Blushing ***Prize***
February 14, 2015
Blushing is an involuntary response. It’s the way your nervous system responds to an emotional situation. Maybe you blush when that cute guy in your class catches you stealing a glance in his direction. Wooosh…and your cheeks turn pink. Embarrassing, but now you look super pretty.
We also get flushed and rosy when we exercise or when a cold wind bites our cheeks in Winter and Fall. Which ever way it happens it makes us look alive, and it’s one of those visual clues that can hint to what were thinking about.
How can you get that natural pink glow in your cheeks and keep that youthful look of blushing? Easy, just find the perfect blush for your skin tone and a fluffy brush to apply it. It might take some time to find the perfect color but that will be the fun part. Head to the mall and try on some different colors. The ladies behind the counter will help you narrow down your search. Most of us stick with one or two favorite blushes (a pink color and a peach color) so don’t go crazy collecting blushes you probably won’t use. Plus, blush lasts a really long time so take your time, and don’t forget to go out in the sun and see if the color works outside as well.
There are some high end blushes like Nars, Tarte, and MAC to name a few. They have many colors to choose from, and are very pigmented. Thankfully companies like NYX, Wet n’ Wild, Elf, and Milani make dups (duplicates) for these expensive brads. They all have great pigmentation like the expensive brands. Remember more pigment normally equals long lasting color and a higher quality blush, but you need a fluffy brush not a dense brush to airbrush it onto your cheeks. A dense brush will make it hard to blend the color, and don’t forget to tap off the excess before you touch the blush to your cheeks or you might have clown like blush.
