Answer 1

O, the awful memories u just brought bk to me! lol! I use to do that too..I also hated it! Sometimes I literally couldn't see straight from the strain on my face! I know this wont help much now but all I can tell u is that it get way better as u age and become less self concious and more experienced. It takes alot to make me blush now. When u feel the first blush coming on, u know someone will probably make a comment, so prepare urself mentally to expect it and then u might not blush so much more after they say something. Good luck!

Answer 2

Don't worry about it! its the same way for me... and all my friends think its cute... but sometimes it happens at the worst time and it seems like i am blushing because of the conversation. If you are really worried about it, get a really good foundation... put it on with a makeup sponge and then get some on a make up brush and put it on all over your face. Wear a light blush that won't really be too over powering, but thats more optional. Thats what I do and it works well!

Answer 3

There are a couple of things I think you can do, but I'm not sure how well they work as I do not have the same situation as yourself and obviously, many others.

Overall I'd have to say you should not be concerned about blushing at all. From what I've been reading on the internet, it's not that big of a deal. I used to have an issue with blushing, but miraculously I just don't do it anymore and I think it has a lot to do with my level of self-confidence.

Anyways, to help you out, from what I've read and gathered, I have not heard one negative remark about those who have a blushing "issue." In fact, most of what I have read is how blushing is seen as really cute by members of the opposite sex. I suppose it has something to do with the fact that blushing is a sign of good health and it's also very good for the blood flow. So, I'm curious, why are you trying to hide something such as this?

If you can't seem to come to terms with your blushing, I have a few ideas that are a little bit risky, but may help you out.

I would say avoid all of the foundation, powder, cover-up advice etc. as there are so many problems that could occur whilst attempting to hide your blushing. For example, some make-up can really affect the appearance of the skin in a negative way. When I say this I am referring to the fact that it can cause acne, and in general, there's a good chance you may end up looking dead or like you just got out of a tanning bed. However, I would not rule out all make-up, as blush could really assist you in this situation. I find this idea a bit lax, but who knows, it could help someone.

By applying a darker blush on your cheeks, it could make you look as though you are naturally flushed. What I'm trying to say is, try to make it look like you have a natural blush to your face, that way, when you DO blush, your face will only seem a little bit darker. Gosh, this sounds even more stupid in writing, lol, if you can make some sense of that and use it to your advantage, I salute you.

I've heard that by thinking about your rosy cheeks whilst blushing can only make it worse. Rather than thinking to yourself, "stop blushing, stop blushing, stop blushing," you have to think, "I'm going to make myself look like I'm blushing." I read this one in a magazine, so I'm not quite sure how it works. It was a psychology magazine, so...

That's all I've got to tone down the blushing, but I remember that it was people asking why I was red that made it worse. I've come up with some realizations and I've found that my blushing was worse at certain times of the month than others (ladies, you know what I'm talking about). As I mentioned, guys (so far, all guys I've heard from) find blushing attractive and apparently women subconsciously appear more attractive to men during their menstrual cycles than any other time. (Men subconsciously sense it somehow). Figure that one out. That's something I once told my friend when she asked me why my face was red. I simply said, "I get that way sometimes, especially when I'm menstruating, it's my raging hormones, damnit." We both just kind of laughed it off.

Another thing I found that really helped was telling people about it. Look at it this way, if you tell someone something embarrassing, or a big secret, the more they hear about it, the less it becomes amusing / secretive, which also means the less anyone really cares about it. The more you say, "Oh yea, I blush all the time," the less it really bothers you. Don't be afraid to make jokes about it either. I once heard that Pink (musician) got her name because of the colour her face would go when she was embarrassed. I'm not sure how true this is, but if it is, you can tell she embraced it as though it was something she was proud of.


I guess in general, just explain to people who ask why it's happening. That should be your main goal if you don't already know, find out why you blush. Is it low self-esteem, confidence etc? The more you know about it, the more comfortable with it you will be.

Hope I helped a little!

Answer 4

Don't be embarassed. I love to see other people blush and have never, ever, thought anything bad about a person who blushes.

Answer 5

I used to blush and it was embarrassing. I think people blush because they are over sensitive and self questioning. If true, I don't see these as bad qualities. In time your self-defence mechanisms will kick in. Till then, remind yourself that you don't deserve to suffer. Only when you are dead, will it cease to matter. as you are still alive, then fell proud and learn how to control your insecurities. Trust me it's not easy... but over time it should work out. God bless and good luck!

Answer 6

just put on loads of blush and noone will notice...lol actually i have a better idea!!!! i have the same problem and i use tons of foundation just get a foundation that suites ur colour of ur face and maybe even lighter and put tons on and it does the trick. may i suggest maybelline pure makeup. its cheap and its like 60% water so ur pores dont clog up

Answer 7

dont worry i do to. and i know its hard but you have to stop thinkin about whats making you blush at the time. take a deep breath and clear you mind. try not to focus on the burning in your cheeks..lol. but its not to bad, some people find it cute to see you blush

Answer 8

Blushing is beautiful! Embrace it...I swear people will be jealous of your 'inner glow.' And don't let what others say to you get to you so much. Who cares what they think anyway? You're probably really awesome and don't even know it.

Answer 9

dun worry about that. that happens to most people. but, it is OK to be embarassed. blushing is normal. i blush too you know. anytime, blushing is like a habit, a normal habit, just ignore when people say you are blushing, just say," aww, it is ok, just blushing." but in a calm and cool way. like in your normal tone.
