Blush has been adding colour to faces since the 1920s, evolving from beetroot juice to modern formulas. This guide unlocks 10 tips and tricks for a flawless
blush, perfect for every Desi girl!
Blend It, Baby!
The key to perfect blush? Seamless blending! Moisturize your skin first to ensure the blush glides on smoothly. Use just a drop or two of blush on each cheek, depending on its pigmentation, for a natural, flawless look. This prevents patchiness, making you ready to rock those festive looks!
The Brightness Test
Use this old-school makeup artist trick, especially for full glam. Apply blush without blending, snap a pic in black and white, and analyze! If the blush is lighter, it lifts. Similar contrast gives a natural flush. Darker shades sculpt, like a Bollywood diva ready for the camera.
Colour Tones Matters
Understanding your skin tone is key to choosing the right blush shade. For instance, if you have a warmer skin tone, coral or peach blushes can beautifully complement your complexion. Conversely, if you have a cooler skin tone, opting for rose or berry shades can enhance your natural glow.
Finger Painting
Sometimes, simplicity wins! Applying blush with your fingers can give a beautifully diffused effect, especially when you want a natural, 'lit-from-within' look. Dot a small amount of cream or liquid blush onto your cheeks and gently blend using your fingertips. This is great for busy mornings!
Blush Placement Tricks
Experiment with placement based on your face shape. Apply blush higher on your cheekbones to lift the face, or along the cheekbones for definition. For a sun-kissed look, apply blush across the bridge of your nose and cheeks. Find what flatters your features.
