The Ultimate Guide to Achieving the Perfect Blush for Age 30-40 Skin

Applying blush is usually the last step in the makeup process. That’s why many women often overlook or even skip this step, forgetting how important it is to create a certain vibe for the face. Especially for working women aged 30-40 and above, blush plays a crucial role in helping you “cheat” a few youthful years. To achieve such an effect, you just need to keep in mind a few tips below: 

Consider using cream blush. Because it is easy to blend and create a new color when applying makeup. Moreover, the moisture in cream blush can easily cover the signs of aging on your skin. And especially, this product line will create a more natural and radiant look compared to regular powder blushes. With cream blush, you can simply apply it with your fingers for a quick and natural look, without looking “fake” like when using powder blush. This type of blush usually comes in 4 colors: Soft pink, shimmering pink, brownish pink, and bright pink for you to choose from. 

You have 2 choices for your blush color. First, choose a blush color that is closest to your natural flush. Or you can go for a more cohesive look by choosing a blush color that matches your lip color. Besides, one lesson to learn is that you should use pink or coral blush for fair skin, while red or plum blushes are more suitable for darker skin tones. In addition, you should also choose a lighter blush color for daytime makeup. On the contrary, darker shades will bring a more sophisticated and elegant feel to your face when you need it for evening or night parties.

 

When buying blush, try it on in a place with natural or white light to see the true effect and color of the product on your skin. Avoid yellow or red lights if you don’t want them to “deceive” you!

At the age of 30-40, blush should be used as a subtle tool to make your face look brighter and healthier. If you have a sun-kissed complexion, when applying makeup, focus on applying blush on or below the cheekbones to create a defined look for the face. For slightly older women, applying blush below the cheekbones and then gently blending upward is a valuable trick to “rejuvenate” the face. In addition, you should also add a little bright blush to the front of the cheekbones to “bring a smile” to your face.

To make your cheekbones more defined and give a fresh look. Simply smile and apply blush on the highest point of your cheekbones. Then gradually blend it upwards and stop at the hairline. On important occasions, you can also emphasize your cheekbones more by applying a bronzer beneath the cheekbones and then using a cream blush in the same tone to blend it evenly on the high cheekbones for a more noticeable effect.
