The color of blush must match to the skin and hair color and lipstick and nail polish color also. Palette of beige and pink tints is appropriate almost to everybody. All tints of beige and pink are suitable to light skin; more dark tints (coppery and coral colors) are suitable to brown sunburned skin. Orange tints are suitable to red-haired women.• If you use powder blush apply it after powder to blend it in lightly and achieve more accurate shading.
• Apply cream blush before you put on powder and blend well to define your cheek bones. Now follow with powder.
• Blush is put on at few directions. If you have an oval face put blush on the cheek-bones.
• Round faces seem to be longer if the blush is put on from temples to lip corners like triangle. There is the simplest way to put on the blush, which is appropriate to everybody. Put blush on the cheek like an oval at the nose level. If you put on too much blush, cover cheek with some quantity of light powder. The color of blush becomes softened.
• How to find more suitable color. The most important thing for choosing the right color is skin color, hair color and shape of your lips.
For light skin and blonde hair: all shades of orange, pink, purple.
For dark skin and dark hair: all shades of red, violet.
For light skin and dark hair: all shades of brown and beige.
For red hair women: coral-red, brown and bronze colors.
• To slenderize a round face, Sweep bronzer over temples, cheekbones and under your chin. Use a fluffy brush and light powder to highlight forehead, cheekbones and tip of chin.
Blush Mistakes
Lots of mistakes are made and here are just a few of them.
• Choosing too light a color. It makes no difference because you can't see it.
• Choosing too dark a color. I have seen this happen a lot. Women have two spots on their faces of color and you can spot them from 100 feet away.
• Choosing the wrong color entirely. Red lipstick and apricot blush doesn't work but you will be amazed at how often that combination has been used.
• Cream blushes used on oily skin. You might have a little color but the shine would blind you.
Right kind of Blush for you
• Cream Blush... for older women with dryer skin.
• Gel Blush... for teens who want a sheer touch of color.
• Powder Blush... most popular choice and has the longest staying power
What Color of Blush Should I Wear?
• Red lipstick... reddish or pink toned blush
• rose lipstick... rose blush
• pink lipstick... pink blush
• coral or apricot lipstick... peachy toned blush
• Brown toned lipstick... bronze shades of blush with the same undertones as the lipstick.
Create Dramatic Cheekbones
• Dust a little dark powder along the cheek hollows. This can be just a darker shade of your shadow.
• Apply blush to the "apple" of your cheeks. Don't go too close to the nose.
• Apply a highlighter to the area above your cheekbones. Just a few dots will do and then blend well so that it isn't noticeable.
Make You’re Blush Last Longer. Smooth on a little cream blush and then apply the powdered shadow in the same shade family and watch how long the color lasts now.
Just where exactly does it go? You look for the fullest part of your cheek and that’s where your blush goes. Take your blush brush and sweep the color back toward the temple. Once you have your blush in place, take a cotton ball and blend until you have just a hint of natural looking color. Make it subtle, just no strips of color.
Pluck any stray hairs between the pencil and the bridge of your nose. To pin-point where your brows should end, hold the pencil at the same place against your nose and angle it to the outer core of your eye; the spot where the pencil hits is a good stopping point.
To get the right arch angle pencil to the outer side of the pupil. The spot where the pencil hits the brow is where the top of the arch should be. Repeat on the other side. Mark both sides with a colored eyeliner to make sure they're symmetrical before you start plucking away.
Painless Plucking? If you soak your brow region under a warm, wet cloth, your pores will open up and loosen their tight grip. Using tweezers, pluck stray hairs with swift, sharp movements in the direction they grow.
Select shade of eyebrow pencil to match natural color of hair or for a more natural look use eyeshadow in a shade close to natural color of hair and very lightly apply with a fine brush.
For great eyebrows, put some lotion on your wrist and while you are coloring in your brows, dip the pencil in the lotion to make brows look more defined.
Now use your Brow & Eye Pencils in light, feathery strokes to fill in gaps. Start at brow's inner corner and taper out. Extend slightly at the outer corner and accentuate the natural arch.
Squirt a tiny bit of hairspray on the tip of your finger and then smooth over your brows for long-term hold.
How Brows Affect Your Eyes
Deep-Set Eyes: Use a pencil two shades lighter than your hair. Line top and bottom lash line with a pencil in a matching shade. Enlarge the space between the eyes and brows-raise the brows slightly by penciling in a little above the bone.
Round Eyes: Fill in brows with a shade that matches your hair. Line top lash line with a pencil in a darker, smokier shade.
Small Eyes: The softer the brow, the bigger eyes will appear. Pair a soft shade to brows and lash lines. Smudge a deeper shadow along top lash line and finish with mascara in Black Brown.
Close set eyes: widen the space between the brows a little by plucking, and extend the pencil line at the ends.
Wide set eyes: pencil eyebrows a little closer to the nose, and do not extend them out at the ends.
Bulging eyes: tweeze out any hairs that grow down too far over your eyes and raise the brows slightly from below.
Color Rules for eyebrows
If you lighten your hair two shades or more, lighten brows within two shades of your new color.
Blondes' brows are best-dressed in a light-brown pencil.
Redheads' brows look hot in an auburn pencil for day, dark-brown for night.
Brunettes' brows smolder in deep-brown tones; black is best after dark.
Eyebrows too dark?--Stroke a concealer pencil over them, followed by translucent powder. It will lighten the brows without really changing the color.
Eyebrows too light?--Have them tinted a darker shade. This will frame your eyes and if you are not good with makeup this will look the most natural. Have it done every six weeks or so. You can also purchase tinting kits at beauty supply stores if you feel confident you can do it yourself.
Quick Tips for Eyebrows
• Steam your eyebrows with a hot washcloth before tweezing. Or pluck right after a shower so hair comes out more easily.
• If skin is still too sensitive, try applying ice or a numbing toothache medicine before you begin.
• Refrigerate your eyebrow pencil for 30 minute before using to make it firmer for applying thin lines.
• To make thin brows appear thicker, first fill in sparse areas with a eyeshading pencil. Then blend and soften.
• Avoid heavy foundation on brows. This can make brows appear to be orange.
• When tweezing, pull hair out in the direction of growth. When waxing brow, put off strip in the opposite direction of grow.
• To avoid in-grown hairs, apply a toner or astringent directly after tweezing.
• Create thin, hair like lines with a brow pencil by using quick, short dots and dashes for a more natural look. Or apply a light application of mascara to shape and slightly darken your brow.
