So, the questions are, how much, where & what color. Yep, that pretty much describes how most of us feel about blush. Well, here’s a few pointers that might help.
- Blush is pink or peachy. Bronzers are not blush, though they can definitely be used as blush if you like that bronzy look.
- Choose a blush that matches your undertone. Which means if you have a warmer more yellow undertone choose a more peachy blush. If you have a cool, bright pinky undertone, choose a true pink with a blue undertone.
- Blush should be applied in a lazy J motion. This means the heaviest part will be on the apples of your cheeks with a sweeping motion back along the actual cheek bone to the hair line. I call this the Nike Swoosh movement if that better illustrates what I mean.
- Blush goes on the curve of the cheek bone, NOT under it and NOT above it.
- Don’t be shy. Blush adds life and a healthy youthful glow to your face.
So, we all hope this helps! Have fun!
