Right Blusher For The Right Type Of Skin
by: Tania Jain
Gone are the days when women stuck to one color blusher usually
pinks or peaches. Now days, blushers come in a whole new variety
of colors and different formulations. There are vast array of
clever new formulas. The main choices are traditional powder,
a cream texture, a modern liquid or a gel finish. So there is
certainly one out there to suit your skin type.
Powder blush is the easiest to use. If you prefer this type,
choose one that isn't too sparkly or it'll enhance your wrinkles.
Shimmery blushers are far kinder to mature skin as they diffuse
fine lines, making the delicate skin around your cheeks look younger.
And as your skin feels drier as you get older, you could also
try moisturizing cream formula that gives a flattering sheen to
your skin.
All Skin Types
Right type: LIQUID CHEEK STAINS
Reason: They're excellent for all skin types and face shapes,
as you can use a little to achieve a natural flush of color, or
layer to build up the shading to an intense hue that will last
all through the day.
How to apply: They work best on bare cheeks and need to be
applied quickly to avoid mistakes. Apply powder blusher over cheek
stains for ultimate staying powder.
Dry or Combination Skin
Right type: CREAM
Reason: Cream blusher is the best if you have dry to combination
skin as there's no powder to sit on your dry patches. Also, the
texture helps your skin maintain a natural , luminous glow.
How to apply: It's easy to apply on bare skin or over foundation.
If you have a round face don't shade apples of your cheek instead
apply it on your cheekbones, slanting towards your temples.
Oily Skin
Right type: POWDER
Reason: It's classic, and perfect for achieving dense color
coverage. It's the best texture for contouring your cheekbones,
and is ideal for oily skin as it lies well on your skin's surface
and reduces shine.
How to apply: Sweep on to your cheeks in a croissant shape
for a natural - looking flush.
Mature Skin
Right type: GEL OR MOUSSE
Reason: Mousse and gel formulas are great for mature skins
and if you want a subtle result. They can be worn alone on bare
skin or layered over foundation, before powder, and are less fiddy
to use than liquid stains. All mousse formulas offer pretty velvety
finish and are really smooth to apply.
How to apply: When putting on gel or mousse blusher, tap it
gently on to your cheeks and blend upwards and outwards with your
fingertips. But don't apply it on top of your make- up as you
will not be able to blend it.
