Looking Good - Hints and Tips Using Blush�?/FONT>
"Tips To Help You Look & Feel Your Best"
------------------------------------------------------------
Unless you can get someone to embarrass you on a daily basis,
chances are you need to use blush as part of your makeup
routine. Here are a few tips and hints to make your "blushing"
look as natural as possible...
When you buy your blush, dump the blush brush that comes with
it. It really is too small and stiff to create a natural look.
I have uses these brushes to apply a light eyeshadow to my eyes
however...
Look in the mirror and smile "hard". This is how you will
find the apples of your cheeks...
Dip a nice fluufy brush in your blush and shake off the excess.
Brush the blush lightly over the apples of your cheeks, moving
toward your ear. Use a short, up and down vertical motion...
Blend the blush in with one sweeping otion over the top of
what you just applied. Cover lightly with powder...
If you have a tendency to "wash out" or fade, you can apply
a light stroke of blush across your forehead up by your
hairline or a little over your brows where the sun would
land on your face. Go lightly though, less is more in this
case...
Use cream blush as you get older because the skin is drier
as you age and a cream moisturizes and gives a less "cakey"
look...
If you use cream or gel blush, dab a tiny bit on the apple
of each cheek and gently rub it in with your fingers. You
can use a sponge to blend and make sure it is blended to
prevent the "Bozo the Clown look"...
Whether using cream or powder blush, apply a light coat of
powder before and after applying blush. The powder makes the
blush go on smoother and it also prevents the blush from
grabbing on skin that is oily...
Whenever possible, apply blush or any other color cosmetics
in natural light. A bathroom with poor lighting is the main
reason women look like the circus is in town when they leave
their house... http://lookinggood.gophercentral.com
