4 Tips to Help You Avoid Blush Blindness for a Pretty Flush
Blush is a must for beauty lovers and trend followers, but you don’t need a lot of blush to achieve the perfect flush. Whether it’s a pressed, cream, or powder blush, gently glide and diffuse the pigment where you like it for a gentle touch of pink, coral, red, or lavender. If you’ve noticed that your blush has started looking a little heavy, or you want to continue avoiding blush blindness, the following tips will help you get through summer with just the right amount of rosiness.
Use One Blush Product
Some makeup lovers might want to try using more than one blush, but
sticking to one product can save you from accidentally overdoing it. A
cream or powder blush that diffuses easily using a high-quality makeup brush
will help your complexion have that perfect, trending flush. Whether
it’s a boyfriend blush or a face draping effect, you only need one blush
product to make it work. If you prefer a brighter and more noticeable
blush with two products, it’s your look and your art, so go for it. Just
know that it could look less like a natural flush.
Buff Out Your Blush
Another easy way to avoid blush blindness is to buff your blush with a clean cosmetic brush.
If you don’t have a spare clean brush, you can use a brush cleaning mat
to remove the pigment from your blush brush and buff out the blush on
your cheeks, brow bones, and nose to look seamless and natural. You only
need to buff the edges to make it blend better, so move your brush in
gentle, circular motions to diffuse the pigment.
Blend and Diffuse Excess Color
If you have excess color and buffing the edges seems impossible, you
can blend and diffuse color with a touch of foundation or concealer over
your blush. A clean foundation brush
will diffuse the color and help you blend in concealer to reduce the
blushy pink, coral, or purple pigment. This is a great trick to use if
you’re experienced with makeup and know your way around beauty hacks. If
you use a concealer, you can highlight the corners of your eyes in the
same step you use to diffuse the blush. You can use this technique if
you’re also going for a draping effect with your brush.
Own Your Flush
There will be days when you just have to own the blush, even if you
think you’re skirting the line of blush blindness. It’s not overdoing it
if you do it with intention. Some makeup looks lean into lots of color
and a big, bold flush that carries from your cheeks to your nose to your
eyes and brow bones. This cohesive color makes the overt level of blush
look intentional, so you have to own it because there’s no going back
from this bright flush. It’s a fun look for a night out with friends or
even a fancy brunch.
We’ve all experienced accidentally
overapplying blush. Yet, you can come out of blush blindness and enjoy
the look of a pretty kiss of color over your cheekbones or lean into the
bold flush.
