How to Use a Blush Stick
Applying blush using a stick is quick and easy! Here's how to achieve a natural, radiant look:
- Twist Up the Stick: Gently twist or roll up the blush stick to reveal a small amount of product at the tip. Check with a finger to ensure a bit of product protrudes above the container. (Reference 1)
Applying the Blush
- Find Your "Apple": Locate the apple of your cheek – the fullest part of your cheek where you naturally blush. (Reference 2)
- Apply and Blend: Place the blush stick directly onto the apple of your cheek. Lightly stroke upward and outward towards your ear. Repeat this 2-3 times on each cheek for buildable color. (Reference 2, Reference 3) You can also apply directly to your lips for a pop of color. (Reference 11)
Tips for Optimal Results
- Warm it Up: For smoother application and better blending, you can warm the blush stick slightly on your hand before applying to your face. (Reference 9, Reference 10)
- Blend with Fingers or Brush: Blend the blush seamlessly using your fingers or a soft brush. Fingers offer a more natural, diffused look; a brush provides more control and precision. (Reference 5, Reference 7, Reference 8)
- Less is More: Start with a small amount of blush and gradually add more if needed. It's easier to add more than to take it away.
- Experiment with Placement: Experiment with slightly varying placement to find what looks best on your face shape.
Different Application Methods:
- Direct Application: Apply directly to the cheeks and blend with fingers or a brush. This method is quick and easy. (Reference 6)
- Scribbling on the Hand: For easier warming and dispensing, apply some to the back of your hand and use fingers to pick up and blend the product for a more gentle application. (Reference 4)
