IMPORTANCE OF BLUSHERS

After facial makeup, the next thing that comes on the face is the blusher.Blushers add warmth to the face, and amphasise the facial contours.This is a highlighting colour, that is applied on the high edge of the cheek bones and blended to create a natural-looking blush on the cheeks.Always start by using a little blusher and gradually build color to get the desired effect. Remember, it is always easier to add more to get the vibrant look.
There are two types of blushers:

CREAM BLUSHER AND POWDER BLUSHER

The predominant form today is the powder blusher-this is the successor to the original rouge.Cream blushers are somewhat newer than powder blusher

POWDER BLUSHER:USE IT AFTER APPLYING POWDER

Powder blushers suit all skin and are especially good for OILY SKIN. If you prefer the matte finish, use a powder blusher after setting your make up with powder. Dust the excess blusher from the blush. Begin with circular motion on the cheeks and then sweep across the cheek bone towards the hair line. Keep color within the apple of your cheeks. Apple is the raised portion of your cheeks when you smile

 

CREAM BLUSHER:USE IT BEFORE APPLYING POWDER

Cream blushers are god for DRY SKIN. Dot some blusher with your finger tip on the center of your cheek. Put 2 more dots in an upward and outward slant line towards the temples (temples are the sides of the forehead).Gently blend it upwards and outwards with the fingers within the apple of your cheek(apple is the raised portion of your cheeks when you smile).Now brush or pat powder.

NOTE:

For mature skin, a matte finish with powder blushers is ideal

Q: MY BLUSHER NEVER LASTS.HOW DO I PROLONG THE DURATION OF THE SAME COLOR ON MY CHEEKS?

A: After applying blusher, dust with pressed powder. Now pat a damp cotton wool ball to set the color on your cheeks. This will make the color last longer.
Blush should always be applied in a subtle fashion, but not so subtly that it disappears altogether. Choose a little darker blush (avoid red bones) and apply to the cheekbones in small doses and apply at least twice. To determine the 'right spot’ for application: stare straight into the mirror and place a finger directly below your eyeball on your cheekbone. That is the spot for the blusher to go on, blended towards the hairline
