THE PERFECT BLUSH
Find the Perfect Shade of Blush for your Cheeks
 | The perfect shade of blush can make a girl glow. Blush is a cosmetic product that can do wonders when worn correctly or can look horrendous when worn incorrectly. Here are some tips on finding the perfect shade of blush for you and how to wear it properly. |
BLUSH TIP #1:
First you must find the perfect shade of blush for your cheeks. If you are new to wearing blush, pick a natural looking color. Try to pick a color that is similar to what your cheeks look like after a great workout. Everyone’s flushed cheeks differ, so it will be different for everyone. A great shade that works on everyone is a soft peachy-pink with a touch of shimmer like Benefit’s Dandelion. A shade like Dandelion really revs up your complexion and takes it from dull to dazzling fast and easy. If you are weary of choosing a blush color for yourself, there are plenty of helpful makeup professionals at your local department store makeup counters. They can try a few different shades on you so that you can see which you like best.
BLUSH TIP #2:
Next, you must have the proper tools to apply blush. Streaking the rouge across your face with the rectangular brush that is included with your blush color isn’t the way to go. Invest in a quality brush that will last you a while and apply your color perfectly. Bare Escentuals makes a value priced brush that is worth more than you’ll pay. It is a natural bristle brush costing under $20.00. |  |
BLUSH TIP #3:
Lastly, a short lesson on how to apply your perfect shade of blush. Apply blush to where you would blush naturally. It could be on the apples of your cheeks or throughout your cheekbones, only you will know. Use soft, short strokes and apply the color upward into your hairline. Now repeat on the other cheek for a perfect glow. You have now transformed your look from so-so to woo-hoo!
Blush gives you that extra something when it comes to makeup. It can really bring out a glow in an otherwise drab look. Don’t wait, head out and find your perfect blush shade today.
