Picking the right blush for your skin type and finding the perfect brush are just the first two steps in making the most out of your blush. From applying correctly for your face shape to making your own blush from natural pigments, try these easy ideas.
With the help of the best blush hacks, you’ll get more that perfect application. These simple tips and tricks for using blush on your cheeks, and even your lips, will help expand your makeup repertoire for more glamorous looks.
Turn Lipstick into Blush
Whether you’re out of blush or you just didn’t think you’d need a touch up when you left home, your lipstick can come to the rescue. Unless it’s a very dark shade, you can turn your lipstick into an instant cream blush. All you need to do is apply a little bit on the back of your hand, then use one or two fingers to apply a small amount on your cheeks and blend it really well.
Get the Right Look for Your Face Shape
One of the best blush hacks is applying it based on your face shape, not just on the look you want to achieve. If your face is oval, start with the apples of your cheeks and swipe it a bit upward. For round faces, the best place to wear blush is along your cheekbones, for a slimming effect. If you have a square face, stick to just the apples. For a heart-shaped face, apply it under the apples of your cheeks and gently blend it upwards.
