Intense, nuanced, glamorous and super trendy, blush is back in the limelight, especially now that we are approaching the spring season. Perfect, in fact, if you want to give brightness and color to the face - a walking effect in the open air - blush is an essential product for a well-defined make-up but you have to know how to apply it in the right way (avoiding certain fatal mistakes) to make the most of the face structure giving a chic touch and a bonne mine effect.
1. Not blending the product
The "Heidi effect" or porcelain doll, or with two pink circles on the cheeks, is now too retro (consider that it was fashionable in the 1980s). In reality, the blush should give freshness to the whole face and not draw attention to the cheeks. Here is the best way to apply it to perfection: in front of the mirror, while smiling, place the brush loaded with product in the center of the cheek and move towards the sides with circular movements (you have to recreate an 8), blending wisely.
2. Choose the wrong shade
The combination of blush with lipstick, eyeshadow and foundation (obviously with respect to the complexion) is essential for a flawless result. The blush must in fact adapt to the other shades on the face: for example, pink goes well with pink but doesn't go well with orange and so on. When in doubt, choose a peachy pink that suits most skin tones and eye and mouth makeup.
3. Apply too much quantity
Using too much product is another common mistake with blush: the risk is to generally weigh down any type of makeup, including natural ones.
4. Apply in the wrong areas
Unlike the bronzer, which is not only used on the cheeks, but on different areas of the face to give a natural tan effect, the blush is to be used almost exclusively on the cheeks and cheekbones and only serves to recreate a natural healthy glow on the face.
5. Choose the wrong texture
Each skin type needs a specific texture, so if you apply, for example, a cream blush on a skin with a mixed or oily tendency, you risk that the sebum mixes with the silicone base of the product, with the result of a "loose" make-up. "and too lucid. In this case it is better to opt for a powder consistency; on the contrary, if you have dry skin, liquid or creamy textures are better.
