FAQ
How do you choose a blush?
Your skin type determines the type of blush that’s best for you. If you have oily skin, a powder blush counters the oil production and offers an even, natural finish. For dry skin, cream or liquid blush are ideal because these hydrate your skin and reduce dullness and flaking.
If you have acne-prone skin, look for non-comedogenic products. Comedogenic ingredients clog pores, leading to blackheads, whiteheads, and full-on breakouts. A prevalent comedogenic to avoid is coconut oil.
For sensitive skin, look for a fragrance-free blush. Fragrances are common irritants in beauty products, and it’s best to avoid them if your skin’s easily irritated.
How do you pick a flattering blush color?
First, identify whether you have warm or cool undertones. The color of your wrist’s veins under natural light gives the best indication.
- Green-tinted veins → Warm undertone
- Purple, pink, or blue-tinted veins → Cool undertone
- Olive, beige, or vermilion-tinted veins→ Neutral undertone
Another method is considering the jewelry that looks best on you. If you look better in yellow jewelry, your undertone is warm. Those with cooler undertones look great in silver. Lastly, gold looks best on neutral undertones.
If you have warm undertones, avoid cool-tone colors. For example, a blush with a blue base, such as a berry color, may make you look washed out. Instead, find a warm, peachy, or red blush to get the perfect rosy glow.
For cool undertones, you want a blue or pink-based blush. The best blushes for fair skin are often candy pink to give you a natural rosy flush. When in doubt, consider what your natural flush looks like and find a similar shade.
How do you apply blush?
Powder blush is the most common type — here’s a step-by-step guide to applying this product.
- Take a fluffy face brush and swipe it in your blush.
- Tap the brush on the edge of the compact to knock off any extra product.
- Lightly swipe the brush on the apple of your cheeks, moving outward toward the top of your cheekbone.
For a liquid or cream blush, use your fingers, a makeup brush, or a sponge blender to apply and blend the product onto the apples of your cheeks.
Where you place the blush affects your makeup look. Use blush, bronzer, concealer, and shimmer to contour your face. For a sun-kissed effect, apply a small amount of blush to the tip of your nose, forehead, and chin, as well as the apples of your cheeks.
To create the appearance of higher cheekbones and a slimmer face, apply blush along the underside of your cheekbones. Use highlighter on your cheekbones to accentuate the effect.
