Do I need to use a brush to apply blush? Do I need to match blush with eyeshadow?

As we all know, blush has many functions, such as helping us brighten our complexion. However, many people use their hands to apply blush. So, do we need to use a brush to apply blush? Should blush be matched with eyeshadow?

You can use a brush or your hands to apply blush. When applying blush with your hands, first put some blush on both cheeks, and then make the blush even in a circular motion. Applying blush in this way will make the entire makeup look clearer and more natural. When applying blush with a brush, first dip the brush in a little blush, then gently shake it a few times, so that you don't dip too much at once, and then apply it on your face. If you think shaking the brush is a bit wasteful, then after dipping the brush in blush, you can rub the brush repeatedly on the back of your hand, which can also avoid using too much. In addition, when applying blush, apply it from the inside to the outside. If you think the color is too light, you can repeat it a few more times.

Yes. Cool-toned eyeshadow + purple-toned blush: If you use purple, blue, or dark rose colors, you should pair it with a purple-toned blush. This is also a common combination in European and American makeup. This color combination is rare in China. Due to the skin color and eye shape of Chinese people, few people can handle cool-toned eyeshadow, so purple-toned blush is also relatively rare.

Warm-toned eyeshadow + orange-toned blush: If you use eyeshadow in colors like bright yellow or grass green, you should choose the corresponding orange-toned blush to balance the tone of the entire makeup and keep it consistent. Orange is a more active color and is very suitable for our yellow skin. Applying it on the face can not only give it a healthy color, but also give it a youthful and sunny effect.

Earth-tone eyeshadow + any color blush: Earth-tone is a well-deserved all-match color. It is not only not picky about skin color, but can also be matched with any color of blush. Each different color can be matched with different flavors. Paired with orange, it has the atmosphere of a naughty girl, paired with flesh red, it has a sense of light mature temptation, paired with rose red, it looks mature, sexy and more elegant, and paired with pink, it can also reduce age and make you look younger.

If you are using loose powder to set your makeup, you should apply blush first and then set your makeup. If you are using pressed powder to set your makeup, it is recommended to set your makeup first and then apply blush. For liquid blush, you can decide whether to apply blush or pressed powder first based on the wetness of the pressed powder. Generally, for dry pressed powder, it is recommended to use liquid blush first and then use pressed powder to set your makeup for better results. Before applying blush, you should follow the normal steps to make up your base makeup. There is nothing special about it. If it is a pearlescent blush, you should cover your pores well, because the pearlescent in the non-decorative primer will illuminate your pores. As for applying loose powder, loose powder setting mainly refers to your entire makeup face. For setting liquid foundation, a layer of loose powder is applied on top of the blush. One is to weaken the heavy blush, and the other is to make your blush look like a natural blush coming out of the skin, with a hazy beauty like flying clouds.

Blush is an important step in makeup, and it is best to use blush. Some people use blush in the wrong way, and the result is a bit coquettish, so they give up on blush as a cosmetic. But there are many benefits to using blush. It can not only improve your complexion and look more gentle, but also modify your face shape. There are also some cream blush, liquid blush, and blush cushion, but these are more difficult to apply, so novices should not choose this type of makeup. People with oily skin should try to choose powder blush, which can absorb oil and keep the face fresh. People with dry skin can choose liquid blush, which has a moisturizing effect and can also make the makeup more docile and last longer.
