How to apply blush like a pro

  1. Choose the right shade: Opt for a blush shade that complements your skin tone and the look you're going for. Pink shades work well for fair skin, peachy tones for medium skin, and coral shades for dark skin.

  1. Pick the right tools: Use a fluffy blush brush to apply the product for a soft and natural finish. Avoid using your fingers, as this can lead to a heavy application.

  2. Locate your cheekbones: Smile to find the apples of your cheeks, then apply the blush slightly above them towards your temples for a lifted effect.

  3. Blend, blend, blend: Blend the blush in circular motions to avoid harsh lines and achieve a seamless look. Aim for a natural flush rather than a streak of colour.

  4. Build up the colour: Start with a small amount of product and gradually build up the intensity to avoid looking too clownish. It's easier to add more than to remove excess blush.

  5. Set your makeup: Once you're satisfied with the blush placement and intensity, set your makeup with a light dusting of translucent powder to help the product last longer.

  6. Check the lighting: Make sure to check your makeup in different lighting situations to ensure your blush looks flattering in all settings, whether natural daylight or artificial lighting.

Follow these steps to achieve a perfectly flushed and radiant complexion that enhances your overall makeup look.
