Right Blusher for the Right Type of Skin
Copyright 2005 Tania http://www.ultimate-cosmetics.com
Gone are the days when women stuck to one color blusher usually
pinks or peaches. Now days, blushers come in a whole new variety
of colors and different formulations. There are vast array of
clever new formulas. The main choices are traditional powder, a
cream texture, a modern liquid or a gel finish. So there is
certainly one out there to suit your skin type.
Powder blush is the easiest to use. If you prefer this type,
choose one that isn't too sparkly or it'll enhance your
wrinkles. Shimmery blushers are far kinder to mature skin as
they diffuse fine lines, making the delicate skin around your
cheeks look younger. And as your skin feels drier as you get
older, you could also try moisturizing cream formula that gives
a flattering sheen to your skin.
All Skin Types Right type: LIQUID CHEEK STAINS Reason: They're
excellent for all skin types and face shapes, as you can use a
little to achieve a natural flush of color, or layer to build up
the shading to an intense hue that will last all through the
day. How to apply: They work best on bare cheeks and need to be
applied quickly to avoid mistakes. Apply powder blusher over
cheek stains for ultimate staying powder.
Dry or Combination Skin Right type: CREAM Reason: Cream blusher
is the best if you have dry to combination skin as there's no
powder to sit on your dry patches. Also, the texture helps your
skin maintain a natural , luminous glow. How to apply: It's easy
to apply on bare skin or over foundation. If you have a round
face don't shade apples of your cheek instead apply it on your
cheekbones, slanting towards your temples.
Oily Skin Right type: POWDER Reason: It's classic, and perfect
for achieving dense color coverage. It's the best texture for
contouring your cheekbones, and is ideal for oily skin as it
lies well on your skin's surface and reduces shine. How to
apply: Sweep on to your cheeks in a croissant shape for a
natural - looking flush.
Mature Skin Right type: GEL OR MOUSSE Reason: Mousse and gel
formulas are great for mature skins and if you want a subtle
result. They can be worn alone on bare skin or layered over
foundation, before powder, and are less fiddy to use than liquid
stains. All mousse formulas offer pretty velvety finish and are
really smooth to apply. How to apply: When putting on gel or
mousse blusher, tap it gently on to your cheeks and blend
upwards and outwards with your fingertips. But don't apply it on
top of your make- up as you will not be able to blend it.
