Blush

There is rarely a little girl who doesn't roam around in mom's clothes, put on her lipstick and mascara. However, there is one thing that may be called the most popular cosmetics of all ages – blush. Before the beauty industry reached the heights it is now, women worldwide used anything they could find at hand to add more colour and definition to their cheeks. These days there is no shortage of the aforementioned product on the market, yet, not all know what it is and how to use it correctly.

Defining blush – what is it precisely?

Scientifically speaking, this type of cosmetics is nothing more than a highly pigmented face-enhancing product that comes in creams and powders. The main aim of this cosmetical invention is to mimic the natural colour that shows on your face when you are excited. However, you should realise that some people lack that vibrant and healthy flush, and thus, the artificial enhancer is twice as valuable.

In case you haven't noticed it when you apply a full coverage foundation, those rosy cheeks of yours remain buried under the base along with all the imperfections you are so weary of. So, blush is the best way to replicate that missing colour granting you a lively and sweet complexion.

As it has been already noted, there are two main types available on the market. They are the following:

• Powdered.
• Cream.

Powdered – the option equally applicable to the base coverage as well as clean face. There are countless tones and finishes that you can experiment with before you find the blush that suits you best. Powdered product begs for a special brush to be applied along with a primer. Otherwise, it may not hold in place, especially if there is no foundation to stick to underneath. The beauty of the formula is that you can build up the drama ranging from the most natural to overly vivid state.

Cream – serving the same purpose, the formula along with the application differs. This type of blush works well with base coverage, but it looks extraordinarily superb on a bare face. Even if you skip the primer step, the formula will cling onto your skin and remain in place for a long while. Another perk of this option is that you can easily apply or re-apply it on the go with as much as your fingers at your disposal. Under less savage conditions, you can use a sponge to blend it on well. On a slightly darker side, this type of product is usually a lot more pigment, and it's utterly easy to overdo it compared to powder.

How do you apply blush correctly?

There is a simple way to spread the product evenly and correctly over your cheeks. All it takes is to smile widely and put it on the apples of the cheeks as simple as that.

Before you end up with a formula to suit your needs and preferences, you need to consider your skin tone and pick the best shade to compliment you. As long as you learn about the undertone you own, the rest is a simple task to carry out. Besides, with MAKEUP online store at your side, you can buy anything you like in a matter of a few clicks!
