This summer, blush is one of the hottest makeup trends. From light pinks to deep berry shades, the range of blushes available to create a variety of looks is immense. Whether you're a makeup beginner or a pro MUA, it's essential to include blush in your summer makeup routine. In this blog post, we'll take a look at why blush is a summer must-have and explore some of the best ways to incorporate it into your look.
The Blush Trend
It's no secret that make-up trends come and go, but this summer, there is one trend that is not only cute but also versatile: blush. Beauty brands have recently launched a wide range of blush formulas, from powders and creams to liquid blushes, making it easy for everyone to find their perfect shade and finish. This is one of the main reasons why blush is hotter than ever this summer.
Blush has always been a popular make-up product, but this summer, it has taken center stage. Thanks to its versatility, blush can create many different looks, from subtle and natural to bold and glamorous. Whether you want to create a soft, romantic look or a bright, statement-making one, there is a blush that will help you achieve your desired look.
Moreover, blush has become a must-have product this summer because it is easy to use. You don't need to be a make-up artist to apply it properly. With just a few swipes on your cheeks, you can instantly transform your look. Plus, with so many shades available, you can easily find the one that complements your skin tone and enhances your natural beauty.
Finding Your Perfect Blush Shade
Now that you know blush is the hot trend this summer, it's time to find the perfect shade for you. With so many options out there, it can be overwhelming to figure out where to start. But don't worry, we've got you covered!
First things first, consider the formula you want to use. Cream, powder, or liquid? Each has its own benefits, and it's important to choose one that suits your skin type and desired look. Once you figure that out, it's time to move on to shade selection.
If you're hoping for a more natural blush look, a good place to start is to look at the color you naturally "flush" like in the gym or when you go for a run. Pay attention to this color and try to mimic it by finding a similar shade. This will give you a cute, rosy-cheeked look that is perfect for any summer day.
If you're looking for a more dramatic blush, consider the undertones in your skin. Cool-toned skin works well with pink or purple blushes, while warm-toned skin pairs nicely with peach or coral shades. Neutral skin can usually pull off a variety of colors, so feel free to experiment with different hues.
Don't forget to consider your skin tone as well. Fair skin looks best with lighter, more subtle shades, while deeper skin tones can handle richer, bolder colors.
When testing out blush shades, it's important to do so in natural lighting to ensure you get an accurate representation of how it will look on your skin. Try swatching a few shades on your wrist or cheekbone to see which one works best for you.
Ultimately, finding the perfect blush shade is all about trial and error. Don't be afraid to experiment with different colors and formulas until you find the one that works best for you. With a little practice, you'll be rocking a cute, blushed look in no time!
Tips for Applying Blush Like a Pro
1. Use the right brush: Our fluffy, "everything" brush will help you apply blush smoothly and precisely.
2. Pick the right shade: Your blush should compliment your skin tone and the rest of your makeup. For a natural look, choose a shade that matches the color of your cheeks when you naturally blush.
3. Start small: It's always better to start with a little bit of blush and build up the color gradually. This way, you'll avoid going overboard and ending up with clown cheeks.
4. Smile: To find the apples of your cheeks, smile! This will make them more prominent, so you can easily apply blush where it will have the most impact.
5. Blend, blend, blend: Blending is key when it comes to applying blush. Use light, circular motions to blend the blush seamlessly into your skin.
6. Consider your face shape: Different face shapes benefit from different blush application techniques. For example, if you have a round face, applying blush along your cheekbones will help to create a more defined look.
By following these tips, you'll be able to apply blush like a pro and achieve a gorgeous, natural-looking glow this summer. Don't be afraid to experiment with different shades and application techniques until you find the perfect look for you!
