Different Types of Blush
Based on its texture, a rouge comes in different forms, some of which are best for oily skin type, while others are excellent for dry or mature skin. To get that natural looking glow on your face, you need to find out which Blush formula is best for your skin type. These are the usual types of rouge that you can experiment with:
Powder Rouge
Powder Rouge is usually pressed into either a compact, or loose powder in a glass. It is the most common type of rouge that people use because it is very easy to apply and mix, as well as giving it the sought after natural look without being over the top. However, a powder does not blush as long as a liquid blush does, and all day as it absorbs the oils from your skin, the color can easily change.
Powder Blusher is better for those looking for a traditional make-up, and since it is only applied to a small part of the face, it is good for all skin types.
Cream Blush
< creams are becoming increasingly popular, especially among those who are blushed because of excessively pigmented powder, or who have very dry skin. creamy rouge is very easy to apply and gives the skin a very soft layer of color.
They work better than powder rouge if you do not want to wear foundation as they are easier to apply on bare skin. Cream blushes come in a variety of shapes, from glasses and compact, roll-up sticks, to pillows! While cream blushes are perfect for dry skin, they also work for almost all skin types, except. for oily skin
Liquid Flush
Liquid Flush is similar to creamy rouge, but its texture is more fluid, giving room for easy custom blending, and can be mixed with Moisturizer or Foundation for the Shereest of Flushes, or blended with another liquid rouge for custom colors.
Liquid blushes are blushed longer than normal powders, and they normally retain the same color throughout the day. As cream blushes, they are great about bare skin and dry skin will fit best.
Stain Blush
Stain also blushes in the form of a liquid, but they are extremely pigmented and highly concentrated. All it takes is a small drop that dries quickly and gives a lot of color.
Blotch Blight is ideal for anyone whose blush seems to fade quickly as they give a long-lasting color thanks to the water -based formula they provide. Stain blushes are great for oily skin types, though they can work for any other skin as well.
< h2> Best blush colors for every skin tone
Once you have found the right rouge formula for your skin type, it is also important to learn how to choose the right color for your skin tone.
Best Blush Colors for Light Skin with Cool Undertones
You'll want either a very pale berry or a light pink blush if your skin has a cool undertone, at least if you play it safe want. They will fit perfectly in your skin and look natural while your cheeks are still glowing.
If you want a matte rouge, choose a lighter color, but if you have a little glimmer or want to glow, your blush can even be a medium shade. Overly orange or peachy colors can collide with your skin, but if your foundation is applied perfectly, this collision can really look very fashionable and haute couture.
If you're not ready to mingle forever, stay away from darker blushes.

How to use Blush for your application Face Shape
When it comes to the right rouge application, both your face shape and make-up tools play a big role. So, first make sure you apply rouge according to your face shape, and do it with the best tools, using the right makeup techniques to achieve that flawless, glowing glow.
The most flattering blush shape for your face depends on how prominent your cheeks are, as well as your overall face shape.
• Diamond & amp; Heart-Shaped Face : For faces that are smaller and more angular, with sharp cheekbones, your rouge application can help soften the face. Apply your rouge slightly lower on the cheekbones and keep it centered and round.
Round Face : Blush can draw attention to your cheekbones and give your face something square definition. Apply it higher, near the temple, and lower it at an angle toward the center of the cheek apple for the most flattering form.
Long Face : Whether you have a rectangular face or a longer oval face, Rouge can help break up and balance your appearance. Start at the top of the cheekbone and pull your blush into the outer part of your face so that it forms a straight line.
• Square Area : Blush can seriously soften and feminise a face with a more square shape and a stronger jaw line, and when it is concentrated in the center of the face, feminise a bit higher on the cheek apples. However, rouge can also be applied to the cheekbones, at an angle from the temples to the center of the face, highlighting the sharp features in a very editorial way.
• Oval Face : Perhaps it is not far to save this end, as most faces are oval. Oval shaped faces are usually fairly balanced, so a sweep of blush along temples to cheekbones, with a very gentle slope, would only help to accentuate natural features.
You can experiment with rigorous angles, as well as with softer, rounder shapes, depending on what you want to achieve.
Choose Your Blush Applicator
• Round-Topped Brush : These are the classic choice for rouge application. A swing on every cheek, and you're pretty much done! A fluffier brush provides a brighter coverage, while a denser brush provides more opaque coverage. Brushes with animal hair should only be used for powder rouge, but if your brush is synthetic you can use it for both powder and cream rouge. Fan brushes : Fan brushes give you the most gentle swing of color, and are good for anyone who is a little nervous when you apply blush excessively. They are also great for heavily pigmented rouge because they give you a lot of control over the application.
• Fingers: When it comes to using liquid products, I just love using my fingers. Liquid and cream blushes are no different. It is a particularly nice method if the rouge you use is a little thicker because the heat from your fingers will warm up the cream and make it spread better. They apply the blush with circular movements, and there is a light and naturally mixed color wash.
Sponge or beauty blender : If you do not like to use your fingers, a moist beauty blender or sponge may also be a great way to apply cream blush. You can first embroider on the cream rouge and then use a clean sponge end for mixing. Sponges give you a lot of control over how easy or how strong an application will be.
Duo-Fiber Brush : A small duo-fiber brush can help you quickly and well-mixed application of cream or liquid rouge. You dip your brush in the blush and apply it in a circular, circular motion on the cheeks. If you're nervous about a very pigmented blush, you can even mix in a bit of foundation before applying to get a sharper look.
How to apply Powder Blush
• Start with cleansed and well-moisturized skin. You can even use a primer if you want.
• Use your foundation as usual. You can read our Basic Guide if you have not understood the make-up step yet.
• If you want to make cream highlights and contours then this is the perfect time!
• Be sure to apply a setting powder to your foundation! If you're wearing a powder primer, you do not have to set it. This powder coating is important because powder rouge is extremely difficult to mix when sitting over a cream or liquid foundation.
• Dip your brush in the desired rouge and make sure that the product is well coated. Tap the excess. If you think you have loaded too much rouge on your brush, gently wipe it against a dry cloth.
• The place where you start your rouge application is where you put most of the product, so you want to think about it before you start. If you are looking for a fresh face, start in the middle of the face and carefully brush the brush out to the temples. If you want a more angular, refined look, apply the blush on the temples and work your way to the center of the face.
• Use a clean, soft brush to blend the edges of your rouge for a seamless look.
• If your rouge still looks a bit strong, dip a fluffy brush into your face powder and lightly apply it to the rouge. This makes the blush softer and as if it were naturally under the skin.
• If you want a little more definition, you can also add powder highlights to the highlights of the face and powder outline to the areas you want to make leaner.
• Finish with the rest of your make-up.
How to Apply Cream Blush
• As Always Start With One clean and moistened face Apply a little primer if you want a longer life.
• If you want to wear a cream or liquid foundation, first apply to your skin a uf.
• Start with your applicator applying your cream or liquid rouge. Pull it into the skin with a gentle movement and then mix it out in a circular shape.
Remember that the place where you first dab the blusher is where it seems to be the strongest, so for more youthful appearance, start with the apple of the cheek, while modeling for one Start at the temple and mix in the middle of the face.
• For a longer-lasting makeup look, either blush your whole face with a translucent powder or just blush your cream with a powder blush.
• Finish your makeup as you normally would.
Matching blushes to your lipstick h2>
Face painting that looks beautiful is a great balancing act, and rouge plays a big part in it. We've all heard that dark eye makeup should never be paired with dark lips, but what about Rouge - how do we match Rouge to lipstick?
When it comes to blushing lipstick, your safest bet will always match with undertones. This means that if you wear a purple, magenta, blue-red or cool-pink rouge, your rouge should also be cool toned. On the other hand, if you wear an orange, orange-red, brick, or peach-colored lip, your flush should also be warm.
That does not mean you have to Wear a red rouge with a red lipstick or a purple rouge with a purple lipstick. You can z. For example, combine a soft apricot blossom with a brick-red lipstick or a cool berry blossom with a blue-red lip. A truly neutral rouge is a safe bet with just about any lipstick, so that's an option as well.
To get that under control, I've definitely seen some really great make-up looks that lacked the undertones of rouge and lipstick defiantly. The key to such a look is that it is extremely clean and precise, because even the slightest imperfection will make the look artistically too chaotic. Your foundation, eye make-up, lipstick and blush has all been perfectly created and mixed.
Blush makeup tips & amp; Tricks
• For long-lasting and ultra-vibrant rouge, combine a cream rouge with a powder rouge. After you have applied your creamy rouge, simply lay it down with a powder blush and it will stay all day long.
• If your skin has an uneven texture due to scars, acne, or enlarged pores, avoid excessive pearlescent or shimmering rouge as they over emphasize the uneven texture in your skin. Instead stay dull red.
• Blush can be a multitasking! A powder rouge can also double as your eye shadow, and a cream or liquid blush can become as three-in-one and work perfectly as a lip gloss. This can give you a really nice monochrome look.
• If necessary, your lipstick can also act as a cream-colored rouge - simply dab and then blend, just like any other cream. This is also a great way to make sure lipstick and blush match!
• For a sweet, mischievous and Instagram-ready look, blush a bit red over the nose root. The effect is unique, lovable and innocent.
