Just dont use too much, otherwise you look like you've got a L plate on your cheek.
here are some good articles about applying it -
applying blush
how to apply blusher
types of blusher
I don't personally wear it that often when doing my own makeup, but atm I let people put it on me while we're practising and i think it looks good.
The trick is to go for the one that looks most natural to you. We got told which was our 'natural' blusher in our kit, but some girls hated it and have chose another one they thought was natural. You don't need to wear loads of foundation, but it's best to apply it after applying some translucent powder because it blends easier then
bad blusher upsets me.
What colours/shades do you normally go for? (i bet i sound like a right idiot asking this)i dont normally wear much makeup but have loads that i dont really use it..
how to find the right colour blusher
have a shower/bath, and when you get out, look at the colour your cheeks turn. this is the right shade of blusher for you, that will look natural and healthy rather than make you look like Pennywise the clown.
hint: pale skin looks best with petal pink shades. olive skin looks best with browny/tawny shades. black skin looks best darker reds/magentas.
tints are very good value as you only need a little bit and they last a long time, also you can use them on your lips as well.. that's another thing, if you are wearing lipstick it looks more natural if you match the shade to your blusher..
can't think of anything else. But bourgois blushers are gorgeous, they have a very creamy texture for powder blushers, last ages and smell yummy, plus lots of shades and they come in the cutest little pots. No7 ones are nice too, i use the very pale pink one.
brushes ... :eek2: do they not come with the blushers .. silly question where can i get good value 4 money ones im a student atm and need to save if you get me...
i might go into town tomoro to get some blusher and foundation.. i really want to try it out you see lol :yes:
If all else fails, AVON is great for cheapish makeup (the ColourTrend range) and brushes are reasonably priced and damn good quality too.
some of them do come with brushes but they're normally very small and don't give you a very natural look. the bourgois ones are ickle but they have a nice curved shape ideal for brushing onto the apples of your cheeks. however the best brush to use is a medium sized fluffy brush with soft bristles. you can get them from boots or superdrug or avon as nic said and they arent too expensive.
I have to second this; I discovered this a week or so ago (although yeah, I was perplexed by the packaging too at first) and I would wholly recommend it.
It can be tricky finding a blush that goes with your skin tone without it looking too mad.
enough to make you blush
I've heard a lot of the imports are fakes
