Blusher is amazing at helping you achieve a natural, subtle glow and can transform your look in one touch of a brush, but there is more to it than sweeping rouge across your cheeks.

 

In order for it to look as natural and flawless as possible, you need to be very careful in your choice of colour and application.

 

Make sure you are applying your blusher right by following the NYX Cosmetics Guide to Blush:

 

1. To apply to your cheeks, smile at yourself in the mirror and dot on the apples of your cheeks. Use your blusher brush or finger to blend towards the temples to give a subtle, sculpted glow. It’s important to apply high up on the apple of your cheeks so that your cheek looks lifted.

 

2. Avoid applying blush high up on the cheek bones, this area is for bronzer and blush will only create a longer face and shorten your forehead.

 

3. Always make sure you tap off any excess blush so you don’t apply too much on the cheek.

 

4. Try choose a shade that matches your cheeks when flushed or pick a hue that matches your lip colour so you ensure your cheeks look naturally blushed and not overdone.

 

5. Powder blushes are amazing for women prone to oily skin.

 

6. When choosing a blush or bronzer it’s important to find one that will illuminate the skin. 

 

7. For first time blushers, start off with a light pink or coral pigment and if you want something brighter go with a rose colour or deeper plum shade if your skin tone is more sallow and warmer in tones.

 

NYX Cosmetics are available nationwide and with their huge range of blush colours, you'll find your perfect shade in no time.
