How do you blend lipstick with blush?

Published in Makeup Application 2 mins read

To blend lipstick with blush, you can apply a small amount of lipstick to your cheeks and blend it in.

Here's a breakdown of how to use lipstick as blush, based on the reference:

Using Lipstick as Blush

The reference video demonstrates using liquid lipstick as a blush. Here's how to achieve a blended look:

  • Apply Sparingly: Start with a small amount of liquid lipstick on your fingertip.
  • Dot on Cheeks: Apply the lipstick in dots on the apples of your cheeks.
  • Blend Immediately: Using your finger, blend the dots quickly into your skin. You can also use a brush or a makeup sponge. The key is to blend before the lipstick sets.
  • Build if Needed: Add more lipstick for more color intensity, building gradually to avoid applying too much at once.

Why Use Lipstick as Blush?

  • Long-Lasting: As the reference mentions, liquid lipsticks are known to be long-wearing, which means your blush will stay in place for a while.
  • Color Matching: You can create a cohesive makeup look by matching your lip and cheek colors.
  • Versatility: This method is a great way to use a product for multiple purposes, particularly if you don't have a blush on hand.

Additional Tips for Blending:

  • Moisturize: Make sure your skin is moisturized, as this will help the lipstick blend easier and prevent dryness.
  • Don't Overdo It: Start with a very small amount, as lipstick can be more pigmented than blush.
  • Use a light hand: Blend with gentle circular motions to ensure even distribution.
  • Color Choice: Choose a color that is similar to a blush tone for a more natural look.
Step Description

2. Blending Immediately blend the dots with your finger, brush, or sponge into your skin. Blend in circular, gentle motions.
