Where to apply blush and how to choose the right color for yourself

When putting on makeup, applying blush can improve people's complexion. So where is the best place to apply blush? How should you choose the right color for yourself when choosing blush?

Blush should usually be applied to the highest point of the cheekbones to make it look better. Before applying blush, it is best to be a little careful and apply some dark shadow powder on the facial contour to make the face look smaller. This can make the face look better and more mature.

1. Don’t choose a color that is too red

Oriental people have yellowish skin, and even the whitest people cannot compare to European white people. And very red blush is not suitable for yellow skin like us, just like when we were kids, our cheeks were always red, and that red color should be normal. But it doesn't look good, for the same reason.

2. Mainly apricot yellow

You should choose apricot color for fair skinned girls, of course, we are talking about fair skinned girls with yellow skinned girls. You can make the color lean towards red, but not too red, it should still be mainly apricot color. Girls with fair skinned girls are more suitable for apricot yellow.

3. Don’t apply on the middle of the cheeks

You can’t apply blush on both cheeks. Imagine a round face with blush applied in the middle of the two cheeks, which looks red. Does it look good? A thin face with a pointy face with blush applied in the middle also doesn’t look good, it looks exaggerated and deliberate.

4. Apply blush on cheekbones

The correct place to apply blush is on the cheekbones on both sides. Don't say you don't have cheekbones, they are just not obvious. Cheekbones are not big and plump. You can still feel the cheekbones with your hands, and this is also the place where blush should be applied.

5. Dip the blush brush in powder and flick it lightly

When applying blush, use a large blush brush and dip it in powder. Don't apply it directly on your face, as the color will be too heavy and not look good. First, flick it in the air to shake off the loose powder on the brush, and then apply it on your face, and the color will be more natural.

6. Use different blush colors separately

Prepare several blush brushes, one for each color of blush. Don't mix up the brushes of each color, and don't feel bothered. If the blush you draw looks good, you will know that it is necessary to separate the brushes.

1. Yellowish warm skin: coral orange, warm orange, champagne

People with yellowish skin are not suitable for pink and purple blush, which will make you look darker and even uglier! Orange blush that is close to your skin tone can actually help to modify your complexion.

2. Cold skin with rosy white: coral pink, cherry pink, rose pink

If you don’t have a naturally fair complexion, but a cool skin tone with a hint of red, then pink blush will suit you very well. In addition, colors that are suitable for yellow skin are actually also suitable for cool skin, so there are more choices.

3. Healthy wheat-colored dark skin: brown-red, dark pink, brown

In fact, healthy wheat-colored skin does not need to blindly pursue whiteness. The key is to choose the right blush color, which can enhance the translucence of the skin and make the overall complexion look very textured. At this time, dark red, pink, and brown will be your best choices!

4. Naturally fair skin: purple, orange, pink, red

If you have naturally fair skin, congratulations! Any color of blush is suitable for you! (I envy you), fair skin is not picky about color, just like you splash paint on white paper, it will not absorb the color or change color, and it will be extremely beautiful when applied with this year's most popular ultraviolet light.

Whether blush should be used before or after loose powder depends on the texture of the blush. Powdered blush should be used after loose powder, and cream blush should be used before loose powder. Because conventional base makeup is relatively moisturizing, air cushion, liquid foundation or pressed powder all contain a certain amount of moisture, while loose powder and powdered blush are dry. If powdered blush is used before loose powder, it is easy to clump or smudge on the face, so it should be used after loose powder, which is the last step of makeup.
