Find out how to use this item in your everyday makeup

It is not new that the makeup industry invests in different types of cosmetics to enhance beauty. Whether on the catwalks, in the cinemas and even in our daily routine, there is no denying the power that well-done makeup brings to our image. Blush is one of the most used cosmetics, and comes in a wide variety of colors and can be found in different makeup brands.

Types of blush

There are currently three types of blush: creamy (also known as “stick”), liquid and powder, the latter being the most common. Each formula must be used in a different way, and brings different results in the end.

To use liquid blush, you should preferably use a sponge, using little product, so as not to overdo the quantity. A brush can also be used with this type, and leaves a more natural finish to the skin, without making it look like you are using makeup to make your face more flushed.

Powder blush must be applied with the help of a brush, which has soft bristles so that it is possible to blend the product, which is seen as the most classic and of the highest quality when compared to other types.

The creamy or “stick” is very similar to a lipstick, and you can apply it directly to the skin. The shape of the blush allows for more practical and quick makeup, and you can even use your fingers to finish applying the product. Still, it is advisable to use brushes or sponges to avoid ruining your makeup if there is already foundation on your skin.

Which one to choose?

Your choice may depend on the type of textures you prefer or find easier to use. There's no need to worry about your skin type: as long as your face is hydrated and you've prepared your skin to receive the product (with a primer or foundation, for example), applying the blush won't be difficult.

Variety of colors and shades

The product can be found in different color tones. You can use whatever color you want, without necessarily trying to match the product to your skin color. It is advisable to choose tones that are in harmony and match the rest of the makeup or look you choose to wear.

If you have any questions, you can consult professional makeup artists who can help you with your choice, in addition to having several videos of makeup tips that influencers share on their social networks.
