.

Learning the right way to use a blush brush may seem difficult on the very start but with practice one can use the brush in a right manner in no time. Do keep a translucent powder handy.
