BLUSH

Blush helps illuminate your face

Do you want an instant healthy glow? Then consider using blush to give your make-up an instant boost.

Blush, also known as blusher, comes in the form of a loose or compact powder. It is applied to the cheekbones, using a suitable brush.

Rose, coral, terracotta or even plum, each skin tone will find the MAKE UP FOR EVER blush that suits it best.

Choosing the right blush

All skin tones can wear blush to illuminate their face.

If you have fair skin and want natural make-up, opt for light and iridescent colours.

Olive skin is enhanced by orange, apricot, and iridescent blushes. These colours enhance the complexion and provide an immediate glow.

Dark skin can wear any colour. The iridescent textures give them shine and the more intense colours give a healthy glow to the whole face.

Applying blush

Whether you've opted for a pressed or loose powder blush, it is always applied with a brush for a flawless and neat finish.

Make sure your foundation is perfectly dry before applying your blush, in order to avoid colour and product transfer.

Start by taking a little product and blowing gently on your brush if you think there is too much. It is easier to add a little blush than to remove it, certainly if you have been a little heavy handed.

Then gently stroke over your cheek and cheekbone and blend it with a brush until you get the desired finish. You can choose to make small circular movements or stretch the blush from the inside to the outside of the face for a gradient effect.

Choosing the right brush for applying your blush

Make-up rules state that blush should be applied with a brush on previously-applied dry foundation.

There are various kinds of brushes specially designed for applying blush. In order not to be too harsh with the delicate skin on your face, the brush hairs should be particularly soft.

For a natural healthy glow effect, use a round and dense brush that will allow you to make small circular movements.

If you prefer to work your blush more markedly or create a gradient effect, a long, tapered brush will be your best ally.

Remember to clean your brushes after each use, to avoid the build-up of bacteria which can cause pimples and redness.
