There was a time when women were stuck between choosing one color blusher, pink or peach. Thank goodness, those days are gone. Today, blushers are available in an array of colors and different formulations. There clever new formulas. The main choices are traditional powder, a cream texture, a liquid or a gel finish. With so many options, there is certainly one out there to fit your skin type.
All Skin Types
Right type: LIQUID CHEEK STAINS
Reason: They’re excellent for all skin types and face shapes, because a little is needed for a natural flush of color, or layer up the shading for an intense hue that will last during 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 may be the best option if you have dry to combination skin, because there is no powder to settle on your dry patches. The texture helps your skin maintain a natural, luminous glow.
How to apply: It is easy to apply on bare skin or over foundation. For 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 excellent for achieving dense color coverage. It’s the best texture for contouring your cheekbones, and is right for oily skin because 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 prefer a subtle result. They can be worn alone on bare skin or layered over foundation, before powder. All mousse formulas offer a pretty velvety finish and are really smooth to use .
How to apply: When putting on gel or mousse blusher, tap it gently on to your cheeks and blend upwards and outwards together with your fingertips. But do not apply it on top of your make-up because you will not be able to blend it.
One final pointer in selecting a blush, remember powder blush is the easiest to use. If you prefer this type, choose one that is not too sparkly, or it’ll enhance your wrinkles. Shimmery blushers are far kinder to mature skin as they diffuse fine lines, making the skin around your cheeks look younger. Your skin may feel drier as you mature, it may be best to try a moisturizing cream formula that gives a flattering sheen to your skin.
