Aww.. You're making me blush...

Blushers bring life to the face. They give that healthy look with good blood circulation. They can also help the cheeks look more contoured for slimmer-looking features. Applying blushers isn't always just a simple task since over-applying blushers may make you look like you have a horrible rash and not blending well gives a very unnatural look.

What we're gonna try to achieve with blushers is a healthy flush that looks natural and help enhance the cheeks. So here's a tutorial on applying powder blush as well as liquid blushers.

Powder Blush

So here's an un-blushed cheek and where we're gonna put a shimmering blush to bring out the cheekbones (I prefer a bronze color) and a pinkish blush on the apples.

• Do a kissy face if you can't see your cheekbones clearly
• Use your blush brush to apply a shimmering blush along the cheekbone
  

• Then, apply a pinkish blush on the apples of the cheek
• To find the apples, smile and you'll find two little balls at the front of your cheek
• Don't forget to brush on some blush on your T-zone which is your forehead, nose and chin; for a more natural look
• Buff harsh lines in circular motion by using a kabuki brush or powder brush
  

And we're done!


Liquid/Cream Blush & Cheek Stain

• Dot on your blush on the apples extending a little to the cheek bone
• For cheek stains, I recommend only dotting on the apples
• Blend well upwards along the cheek bone and make sure you don't get any harsh lines. Work quickly with cheek stains
• For cream and liquid blushers, you may also use a sponge to blend
  

And the effect...



Happy Blushing!
