Blush on.
I never quite thought about it but now that I am thinking about it, it actually makes a lot of sense.
It used to be fashionable to smile into the mirror when applying blush but now that's passé. Why? Because age is catching up to us and the pull of gravity is just not helping.
In this episode, I talk about three most common mistakes when applying blush. Elaborating on the first point brought up earlier, we need to stop smiling to ourselves when applying blush simply because the blush position shifts downwards when we relax and rest our faces. Besides, our faces wrinkle when we smile. Applying blush there, just highlights these fine lines more.
Also, another common mistake is using a cream blush on a powdered face or vice versa. No, it's not a big deal but more often than not, that results in unnaturally patchy looking blush. And if you or the people around you can tell that you've got blush on, you've put on too much.
The third most common mistake is using shimmery blush. If you remember nothing else, memorise this.
Shimmer highlights our flaws and magnifies our pores
So what do we do?
1. Always use a matte, cream blush. It's more blend-able for one. And matte products generally help hide fine lines, better.
2. Always keep a straight face, and apply blush nice and high
3. Always use a powder blush on a powdered face and a cream blush on a cream or liquid foundation
Remember, the blush is supposed to be a healthy splash of colour on the cheeks, nothing more.
Hope that was helpful and blush on, sincerely
Love, Lynette Tan
