BLUSH

I absolutely love blush! First of all I love that I can place it in different areas on my cheeks to give me a completely different look. I love that I can use different shades depending on what cosmetic mood I'm in.

Placement of blush can depend on your face shape, age, or look you want to create. Color choice can depend on your attitude or look you want to achieve. I personally let my mood choose the color and placement of my blush.

In the following paragraphs you will learn blush tips that will make you fall in love with rouge all over again!

Face Shape & Blush Placement:

Square- Apply blush on the apples of your cheeks to your temples. This will softens the angles of your face

Oval- To create a soft natural glow, apply blush on the apples of your cheeks.

Round- If your face is round start at the height of your cheek bone moving toward your nose, not taking color past the center of your eye. This technique is slimming to the face.

Diamond: Show off those gorgeous cheek bones (which all diamonds face shapes have) and start at the apples of your cheeks & sweep up to the height of your cheek bone.

Heart: To add balance and symmetry begin at the apples of your cheeks toward your ear lobes.

Long: To open up your face and show off your features, start at the apples of your cheeks toward the ears.

Attitude of Placement

Fun/flirty/youthful- Apples of the Cheeks:

Sophisticated- Height Cheek bones:

Beachy- Apply a warm shade to your forehead, nose, cheeks, & chin for a sun kissed look.

Snow bunny- Apply a red to your cheeks and nose for a weekend in Aspen look, burr.

Moods of Color Pink- Is like a pinch on the cheeks. It is a very natural look. Think of your four year old nieces pretty pink cheeks.

Orange/Peach- Brings warmth to your look. A soft peach is excellent for making one's appearance more youthful!

Red- Gives the skin more of a flushed look. This look can be very sensual.

Browns/Neutrals- Gives the skin a sun kissed appearance.

Isn't blush fun?! I bet you didn't know the 101 ways to use one simple cosmetic, (or maybe you did). I think If I was stranded on an island this is the one cosmetic I would want stranded with me.
