When do I apply blush in my makeup routine?
You can apply blush as the last makeup product after your base makeup. This can be done after your foundation and/or concealer are, but for the best result, apply blush after a mattifying face powder, such as our Silky Powder . This removes shine and hydrates your skin, creating the perfect base for blush!
Extra tip: combine cream and powder makeup
If you use both cream and powder makeup, it's helpful to know to apply cream and liquid products before powder. When you apply powder first and then cream or liquid products, the powder can build up and cling to the moist base, making it harder to achieve an even result. By applying cream and liquid products first, you create a smooth and even base that powder products can adhere to better, helping your makeup last longer throughout the day. If you don't wear foundation, apply blush directly after your day cream.
What brush do you use to apply blush?
The softer the blush brush, the more beautiful and natural the result of your healthy glow! For example, apply blush with the Blèzi Blush Brush , which is wonderfully soft and perfectly sized. Using a compact, stiffer brush can easily create harsh lines and streaks, which looks unnatural. Start with a small amount of blush and build it up in layers if necessary. It's better to start subtle than to apply too much at once.
Where to apply blush?
The easiest way to discover the ideal spot for blush is to smile at yourself in the mirror. You'll see the apples of your cheeks (the curve of your cheek when you smile). This is precisely where the blush goes. Want to give your face a lift? Apply the blush a little higher on your cheekbones and blend it out towards your ear. Avoid letting the blush fall below the contour of your cheeks, as this will make your blush look unnatural. The beveled shape of the Blèzi Blush Brush adapts perfectly to the contours of your face, making it very easy to shape your face.
Extra tip: blush as eye shadow
A touch of blush on your eyelids creates a subtle, monochrome makeup look. It's also handy if you're on the go or traveling and don't want a cluttered makeup bag!
