How to Pick the Right Color for Blush Makeup
Skin is our canvas for makeup. It's like knowing what you are drawing on before choosing a paintbrush, pencil or oil pastels. If you want a glow blush, check this out:
If you have a fair skin tone, the goal should be to accentuate the skin rather than overdo it. You can tell if your skin is fair by wearing white clothes and seeing whether you have a more rosy or yellow hue. A yellow hue will mean you have a warm skin tone.
Fair skin tones should opt for softer colors to accentuate the light tones. Any variation of baby pink will work best for this.
Warmer skin tones look better with a face blush that has more of an orange or yellow hue. This matches the skin and mimics the look of having been in the sun for a little while. This means any kind of tangerine color is perfect for fair skin tones.
How to Apply Blush Stick? Where Do I Apply Blush to My Face?
Here is a simple step-by-step guide to make sure you get the best out of your blush stick. Remember to start with a small amount and build up color as you see fit.
- Your skin is an art canvas. Make sure it’s clean and moisturized before applying anything
- Apply your usual foundation and concealer. This will leave a smooth surface for you to add the blush to.
- Swipe the blush stick on the apples of your cheeks. (Pro tip: smile in the mirror and apply the blush to the roundest part of your cheek for a natural glow).
- Next blend the blush with your fingers or a brush. Apply it directly and blend the blush into your skin. Blending upwards can make it look most natural. If you want to use your fingers you can, a sponge or a brush are also acceptable.
- Add some powder to the end of the blush stick and shade it in if you want the blush to last longer.
