Blusher
Once again there are different types and shades of blusher…
Powder- This
is a good option for all skin types, provides long lasting colour but not as
long as liquid and are very easy to blend. It’s best applied after foundation
and powder because it lies on top of the makeup and gives a natural glow. Like
the loose powder in foundation and concealer, it can get messy. So it’s not the
quickest or easiest to apply so I’d go for the pressed powder option. You can
also build the colour by putting some on and if you want a more stronger
colour you can apply some more and
easily blend it in.
Liquid- This
includes creams, gels, cheek tints and stains. Creams and gels tend to come in
a small pot or sometimes in a stick. Tints and stains come in little bottles
that look like nail varnishes and range from thick to almost water consistency.
These are better if you want long lasting colour they also don’t fade as much
as powder. Although these are a lot harder to blend, once you’ve put them on
your cheeks it is very easy to get marks and streaks this can make you look
like you have too much on (they can also stain your fingers if you don’t wash
it off quickly). You have to be quite careful with these because if you find
you’ve put too much on or you have lines you’ll have to take it all off and
start again whereas with powder you can just blend it out.
