The benefits of blusher are truly marvellous, but in recent years this complexion-booster has been overlooked in favour of contour. The thing is you can use blusher and contour. Not only will blusher make your face come alive (even if you've missed out on your 8 hours sleep), it is one of the most versatile products you can keep in your makeup bag. Need some convincing? Here are 5 ways to use blusher to its highest potential.
A pop of pink or coral blusher blended onto the apples of your cheeks can be incredibly energising for your complexion. Whether you couldn't sleep or you're a little, ahem, hungover then this will help you fake a wide-awake effect in seconds.
It's no secret that we're all obsessed with warm-toned eyeshadows right now, think pinks, reds and oranges, well, your blusher can double as an eyeshadow. Plus, pairing your blush to your eyeshadow is an easy and effective way to tie your makeup look together.
Use a brown-toned blusher and you can blend it up and out towards your temples to contour your face. That way you get a blush and contour effect in one. It's a great time-saver.
Want to turn your cream lipstick into a matte finish? Dust a little powder blusher over the top. Only have a cream blush at hand? You can use that instead of lipstick.
The classic way to apply blusher is to choose a colour that mimics the hue your cheeks flush when you're hot or you've been exercising. But, you can play with different tones of coral and lilac to make your blusher a focal point.
You can also experiment with placing blusher over the bridge of your nose and high on your cheeks for a pretty, sunkissed effect. Alternatively, try blending your blush and eyeshadow together via your cheekbones for a cooler effect.

One of the main benefits of blush is its ability to add shine and color to your cheeks to make them look fresh and healthy. Blush can give you a natural look and brighten your face instantly by choosing a color that matches your skin tone and undertone. In addition, by applying blush correctly, you can also shape your cheeks. By highlighting the center of the cheeks and pulling the color towards the jawline, you will give your face dimension and the illusion of a slimmer, more defined face.
Blush not only gives color to the cheeks but can also give a fresh effect on the face. In some cases, facial skin looks dull and tired due to environmental factors, lack of sleep, or stress. However, by using the right blush, we not only get a fresh effect but can also give dimension to the face. Color choices such as light pink, coral, or peach can have a healthy effect on the skin.
Blush comes in various colors, allowing us to customize the final result to suit any style or event. You can choose soft neutral colors for everyday looks that are natural and fresh. For special occasions or evenings, you can experiment with bolder colors like hot pink or orange for a dramatic pop-up look. In addition, blush can also be used to give a sculpting effect to the face.
Blush not only comes in a variety of colors but also comes in a variety of textures and formulas. You can choose between pressed blush, cream, liquid (liquid), or powder (powder), according to your preference. Pressed and cream blushes usually give the skin a more long-lasting finish and a softer feel. In contrast, powder and liquid blushes give a lighter finish and provide better control over the intensity of the color build-up. Choose a formula that suits your skin type and the style you like.
Blush is a makeup product that is quite popular because it significantly affects the final makeup result, so it is a must-have item in the makeup category. Having at least one color is always recommended, even if you are a beginner trying to use makeup. So, don't hesitate to try to blush in your daily makeup routine.
