6 blushing mistakes that make you look ridiculous

In this case, “under-” is better than “over-”. If you feel like your cheekbones aren’t accentuated enough, you can always apply another layer of blush. But washing off all the makeup and starting over is much more offensive.

The easiest way to remember where to apply blush: smile as hard as you can! It will turn out a scary smile, but we need it. Apply blush to the most prominent parts of the cheeks, the so-called “apples”, then brush along the contour of the face.

Even if you apply the blush with a special brush, do not forget to go over the cheekbone area with a sponge or even just with your fingers. The blush should not have a light border – otherwise it looks very unnatural.

If you have oily skin, choose gel blush or stick blush: with high-quality shading, they will look as natural as possible. But for dry skin, these textures are less suitable, and it is better to choose either cream blush or compact.

Alas, the brush that comes with the blush is usually not suitable for applying and blending them. The right brush is large, fluffy, rounded, with a long hair.

Your ideal blush color should match the natural blush your skin gives. The easiest way is to rub your cheeks with your palms and select a shade as close as possible to the tone that the skin has acquired. Yes, and remember: there is no brown and carrot blush.
