Blush can instantly brighten your face, but applying it incorrectly can throw off your entire makeup look. Here are 5 common blush mistakes to avoid.
Too Much Blush Using too much product can make your makeup look heavy and unnatural. Start with a small amount and build gradually.
Wrong Shade A shade that doesn't complement your skin tone can look harsh. Choose blush tones that work well with your natural undertones.
Wrong Placement Applying blush too low on the cheeks can make the face appear droopy. Try placing it slightly higher on the cheekbones for a lifted look.
Not Blending Properly Visible edges can make blush look patchy. Blend it well into the surrounding makeup for a softer finish.
Using the Wrong Formula Mixing incompatible formulas can affect your makeup. For example, applying powder blush over a very wet base may cause patchiness.
Less is often more when it comes to blush. Build the colour slowly, blend well and check your makeup in natural light.
