Blushes can seem like an overwhelming thing to buy - is it a necessary step to add to your makeup routine? Depending on your skin type and what type of look you are going for a blush can add a nicely accented touch to your entire makeup look. Read more for the differences between each.
Cream Blushes: Ideal for dry skin, cream blushes provide a fresh, dewy finish. They're incredibly versatile, making them a fantastic choice for both dry and mature skin, enhancing your natural glow.
Powder Blushes: Powder blushes are perfect for mature skin, offering a natural glow with excellent staying power, especially in humid climates. They ensure your look lasts all day.
Application Technique: For a flawless look, apply blush to the apples of your cheeks, then blend it up along the cheekbone and past the temple in a C-shape, ending above the brow. This technique ensures a beautifully blended finish.
Liquid Blushes: While I find their pigmentation challenging, setting a liquid blush with a powder can boost its longevity and intensify the color. For the best results, use a brush that's not too big or dense to achieve an airbrushed look.
