Applying powder blush involves gently tapping it onto the apples of your cheeks and blending it outwards. Avoid buffing back and forth, as this can lift the foundation and powder underneath.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Choose the Right Brush: Use a blush brush that's fluffy and slightly angled. This helps with even application and blending.
-
Tap Off Excess: Tap off any excess blush from the brush before applying it to your face. This prevents a concentrated patch of color.
-
Locate the Apples of Your Cheeks: Smile to find the apples of your cheeks. This is where you'll apply the blush.
-
Gentle Application: Gently tap the brush onto the apples of your cheeks.
-
Blend Outwards: Blend the blush outwards towards your temples and hairline in a soft, sweeping motion. Avoid bringing the blush too close to your nose.
-
Light Layers: Build up the color gradually. It's easier to add more blush than to remove too much.
-
Avoid Harsh Lines: Make sure there are no harsh lines of demarcation. The blush should seamlessly blend into your skin. To ensure this, use light, gentle tapping motions.
-
Set with Spray (Optional): Once finished, you can lightly set your makeup with setting spray to further avoid lifting any powder.
Remember to use a gentle tapping motion rather than a buffing or back-and-forth motion, as the latter can disturb the makeup underneath.
