Blush Makeup Frequently Asked Questions

• What is blush?

  Blush makeup or blush/blushers is a pigment used to mimic the flush of colour and warmth in your cheeks that is usually covered up when applying foundation, concealers or skin tints.
  
  They come in a few different forms including liquid, powder and cream depending on what type of finish you prefer. They're the perfect way to add colour and dimension to the face if your makeup looks a bit flat.

• What type of blush should I use?

  Which type of blush you use depends on what type of finish you prefer. Liquid blush comes in a watery texture and is great for those wanting a long-lasting result with a sheer flush of colour. Cream blush is great to work into the skin, is buildable and feels more moisturising on the skin. Powder blush is great for those wanting a more matte look and is great for oily skin.

• Where do I apply blush?

  Blush is usually applied to the apple of the cheeks where you would usually blush, but can also be applied on the top of the nose if you want a sun-kissed look.
  
  It can be used to make the cheeks look more lifted and is great for creating dimension in the face.

• What shade of blush should I use?

  Before choosing a shade you need to know your skin undertone. If your veins appear green under skin then you're warm toned, so look for peaches, corals and warmed shades. For neutral toned skin you can use most blush shades and for cool-toned skin cool pinks and cherries suit well. However, what shade you choose depends on your preference and there's no right or wrong shade.
