Blushes are staple make- up products in a Beauty Junkee's stash. Every color gives a surge of glow on a cheek. It instantly blooms up a dull or a stressed face and it never fails to naturally enhance one's beauty.
Know what the colors are for:
PEACH, GOLD AND CORAL- For a sun- kissed look
PINKS, REDS AND ROSE- For a blooming, just- pinched, and pretty look
BROWNS, BEIGES, MAUVES- For a natural flush; also works for contouring
BLUSH VARIANTS:
Liquid
Gel
Cream/ Mousse
Powder
But not all kinds of blushes will work on skin types. As far as skin types are concerned, different blush types were created to suit a specific skin type.
Let's now go to the kinds of blushes and know what will best suit your skin type:
DRY SKIN
- If you see white, blotchy patches on your cheeks, nose, and chin, and in some worse cases, you have cracked skin, chances are, you have dry skin. Dry skin is quite a problem as it is rough and powders and creams might further enhance the patches.
BEST BLUSH FOR YOUR SKIN TYPE:
Liquid and Gel
-These are more likely to quench your dry skin. But you must always blend these right away for it can dry up easily on your patches, leaving you with nasty red marks.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO USE OTHER VARIANTS?
- You can, actually. If you want to use a powder blush, just make sure you prepare your skin by applying moisturizer underneath then set it with powder. That way, the moisturizer will act like lotion in keeping your skin nourished all throughout the day. Cream blushes may have a hard time setting evenly on your skin as it can leave patchy marks on your cheek surface.
OILY SKIN
- If your T- Zone (Forehead, nose, area below the nose and chin) becomes greasy, or if your cheeks are quite shiny and slimy- feeling, you probably have oily skin. Oil excreted by the skin can make your make- up run off from your face easily, just like how oil is used to remove make- up.
BEST BLUSH FOR YOUR SKIN TYPE:
Powder
- Powder is definitely one way to battle oil so powder blushes will work in absorbing oil while providing color. Powder blushes have the tendency to stay longer on oily skin.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO USE OTHER VARIANTS?
- Yes, you can. Liquid and Gel blushes will work if you use an oil- free moisturizer underneath. Set your face with powder then apply the liquid or gel blush on your cheeks then lightly dust some powder on it to seal it. However, you may need to apply it after some time during wear. Cream blush may not work well because it has mineral oils that can aggravate your oily skin and it can also run- off easily.
COMBINATION SKIN
- If you have an oily t- zone with some patches on your cheeks, chin or nose, You may have combination skin. Combination skin can be quite a problem since you have to deal with two skin types.
BEST BLUSH FOR YOU SKIN TYPE:
Liquid and Powder
- You have to know if your skin is more patchy than oily or vice versa. If it's more on the oily side, use a powder blush, If your cheeks are more rough than oily, use liquid or gel blush
WOULD YOU LIKE TO USE OTHER VARIANTS?
- Of course you can. Again, make sure you prep your skin properly. It's better to use a moisturizer or primer specifically made for Combination skin so your combination skin is tamed a bit before make- up. You may opt to use Gel blush since it's dewy properties can help in quenching your skin surface more.
NORMAL SKIN
- Congratulations! You absolutely can use any blush variants since you're worry- free.
BEST BLUSH FOR YOUR SKIN TYPE:
Cream/Mousse
- Cream blushes provide a very dewy effect on the skin so you have all the right to use it on your skin. It is very pigmented and it can last long as well. Again, for make- up to stay longer, you still have to prepare your skin before make- up application.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO USE OTHER VARIANTS?
- Of course you can! Powder, Liquid or Gel, feel free to choose! :)
