Professional Techniques of Blushing Your Cheeks

from makeup

As a general guideline, keep the cheeks minimal for a more natural look, so that the focus will be on other areas like the lips or eyes. When applying blush, you should try to replicate your cheeks' color when slightly flushed. Many prefer pale shimmery pinks and apricots as well as corals and berries for very dark skin.

	Contour + shimmery blush The contoured cheek still looks soft and prety when paired with a soft peach or pink colour on the apples of the cheeks.
	Bronzer Bronzer is especially effective when trying to create sexy and dramatic looks. If you have pale skin, stick with a very soft, sheer, light brown bronzer only one or two shades darker than your natural skin tone.
	Natural and matte Use a little blush on the apples or along the cheekbones to give a soft, natural, understated look. The most popular is warm pink.
