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.
What Type of Blush Should I Use?
• Cream Blush… for older women with dryer skin
• Gel Blush… for teens who want a sheer touch of color
• Powder Blush… most popular choice and has the longest
staying power
What Color of Blush Should I Wear?
• red lipstick… reddish or pink toned blush
• rose lipstick… rose blush
• pink lipstick… pink blush
• coral or apricot lipstick… peachy toned blush
• Brown toned lipstick… bronze shades of blush with the
same undertones as the lipstick.
Create Dramatic Cheekbones
• Dust a little dark powder along the cheek hollows. This can
be just a darker shade of your shadow.
• Apply blush to the “apple” of your cheeks. Don’t go too
close to the nose.
• Apply a highlighter to the area above your cheekbones. Just
a few dots will do and then blend well so that it isn’t
noticeable.
Make You’re Blush Last Longer. Smooth on a little cream blush
and then apply the powdered shadow in the same shade family
and watch how long the color lasts now.
Just where exactly does it go? You look for the fullest part
of your cheek and that’s where your blush goes. Take your
blush brush and sweep the color back toward the temple. Once
you have your blush in place, take a cotton ball and blend
until you have just a hint of natural looking color. Make it
subtle, just no strips of color.
