Blush is an important part of make-up. With the help of an accurate applied blush you can refresh your face, make it looking much better and healthier. To make blush look natural, you should put it on just enough to highlight your cheeks, but not be able to tell it is there.
| The color of blush must match to the skin and hair color and lipstick and nail polish color also. Palette of beige and pink tints is appropriate almost to everybody. All tints of beige and pink are suitable to light skin; more dark tints (coppery and coral colors) are suitable to brown sunburned skin. Orange tints are suitable to red-haired women. | |
• If you use powder blush apply it after powder to blend it in lightly and achieve more accurate shading. • Apply cream blush before you put on powder and blend well to define your cheek bones. Now follow with powder. • Blush is put on at few directions. If you have an oval face put blush on the cheek-bones. • Round faces seem to be longer if the blush is put on from temples to lip corners like triangle. There is the simplest way to put on the blush, which is appropriate to everybody. Put blush on the cheek like an oval at the nose level. If you put on too much blush, cover cheek with some quantity of light powder. The color of blush becomes softened. • How to find more suitable color.

Blush Mistakes | |
| Lots of mistakes are made and here are just a few of them. • Choosing too light a color. It makes no difference because you can't see it. • Choosing too dark a color. I have seen this happen a lot. Women have two spots on their faces of color and you can spot them from 100 feet away. • Choosing the wrong color entirely. Red lipstick and apricot blush doesn't work but you will be amazed at how often that combination has been used. • Cream blushes used on oily skin. You might have a little color but the shine would blind you. | |
