3 tips when shopping for a blush
Discovering your skin tone can be as simple as looking at the jewellery you prefer to wear. If you feel confident wearing silver accessories, chances are you have a cool skin tone. If gold pieces complement your complexion, you likely have a warm skin tone.
Another way to determine your skin tone is to examine the colour of the veins on your wrist. If they appear green, warm skin tones prevail, and a blush in summery red hues will flatter you best. If your veins appear blue, you have a cool skin tone and winter shades are your best bet.
Choosing the correct type of blush that complements your skin type can make a significant difference to your final look:
If you have normal skin, you're in luck – feel free to experiment with any blush to find the one that suits you.
If you have oily skin, a matte blush is ideal for controlling shine.
For dry skin, choose a blush that moisturises and brightens.
For mature skin, go for a liquid blush to avoid settling in fine lines. Or consider a blush specially formulated for mature skin.
If you have sensitive skin, choose mild products that won't irritate.
When it comes to finding the right blush container, think about what you need:
- Pot of powder or cream blush is ideal if you prefer something compact and easy to carry in your handbag.
- Pallet offers a range of shades to blend and experiment with. You often get a highlighter and bronzer as an added bonus.
- Tube or stick is a great option for a quick and easy touch-up. Plus, you can simply slip it into your bag.
You got the right shade and the container, now what? Don't worry, we've got you covered with this comprehensive guide that teaches you how to apply blush like a pro.
