Blush application may seems like an easy thing, but many women struggle to blend their blush in the proper way. When applying make up with the wrong technique, it can sometimes look cakey or and jagged with blush. As a Naples Makeup Artist I have done many womens' makeup and I can tell you it is all done in the exact same way when it comes to blush: BLENDING FROM THE HAIRLINE FORWARD.
Not only does this technique provide contouring as well as highlighting (with a darker and lighter colored blush of course) but it also eliminates all of the excess product that you get if you go the opposite way. If you go from the cheek towards the hairline when applying make up such as blush, it becomes much more difficult to blend. Until you become an expert, make SURE to take your blush brush and move it from the hairline forward.
Lastly, it is always good to use two different colors when applying blush. A darker color for your contour and a lighter one brushed on top for your highlighting (as mentioned above). If you have an angled blush brush (recommended), use the slanted edge for the darker contour and the side to brush highlighter along the cheek bone. Many women are intimidated by applying make up, but it is simple once you get the hang of it! If you have any questions feel free to email me! Being a Naples makeup artist I love answering questions and helping women feel beautiful on the inside and the out!
