how do i choose a blush?

Question

i want it to look 100% natural...i just want to add a little color to my cheeks...what brand should i use and how do i choose the color?

Answer 1

Go to a makeup counter at a department store. Most brands will give you a free makeover! You can tell them you want to look 100% natural and are looking for blush.

Answer 2

If you're light to medium skinned, use a soft peach blush. Look in the mirror and smile, the part of your cheeks that looks roundish on the sides are the "apple" part of your cheeks. Apply it gently to the apples of your cheeks with the brush it comes with. Apply very little at first and add more if it looks too light.
Practice beforehand so when you go out, you don't look like Raggedy Ann!
Put it on in a well-lit room so it will look as natural as possible.
If you're trying to match your clothes to your makeup, buy light pink, a mauve, and a soft peach so you'll have all the colors.
I prefer the Clinique line because it's less powdery and doesn't blow around and get into my eyes and nose as much as, say, Cover Girl does.
But it's kind of expensive for someone just starting to wear makeup. Try Almay or Revlon at first. They're cheaper. : )
Good luck!

Pinch your cheeks and match the color to a blush. Which ever one matches the natural color of your cheeks will look good. Try using cream blushes- they're easier to blend, look more natural, and don't come off as easily as powder blush. If you wear powder or foundation, try putting the blush on before you put foundation on for a natural, rosy-cheeked glow.

I personally love bronzer!!! Bronzer also looks good on any skin tone. You can put as little or as much as you want on your cheeks (depending on the look your going for) and also apply it to the rest of your face and it looks natural.

I have a virtual makeover on my website www.marykay.com/tvazquez8 where you can choose a model based on your skin tone and then play with the different blushes or bronzer.
I hope this helps and please feel free to ask me any more questions about skin care and makeup.

Answer 6

Try the True Match blush by Loreal. Just go to Wal-Mart or something and answer the little question thingys that help you decide what shade is best for you... They ask a question like "Do you think you look better with silver or gold jewelry?" It's cool and it really works. I love it!

Answer 10

Anywhere that sells blush should have a laminated sheet of different colors of blush and you take the sheet and put it up to the underside of your fore-arm and whichever color matches your skin is the one that you want.
