Choosing and applying blush: the (real) lesson to make the difference
Because it gives a healthy glow, sculpts and changes a face all by itself, blush is a must-have for a perfect complexion, whatever our colour or skin type. In powder or cream form, discover our beauty tips for applying blush like a pro!
Our guide to choosing the right colour :
What not to do with blush
- Excess material: too heavy-handed? Don't panic, you can make up for it: spray on a little floral water and, using a tissue, pat it into place. Alternatively, a little loose powder swept over the cheekbones works just as well.
-
The wrong colour : if you don't, you'll get the opposite effect and your complexion will look dull... or unnatural. Afraid of making a mistake? Go for a coral or rosewood shade, a sure bet for any skin tone.
-
Sloppy complexion make-up: foundation, compact powder or tinted cream, blush is a finishing touch that will stand out much better if you've taken care to even out your complexion beforehand. It's also a good idea to use concealer or concealer to camouflage any small spots or pigmentation spots.
Our extra tips...
- We can also turn our blush into an eyeshadow, only on the mobile eyelid. An orange blush, for example, will add warmth to blue eyes. A touch of mascara and you're done!
-
Short of blush? A lipstick can also do the trick.
-
Add a touch of illuminator to the upper cheeks for the famous "glow" effect, the professional touch!
-
The difference between bronzer and blush? Bronzing powder is swept over bulging areas of the face (chin, forehead...) to illuminate wherever the sun naturally tans your skin.
