How Do You Blend Liquid Blush with a Brush?

Published in Makeup Application 2 mins read

Blend liquid blush seamlessly using a brush by following these simple steps:

Choosing the Right Brush

Several brush types effectively blend liquid blush:

  • Angled brushes: These are ideal for precise application and blending, allowing you to easily reach the high points of your cheeks. The angled head helps to stipple and blend the color effectively (e.l.f. Cosmetics, e.l.f. Cosmetics How-To).
  • Small domed brushes: These work well, especially with stick cream formulations (Reddit - Sephora).
  • Fluffy brushes: While not exclusively designed for liquid blush, fluffy brushes can be used; start with a small amount of blush on the back of your hand, pick it up with the brush, and swirl it onto your cheeks (Byrdie). Many powder blush brushes are also suitable (The Beauty Look Book).

Blending Technique

  1. Start with a small amount: Liquid blush is highly pigmented; a little goes a long way (The Beauty Look Book, e.l.f. Cosmetics How-To).
  2. Stippling and circular motions: Using your chosen brush, gently dab (stipple) the blush onto the apples of your cheeks. Then, use small, circular motions to blend the color upwards towards your temples (e.l.f. Cosmetics, e.l.f. Cosmetics How-To).
  3. Blend outwards: Continue blending until the color is seamlessly integrated into your skin. Avoid harsh lines.

Additional Tips

  • For better control, apply a small amount of blush to the brush first (Quora).
  • You can use your fingers to initially apply the blush and then blend with a brush for a more natural look.
  • Remember to blend your blush into your foundation to avoid harsh lines.
