It’s time to rock those rosy cheeks! Blush is the perfect way to instantly add life and vibrancy to your face. And bold blush means heaps of confidence, especially when you’re rocking a party and have all eyes on you. So, let’s learn all the steps you need to know to do an amazing bold blush application.
Gather Your Supplies
To get the perfect bold blush makeup look, it’s important that you have the right materials. Here’s what you’ll need:
- a foundation or BB cream
- highlighter
- blush in a shade that suits your skin
- makeup brushes: a foundation brush and a blush brush
Apply the Base Layer and Highlighter
Once you have all your products gathered, the next step is to apply the base layer and the highlighter. Use your foundation brush and choose the right one for your skin type. This will provide a smooth canvas for the bold blush we are planning for. Apply the highlighter and blend it with the brush.
Bring Life With A Bold Blush
Now it’s time to use the star of the show – the bold blush. Take the blush brush and dab it in the chosen color of blush. Don’t take too much, because you don’t want to overdo the look. Take a look at yourself in the mirror and apply the blush in the natural shape of your cheeks. Blend your blush until it’s absorbed into your skin. Apply more if you deem it necessary.
Blushing can really bring life to your features and complete the makeup look. So practice your bold blush application and you’ll be bringing out the confident, beautiful you in no time!
2. Preparing Your Blush Palette
A perfect blush palette is key for those beautiful cheekbones so that your face glows all day. Fortunately, building the perfect blush palette doesn’t have to be a daunting task. Here are the building steps:
- Choose the colour. Natural blush colours such as light pink, peach, or sheer orange would be ideal for both day and night looks. Try to stick to colors that complement your skin rather than heavily contrasting it.
- Check the formula. Make sure the blush is creamy yet blendable, as it would make application much easier.
- Be sure it lasts. Look for a formula that’s long-lasting and has a great staying power.
Select the right brush. It’s important to pick the right brush when it comes to blush application. A medium-sized blush brush is ideal since it gives you more control in blending and adding colour to the desired areas.
Cheat where needed. Now it’s time to get creative! If you don’t want to use a brush or get stuck in the process, you can always go for a blush stick. These are great for applying blush on the go and provide quick and subtle colour.
3. Preparing Your Face for a Dramatic Blush Look
When it comes to creating a dramatic blush look, the most important step is a proper facial prep. Giving your face the right foundation for this kind of makeup will make all the difference in the final product. Here are starters to prepare your face for a blush look that stops them in their tracks.
1. Primer and Foundation: Prep begins with primer. It preps the surface of the skin to create a better bond between skin and foundation. Use a liquid-based foundation to layer and cover any dark spots or other blemishes. Work it in with a beauty sponge, and blend outward for maximum coverage.
2. Concealer and Highlighter: Now add concealer to the areas that need it most. It’s particularly useful for covering up under-eye circles and blemishes. Follow that with a creamy highlighter, which can be strategically placed on the corner of the eye, chin, and Cupid’s bow. This will add a subtle glow to the complexion.
3. Powder: After all the other steps are completed, it’s time to add a layer of translucent or light colored powder to the area that doesn’t need as much coverage. This will help set the foundation and maintain that perfect look.
These are the basics of prepping your face for a dramatic blush look. Once these steps are done, the only thing left to do is to blush away!
4. Applying the Blush for Rosy Cheeks
Applying blush is an art and can take trying out different techniques, depending on which look you’re going for. But when it comes to a rosy hue, there are a few main tips to follow.
- Choose the right colour
When choosing the colour of your blush, make sure to match it to your natural skin tone for a healthy, natural look. If you’re going for more of a bright pink hue, opt for a shade lighter than you think. Intense colours will look too unnatural if they’re too bright.
- Choose the right brush
A rosy hue will require a fine blush brush. This way, you can easily control the intensity and create a more natural-looking blend. For an all-over colour, use a fluffy brush.
- Apply with light pressure
Using the blush brush, sweep the colour across the cheekbones and blend upwards. Doing this with light pressure will give you a more natural, uniform colour.
5. Finishing the Bold Blush Look
Once you have selected your favorite blush and foundation colors, the finishing touches can really take your bold blush look to the next level. Here are a few tips and tricks to help you complete this eye-catching style:
- Contour and Highlight: To really make your cheekbones pop, be sure to use a shade of bronzer and highlighter. This will help bring out the best of your bold blush look.
- Eyeshadow: Soft and neutral eyeshadow hues help to balance out the bright blush look. Pick an eyeshadow shade that is the opposite of the shade you chose for your blush.
- Defined Eyeliner: Sharpen up any eyeliner you’re wearing with a nice bold and clean line. This will help bring out your eyes without taking away from the bold blush look.
- Set and Refresh: Make sure to seal in your bold blush look with a light dusting of setting powder. Refresh your look throughout the day with a facial mist to ensure your bold blush stays on the whole day.
With these tips and tricks, you should be all set to rock any event, party, or look with your dynamic bold blush look. The combination of the right blush, eyeshadow, and eyeliner will be sure to make heads turn and have you feeling gorgeous!
Regardless of how daring you’re feeling, this tutorial shows us that blush can be a transformative tool that will give us the perfect rosy and dramatic effect. Remember, keep your foundation and lips natural and you’ll be on your way to mastering the bold blush makeup look.
