Amazing Tips for Beautiful Blush

#1 What's Your Face Shape?

The shape of your face is one of the most important things to consider when applying blush. Use this guide to determine where to apply your blush. But remember, it's still makeup. It's supposed to be fun! So, experiment a little and use these tips to help you along the way.

#2 Pop of Pink

A bright shade of pink can be used on both your cheeks and eyes. And here's a fun tip: add a little blush to lip balm if you're in a makeup crunch, or just want to save some space in your bag.

#3 What's Your Color?

It's really important to choose the right color. Everyone's skin is different, but a general rule of thumb is to go light and bright with lighter skin and deeper rosy and orange tones with darker skin. Be sure to buy a blush with strong pigment. You won't have to use as much, which will leave you with a more natural finish.

#4 Multi-Colored Palletes

Choose a blush compact that has multiple colors. They look cute in your makeup bag and can help you get a more blended look.

#5 Cheekbones!

Prominent cheekbones can make a person look thinner and uplifted. Try placing your finger right under your cheekbone and sweeping blush from the middle of your cheek towards your ear. Remove your finger (you can't walk around that way all day!) and slightly blend that lower line it with your fingers.

#6 Cream Blush

Creme blush is a great option for a long lasting glow when you won't have the opportunity to touch up. Just use your fingers to apply it.

#7 Foundation Brush

You can also use a foundation brush to apply cream blush. If you have trouble controlling the direction of your blush with just your fingers, this is a very good option.

#8 Brush Up!

Using the right brush can make all the difference. Ditch the small brush that comes with many blush compacts and opt for a wand worthy of the pros.

#9 Ice Cream Sandwich

Think of this technique as the ice cream sandwich. Bronzer under your cheekbone, blush in the middle, and a highlight above your cheekbone. It's easy and calorie free.

#10 Don't Go Overboard

Blush is fun stuff! But unless you're prepping for a walk down the runway, don't overdo it. Blush is meant to make your skin look brighter and well rested, not sunburnt.
