Blush is one of the most
important step in makeup, mainly for the fact it helps your skin become... more
alive, shall we say. It can make your cheeks pop, and can compliment your face
a lot if you know the right techniques. Both high street and drugstore blushers
can be amazing, but if you don't know if its the right colour, then what's the
point in buying it in the first place? This will be a mini guide in helping you
to make the most out of your blush, or, help you buy the correct blush for your
skin tone. Enjoyyyy!
Fair
Skin
Like
me, if you have a few freckles when the sun comes out because you're that pale,
then worry no more! Before i start, quick side note- its always best to apply
blusher with either an angled brush or a powder brush. The angled brush helps
you be more precise when applying so you don't over load ( Don't you just hate
it when that happens?!) however the powder brush helps applying blush quicker
if you're in a rush, so feel free to take your pick, or even mix and match,
whatever takes your fancy:).
Right,
so with paler skin, I don't know about you but when i try different blushes, it
feels like some pinks are too vivid, or some reds or too dark, or some corals
are just too bright, and it just feels like you simply can't pull it off.
However going for the lighter and more natural shades, e.g champaign, can make
a huge difference. If you're a fan of pink blushes, then use a lighter one than
you normally would, because this will compliment your skin tone immensely. I
would recommend this one in the shade trace gold, or if you want a
little less pricey, this one.
Medium
Skin
For
all you medium skin ladies, its highly suggested that you try to go for a tad
darker than the ones I've just said, and go for the rosy pinks and deep peaches
to compliment the cheek bones and jaw lines. These can be found everywhere, and
depending on how light or dark you would want these, the more it may compliment
your face, because everyone is different. So i'm going to leave a selection of
shops/brands down below for this one.
Nars-
little bit pricey.
MAC-
little bit pricey.
The
Natural Collection Range (Boots)- not pricey at all.
Rimmel
Cream Blushes- not pricey.
Topshop
Cheek Tint- pricey.
Dark
Skin
Okay,
your turn! For darker skin, i find that going back up to the lighter colors i
said for the fair skins really compliments your bone structure if you apply it
on the edge of your cheek bone, or a gold- that would look amazing. So i
recommend a light shimmery colour, possibly in gold or champaign, or if you're
not that into shimmer, i would recommend some light orange around the cheeks,
or maybe a light, rosy pink.
Peach Shade: NYX Blush – Cinnamon
I
hoped this helped at least some of you to find the right blush, I'm thinking of
doing more of these helpful posts to guide people through the ins and outs of
makeup, just in case there new readers, or just to help some of you beauty
experts out there. Thankyou for reading:)
