Many women shy away from blush,
afraid that they will look harsh and over-done. The correct
technique will help you avoid that problem!
The right
way to blush:
Smile or suck in your cheeks to
locate the apples of your cheeks. Begin at the center of the
apple and apply blush up to the corner of the eye and the
temple. Blush should never go below the bottom of your nose,
or any closer in than the iris of your eye. Applying blush
high on the face makes your eyes sparkle.
After applying blush, blend
with a dry makeup sponge. Use the edge of the sponge like an
eraser on the outer edges of the applied blush to buff away
any lines of demarcation.
Never apply blush below the
cheekbones. This tripe of color only creates an illusion that
brings the face down and makes you look older.
When the seasons change, change
your blush! Deeper, rich colors for fall and winter, paler
tines for spring and summer.
Note for oily skin:
Excess oil causes the skin to grab color causing your blush to
darken as the day goes on. Avoid this by powdering often, not
with blush but with pressed translucent powder.
