What Are The Main Types And What Are The Ways To Choose The Right Blush?

There are many kinds of blushes, but all are broadly classified into 4 major groups:

          Liquid
  Cream
          Powder
Balls

If we choose the powder formulation then we need to dab the brush before applying this on the face so that the excess amount will be dust off. Otherwise, the color will be uneven. On skin covered with a base (foundation), this application will look untidy.

Compact ones give quite thin layers if you choose a high-quality brush created specifically for the application of such cosmetic products.

Different Categories Of Blush

Here are some main types and their application techniques

Powder Blush:

Powder blush is a staple in every makeup lover's collection, adding a touch of color and radiance to the cheeks for a healthy, youthful glow. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned beauty enthusiast, mastering the art of applying powder blush can enhance your makeup routine and elevate your overall look. This product comes with a satin, matte or glossy finish.

Using a fluffy blush brush, swirl it lightly into the powder blush. Smile gently to locate the apples of your cheeks, then sweep the blush brush in a circular motion onto the apples, blending upward towards your temples. Be sure to blend well to avoid harsh lines and achieve a seamless, natural-looking flush.

For a more sculpted look, apply a slightly deeper shade of blush in the hollows of your cheeks, starting from the hairline and blending towards the apples. This technique adds dimension and definition to your face, creating the illusion of higher cheekbones.

Ball Blusher:

Blush balls, also known as blush pearls or blush beads, offer a unique and fun way to apply blush. Blush balls provide a buildable and customizable application, allowing you to control the intensity of the color. Start with a light layer and gradually build up the pigment until you achieve your desired level of flush.

To use blush balls, swirl a fluffy brush or a kabuki brush over the surface of the balls, picking up the desired amount of product. Similar to powder blush, smile to locate the apples of your cheeks and gently buff the blush balls onto the skin in a circular motion.

Liquid Blush:

It is most often chosen by professional artists because its application requires skill. After applying the foundation of bb cream or a skin tint whatever goes with the look, liquid shade is applied.

Take a little bit of the product on the back of the hand, and then applied directly to the face with the help of your fingertips or with the help of a brush or beauty blender.

Cream Blush

It is more often used to create a soft yet dewy look. The main difference from liquid ones is that they can be applied after the person has fully applied the products but has not applied the powder.

The composition of cosmetic samples with creams contains oils, moisturizing ingredients, so they should be chosen by older women and women with dry skin.

They are ideal not only to add pop of color to the cheeks but also to sculpt the face. You can apply them to the cheekbones to give relief properties. The mousse has an almost weightless formula and a light pigment

Using your fingers, a makeup sponge, or a stippling brush, dot the cream blush onto the apples of your cheeks. Smile gently to locate the apples, which are the round, fleshy areas that protrude when you smile. This technique helps to identify the natural contours of your face and ensures precise placement of the blush for a flattering effect.

Some Hacks:

1. Blush can also be used as eyeshadow. Take a small blush dab it gently to dust off the excess product and apply it on the eyelid like you apply your regular eyeshadow.

2. Both blushon and highlighter can be applied not only on the cheeks, but also on the sides of the forehead, in the center of the nose, on the chin, and neck. This is necessary so that the pages do not look like bright spots, but the image is complete.

3. It will be easier to choose the color if you consider the natural tone of the lips. "warm" skin toned shades should dwell in peachy coral colors.

4. Your favorite pink lipstick can sometimes be used to brighten the look: apply a little on the cheeks in the same way as lipstick. Alternatively, use a sponge over your face.

5. Shimmers can refresh the look. But this advice is only suitable for those with perfect skin. Others will see the opposite effect: small pimples, pores, uneven surface of the face will become more visible. Such girls should choose matte look.

6. Add a tad bit of Vaseline and mix it with the cream or liquid formula and apply it on the cheeks to achieve a dewy look. Tanned girls should choose reddish color, with light skin - peach or coral.

7. For those who want a long lasting application for a party look . Apply the gel product, and on top of it - use the powder.

8. It can be used in conjunction with eyeshadow to emphasize the eye shadow , you can apply a little on a brush (clean for shadows) after you have finished the look and put it under the eyebrow. If the eyes are green or brown, you need peach, coral tones. Blue eyes - cool pink shades.

Old Popular Trends:

Dripping was the trend of 2017, replacing vibrant contouring, golden baking and glossy baking. Following the new trend, it should be applied intensively , but where exactly, ELLE reveals.

Dripping:

It is correcting the shape of the face using the product. This trend started in the disco era in the 70s and mimicked how hot it was after energetic dancing. Two shades are required for dripping. A darker shade is used instead of contouring, a lighter shade for apples of cheeks to add freshness.

Dripping is actively used by the artists in shows, but how much this bright trend will take root, in reality, is still hard to say.

While the drip is only gaining momentum, it will not be superfluous to return to the classic scheme of applying color. For many girls, the question of where to apply is still important. In order to learn how to apply the product correctly, you need to determine the shape of your face.

In the generally accepted classification, the main shapes are distinguished: triangular, round, square (rectangular), oval. The technique of applying this varies depending on the shape of the face.

DIFFERENT FACE SHAPES And Blush Application

The square face is characterized by a broad forehead and an enlarged chin. In this case, the cheekbones are not very prominent. The main moto is to soften the features with a strong will of the face and with the help of a colored shade to give softness.

The rule of applying it is to cheek apples on square face does not work. To accentuate the shape, apply blusher from the outer corner of the eye to the line below the cheekbones.

Therefore, draping is no longer even a technique, but an art. Girls with round faces fully understand it. They know very well how to apply it on the face to correct its shape.

A round face always looks very soft and naive (analogy with a nesting doll), with the help of soft peach shades, you can emphasize the freshness, those of deep summer will add drama to the image.

In this case, the biggest mistake is applying the product in the center of the cheeks, exactly on those very famous apples of the cheeks. Visually, this will emphasizes the round shape and, with rich shades, emphasizes it even more.

The most useful option is to apply diagonally, starting from the temple and ending opposite the lips. For drip, two strokes should be added to the temporary area towards the forehead.

And a completely opposite technique for applying this with a triangular face. A face with clear boundaries should be smoothed out. To do this, use the brush to apply the product in some clear round strokes in the center.

The oval face is considered a reference point. With this supple face shape, you can put it as you wish, from the temples down and over the apples.
