How to pull off a “dramatic” blush look

September 17, 2007

Sometimes, blush can be that cosmetic item that is easily overlooked. Blush adds color to your face and adds a certain warmth to a flat/dull complexation (plus, makes a great eyeshadow). A lot of people frown upon the thought of overdone/”dramatic” blush. Why!? There’s certain ways to pull off a dramatic blush look & not look like your stuck in the 80’s.

- What color blush looks good on me?.
Try rosy, peach shimmery, soft corals, & pinks because they look good on just about every complexation. When applying blush to the apple of cheeks & cheekbones, apply your blush on an angle. Blend up & blend any harsh lines away.

- Don’t cake it on.
When I say overdone/dramatic blush, this means to add a little bit more blush than you normally would on regular days.

- Minimal eye make up.
Try to keep your eye make up low key. Wear flesh tone eyeshadows to even out the color on your eye lids and mascara.

- Try a soft lip color.
Avoid bright lip colors to prevent clashing with your cheek color. Try light lip colors in peach, pink, brown, nude varities.

Dramatic blush makes a great night on the town look & paired with false eyelashes(try natural looking lashes), you’ll look like a knockout.
