Most of us need a bit of help when it comes to showing other
people that we also have cheekbones. It might be because of our bone
structure or because some of us are a bit overweight, but the fact is
that we certainly need to use blush. You will be surprised to know that
most women don't even wear blush. Blush can do amazing things such as
bringing life back into your face and showing a healthy glow. It is true
that not all of us have time for a complete beauty makeover but
applying blush is definitely one of your essential beauty tasks.
Find
the correct color is one of the most important factors when buying
blush. It sounds easy enough but it can be a difficult task for someone
who doesn't have an eye for color. You can visit the makeup store and
ask for professional advice, but if you want to figure this out yourself
then you can follow these 2 basic methods.

The first method is to
think about the change of color in your cheeks whenever you are
exercising. Have you ever noticed the change of color in your cheeks
after having a good jog around the block? That color will be an
excellent choice when selecting a blush. The second way is to give your
cheeks a goophotd pinch and see which color it turns into. The color you
receive from that rush of blood to your cheeks is also a great way to
see which natural blush color will suit you.
Now that you know
which color to choose it is time to decide on which kind of blush will
be perfect for you. As we know that the makeup industry has something
for everyone and therefore we have different kinds of blush such as
powder, cream, tint and gel. You must choose the kind of blush that
suits the condition of your skin.

Let us look at the types of blush there are:
- The powder blush is the most common type of them all. The majority of skin types can use it.
- Normal to oily skins can use a gel blush. You can use your fingers to apply it to give your cheeks a nice and healthy shine.
- You can also use your fingers when applying cream blush. It has a
thicker substance but feels light after application. It is best suited
for women who have dry skin because the cream blush puts moisture back
into the skin.
- Tint blushes are normally used by more advanced users because it's
more of a stain. When you apply it you must make sure that you work fast
and finish before it dries. Although tint blushes are not as easy to
use it certainly stays on very long until you wash it off.

You should now have a pretty good idea of the different
types of blushes that are available. Now let us look at how you should
apply it. Remember to do all your other makeup routines before you start
applying blush. Apart from doing your lipstick, blush should be your
final step. The reason why you apply it at the end is because you will
have a better sense of how much you should apply after your foundation
and eye shadow has already been put on.

Do you know your face
shape? Where you will exactly apply blush on your face will depend on
whether you have a heart, round, square or oval shaped face. You then
place a bit on with your brush or applicator and gently shake off some
of the excess blush. You should place it on the apples of your cheeks.
To know where they are you can look in the mirror and give a good smile
at yourself. The apples of your cheeks are the round area that comes out
when you smile. You should start applying the blush on the apples and
work your way outwards towards your hairline. Blend the blush in very
well so that it looks very natural.
You shouldn't be concerned if
you apply too much powder blush. If you think that you have overdone it
then simply use your translucent powder and place some of it on top of
your blush. And finally, although it is fine to use the applicator that
comes with the blush, I would recommend using a proper blush brush. When
it comes to looking at your best then you have to use quality tools
that have been designed to give you the best results.
