Tips for Blushing Cheeks to Get Glowing Skin
The best blush for aging, wrinkled or textured skin is a cream or liquid formula. Powder formulas and shimmery finishes can draw more attention to texture and wrinkles.
You should also steer clear of formulas ranging from cream to powder and opt for youthful shades like pink, peach, coral, terracotta, and soft red.
Blend and Sweep for Instant Lift
You should blend upward and outward, towards the temples on the upper cheekbone area. Cream or liquid blush glides on the skin much more easily than powder. Powder blush can dry out the skin and make texture or wrinkles more pronounced.
Find the Best Blush Shade for Your Skin Tone
When selecting a shade, you should try a few shades and see which one suits you best, but a good rule of thumb is to understand your undertones. If you have a deeper skin tone, shades with more red undertones will work best, such as coral, rosy tones, and even light reds.
If you have cool undertones, silver jewelry will suit you best and you can blush with a hint of blue, like a pinkish-purple. Those with neutral undertones can wear any color across most shades.
If you have a medium skin tone, not overly fair or dark, the golden orange hue of a ripe fall peach will be an adorably charming experience for your cheeks.
A Smooth Base
Japanese girls are fond of smooth and moisturized base. Use a thin foundation to achieve the lightest coverage and color balance for your skin.
Make sure you have even coverage across your entire face before moving on to the next step. After blending foundation, proceed with concealer. Finally, use setting powder to lock the makeup in place.
Rosy Cheeks
Add a touch of blush to the highest part of your cheekbone area to create a flushed look as if you’re in a state of intoxication. Specifically, to achieve a natural rosy cheeks effect, you should opt for cream blush products.
Blush has the ability to contour the cheekbones, giving your face a blush, radiant appearance.
