Blush is a product that we usually use when we put on makeup. What is it made of? Is it necessary to apply blush when putting on makeup?

The ancient Hittites used cinnabar, the ancient Greeks used plant roots to color their cheeks, and the Romans used seaweed to make pale cheeks rosy red. Early humans mainly used natural pigments as colorants for rouge, such as red ochre, cinnabar, carmine, red lead, safflower, sandalwood and Brazilian wood extracts. The ancient Chinese court had long used mineral pigments for beauty decoration. It was not until the 1920s that legislation was enacted to allow the use of colorants in cosmetics and medicines. Today, the colorants used in rouge are mainly some inorganic pigments and lakes allowed for use in medicines and cosmetics.

If you have a rosy complexion, then it is not necessary. Blush will make your cheeks appear healthy and rosy after use. If eye makeup is the focus of facial makeup and lipstick is an indispensable item in the makeup bag, then blush is the best tool to modify the face shape and beautify the skin color.

First, find a blush color that suits you, and then use a blush brush to apply blush. Try to apply blush from a little below the cheekbones upwards. Apply a small amount of blush and smile slightly to see the position of your cheekbones. Then, apply it upwards in a circular motion from below the cheekbones until it reaches the corner of the eye.

The shelf life of blush after opening is about 1 to 2 years. The main ingredients of blush are water, flavor and pigment. According to different forms, it can be divided into powder and oil. Usually, after the blush is opened, the powder blush will be used longer and have a longer shelf life than the oil blush. After opening the blush, if it is placed in a cool and ventilated place and the packaging box is covered well after each use, the time for deterioration can be extended and it can be used for a longer time, so it is very important to preserve it well.
