Blush is a basic product that should be in any makeup bag. Compact dry blush with a satin finish, translucent baked or cream, replacing lipstick if necessary, will give a rested look, make the skin visually more attractive and healthier. What is the difference between bronzers, shimmers, luminizers and blushes, what they are, how to choose the right one - all this in the beauty cheat sheet.
What can they be?
Blush is a decorative cosmetic that varies in shade and texture, purpose and release form. Compact dry ones remain the most popular, although other worthy options have long appeared in the assortment of many brands of decorative cosmetics, both in the mass market and in luxury product lines. Compact ones can be pressed, crumbly and baked; blush is also available in the form of balls.

Cream ones contain oil components and gently care for the skin. Gel blush adds not only a seductive blush, but also radiance, reminiscent of light shimmer on the skin. Blush tints are multifunctional. Such cosmetic products can be applied to the cheeks, used as lipstick or eye shadow. On sale you can find liquid pigment, pigment balm, and stick pencil.
Blush sticks are usually firm, but soften upon application. Products with shimmer are suitable for creating shimmering evening makeup. Mousses have a weightless texture and allow you to achieve the most natural effect. An absolutely new product is cushion blush. This is a soft applicator that is impregnated with a pigmented fluid.
Appearance color types and shades
A professional makeup artist, before applying makeup to his client, visually determines the skin tone. This is the main parameter. If you have a warm undertone, you need to use a blush of the appropriate shade; if you have a cool undertone, obviously, only cool shades. An experienced makeup artist will also pay attention to:
- Hair color.
- Eye shade.
There are 4 color types of appearance, which correlate with the seasons: summer and winter, spring and autumn. The first two types are cold types of appearance, and the second two are warm. They are determined based on the degree of brightness of a person’s external features or, conversely, their mutedness.
The cold summer type of appearance is characterized by a certain “dusty” appearance of the main features. The natural hair color of representatives of this type can be either light brown or ashy. The eye color has a steel tint and can be almost anything, even hazel. A distinctive feature is the blue undertone of the skin.
What shades suit summer girls? Firstly, these are pink tones of a cold range, and secondly, these are gray-beige shades. It is better not to use coral, terracotta, brick and peach shades.
Winter, of course, refers to the cold type of appearance. Representatives of this category have a bright and memorable appearance. Often there is a contrast, for example, brunettes with a light aristocratic skin tone or light-eyed women with an olive skin tone.
Highlighters, shimmers and luminizers
Shimmers are a little different from regular pigmented blushes, although they have a lot in common with them and are often found next to each other in the same palette. Highlighters, luminizers and shimmers (essentially the same thing, the only difference is the number and size of the shimmering particles) only add radiance to the skin, but do not have a pronounced color. Thanks to reflective particles, it is possible to hide skin imperfections and small wrinkles. But shimmer is by no means a corrective tool.
Highlighter can be liquid, cream, some come in the form of powder blush or balls. Liquid ones are easy to apply and provide a thin coverage, while shimmering powders are applied with a brush. Multi-colored meteorite balls are the most popular option, as they simultaneously provide color and shine and can be used not only on the face, but also in the décolleté area. It is better to choose a cream highlighter for those with dry skin, and a liquid shimmer in a tube with a thin brush is convenient to apply in thin lines, for example, on the contour of the upper lip.
Definition
Blush is a means to highlight the contours of the face. Traditionally, they were applied to the apples of the cheeks in order to emphasize their roundness and give the face a certain symmetry. But already from the 18th century, colored powder began to be used for correction: blush was applied to the cheekbones - above or below the cheekbone line, under the eyebrows, on the temples and on the chin, which made it possible to make the face more fresh and youthful in appearance.
Contouring your face with blush
Composition of the product
The mechanism of action of blush is the same as that of foundations of different shades. A brighter and darker color compared to the rest of the skin attracts attention and focuses it on a certain element. Accordingly, in such images you can slightly change the proportions of the face. Also read about Eveline Liquid Control foundation here.
The composition of the product is simple: the vast majority of blush is made on the basis of talc - a mineral friable powder that is slightly greasy to the touch. Talc is mixed with dye - carmine, cochineal, safflower dye or synthetic pigments. Traditionally, the best option is a product with carmine.
Composition of Lambre blush
In addition, the composition includes rose water, lanolin, and zinc oxide. The latter serves as a kind of hardener. Some varieties also contain various waxes in addition to lanolin, mineral oils, and esters. In the version with glitter, pearl particles are added.
Classification
Modern blush comes in a variety of forms, which, of course, is much more convenient. However, it is worth considering that the properties of the compositions will differ somewhat, and this applies not only to fat content, for example, or durability, but also to shade.
- Powder is the oldest type of blush. True, now the powder is pressed, so we are talking more about the form of a compact powder rather than a powder. This option is ideal for those with oily and combination skin, as the powder removes oily shine and masks minor skin irregularities. It is among this form that you can find mineral cosmetics.
Blush - powder
Apply the powder with a brush - the sponge creates a layer that is too dense. The color of blush in powder form can be considered the standard.
- Baked - a type of compact. They differ in an unusual production method: all components of the powder are mixed and baked at temperatures not lower than 40 C. The resulting structure is silky, and the color becomes more intense compared to regular and compact blushes.
- The cream is developed for women with dry skin. The creamy texture is easier to apply, absorbs faster, and fits perfectly onto foundation. After applying the product, you should lightly powder your face to get rid of excess shine. You can find out how to choose powder in this material.
Baked blush from Chanel
Cream blush includes mineral oils, moisturizing and even nourishing ingredients. They are applied with your fingers. This option is preferred by professional makeup artists when working with evening makeup.
- Liquid - or rather, gel. The specific structure is very easy to apply to normal and combination skin and sets quickly. The gel contains oils and little water and is very resistant to moisture. This product is recommended for use by women with a pale and gray complexion, with aging skin, as the gel gives it a healthy glow.
- Ball ones are very economical. They store well and can both remove excess shine and add it, depending on the composition. As a rule, the mixture includes balls of 2-3 shades, which allows you to vary the color of your “blush”. The product is applied with a brush, the skin looks very natural and bright.
- Foam is similar in composition to gels, but in addition to fats it also contains a lot of water. The foam is applied to a clean face, never on powder, and combines well with foundation. This form is not very popular, as it requires a certain skill.
Roll-on blush
Blush is applied with your fingers: first, place several dots on the desired area, and then shade it. The foam dries very quickly and the blush cannot be corrected in the future; you will have to remove it with cosmetic milk and reapply.
- Bronzer - this group includes all options that have the color of tanned skin, from golden to dark bronze. Bronzer is used much more widely: it can replace powder when you want to tan your face. You can find out more about bronzers in the article.
Shiny - small particles of mother-of-pearl are added to this composition, which gives the skin a somewhat unnatural, “festive” shine. This option is purely decorative, which must be taken into account when applying: blush is applied to the cheekbones, to areas under the eyebrows or near the outer corners of the eyes. The composition is not applied to the chin, temples, apples of the cheeks, that is, where healthy skin usually has a brighter pink tint. Find out how to choose foundation for dry skin here.

Special bronzers or bronze-colored blushes imitate or highlight a tan and have a slight glow. Decorative cosmetics can be matte or shiny. Matte bronzers are used primarily to sculpt the face, while shiny bronzers give the skin a subtle glow.
The bronzer is suitable for the warm season, for dark-skinned or tanned girls, for evening makeup. Apply the same as regular blush. A shimmer-free matte bronzer can be used under the jaw to hide a double chin, on the nose to shape the shape, etc., but never all over the face.
Blush for blondes
If you have fair hair and skin, then for daytime makeup choose translucent light blush. Peach shades are suitable for gray, blue or green eyes; for brown eyes, choose beige or brown blush. Pinkish colors also work well for fair skin. Look at the palettes and you will be able to decide how to choose the blush color for yourself.
For tanned skin, choose a blush that is a little richer, but not bright, it will look vulgar. And also highlight your cheekbones with highlighter.
What is included in blush
The composition depends on the form of release of decorative cosmetics. Cream and liquid blush are made on a silicone or gel base with the addition of pigment, wax and caring components, sometimes mattifying talc or kaolin. The basis of dry blush is mineral powder or talc; shimmering ones additionally contain small glitter or mother-of-pearl. Manufacturers add components to matte products that control oily shine. Bronzing blush contains shimmering gold and bronze pigments. The most natural tint cosmetics contain saffron, carmine and safflower, and not synthetic pigments.
Benefits of blush
Like all decorative cosmetics, this product has a main function - to hide imperfections of the skin (dullness, pallor) and facial structure, to draw attention to the advantages (beautiful eyes, cheekbones), and also to give the face a healthy look.
In addition, such a color accent helps to “remove” several years (or dozens), visually rejuvenate the face and add a touch of freshness, as if a girl or woman has just returned from a frosty street, and a slight natural blush is reflected on the face.
The most popular blush shades
Many shades of pink allow every woman to find her natural blush. Light ones are suitable for discreet daytime makeup, and dark pinkish-beige ones will look great on tanned skin or complement evening makeup. Peach blush gives the skin a rested and fresh look.

Red tones of blush should be applied very carefully. Only dark-haired, dark-skinned women can afford rich shades. In addition, such bright cosmetics must be applied in a very thin layer and carefully shaded. Bronze highlights the tan, but the color should not be more than two shades darker than the skin. Brown blush with terracotta, pink or red tints is suitable for red-haired women.
White blush is becoming popular, which is applied to the cheekbones, cheeks, bridge of the nose, chin, usually just above the tinted cosmetics. This technique is used by professional makeup artists to give the face radiance and the skin a well-groomed look. White blush is indispensable when preparing for a photo shoot, but in everyday life it looks unnatural.
Beige shades are the closest to natural. Light tones are suitable for those with pale skin, while rich beige can be applied to tanned or dark skin. These blushes are used mainly to create an invisible make-up in the popular nude style or for mono-makeup. By the way, liquid tints are indispensable for fashionable mono-makeup.
Features of applying blush
We have already mentioned that blush has different textures. Now let's look at how to apply blush correctly, taking into account its format.
Dry pressed (compact)
Dry blush is available in two formats: compact pressed and loose. In general, this blush is suitable for everyone, especially people with skin prone to excessive sebum production. Dry blush will not give “extra” shine and the effect of “wet” makeup will not work either.
Pressed blush is usually applied with a brush that is already in the palette. A natural fluffy brush and your own fingers are also suitable for shading, it all depends on the desired result. Therefore, dry blush is easy to use and is suitable for non-avid beautyholics.
Friable
You can't apply loose blush with your fingers, so you can't do without a fluffy brush. Be sure to shake off excess product from the lint, otherwise there is a risk of overdoing it, and not in a good way. Loose blush is mainly applied by professional makeup artists.
The pigmentation of both pressed and loose blush depends on the brand and collection of blush, as well as their color. The more layers, the brighter the blush without a “dirty” finish. Also, dry blush can be matte, pearlescent or with shimmer, so there is plenty to choose from.
Blush in balls
Let's start with the fact that it is beautiful. Even just keep it in your collection. Many beauty shops are happy to collect all Guerlain meteorite blushes. But they are not the only ones who have blush balls.
They are sold in a jar, and inside are compressed blush balls. Often they are different in one package: pink, beige, gold, purple. And every time you mix colors, you get a different effect. And yes, basically they give the face more of a soft glow (almost like a highlighter) and a bit of color rather than a strong pigment.
And we think you already guessed it, without a beveled and fluffy brush, so that the product lies almost invisible, like a veil.
As for your skin type: if you have dry skin, moisturize your skin well before applying blush balls. And if you have oily or combination skin, then you don’t have to worry.
Cream
You will find them in jars with a lid, in sticks or tubes.
Cream blush is primarily suitable for those with dry skin. Yes, they are unlikely to additionally moisturize the skin (even though the appropriate ingredients are added there), but they obviously will not dry it out. But if your skin tends to shine without additional shine, then cream blush is not your option.
This blush is a great candidate for creating a dewy look. Cream textures fit well on foundation or simply on moisturized skin without tone, but on powdered skin they can roll off.
Cream blush should be applied to the apples of the cheeks, and also slightly extending them towards the temples. By the way, some people still use this texture for draping, so feel free to experiment. If you are a fan of anime and this style of makeup, try applying a little cream blush just above your cheeks, as if under your eyes, for a cute cartoon look. Shouting “kawaii” is encouraged.
You can use and blend with your fingers thanks to its light texture. If you are squeamish, then take a duofiber brush with an even cut or beveled. The currently popular brushes are also suitable.
Liquid or gel
Similarly with cream ones, they are suitable for everyone except girls with too oily skin. Sometimes nourishing ingredients are added to such blush, so dry skin will say “thank you.”
Liquid blush is often sold in tint format, which can be applied to both cheeks and lips. And if desired, on the eyes, if they are not prone to sensitivity.
They say that liquid blush runs off quickly. But this will not happen if you properly prepare your skin - apply foundation, BB cream or primer.
You can also apply liquid or gel blush with your fingers, duofiber with an even cut, or an angled brush or brush.
In stick
Also cream blush, but sold in sticks or wide pencils, depending on your preference.
Their advantage is that you don’t need any brush to apply them, because the stick itself replaces it. So feel free to apply blush directly to your cheeks or cheekbones. Blend a little with your fingers.
Palettes for quick make-up
Collecting all the makeup products you need under one lid is a great idea. Cosmetics manufacturers are increasingly making their products multifunctional, which is very convenient. A good choice is the Naked Flush express makeup palette. This is a palette: blush, highlighter and bronzer. Each product is rich in pigments, so your skin will look fresh and your facial features will become more expressive after the first stroke of the brush. Each of the three versatile shades can be used as eyeshadow.
Several different shades of blush (beauty product photo above) are in the Color Riche Lip Palette. Each of the six shades can be used independently or mixed with others. In general, these are creamy lipsticks with a light texture, but they also performed well as blushes. It is more convenient to apply decorative cosmetics to the skin with your fingers and then carefully blend. There are two palettes to choose from: soft nude shades and bright red ones. Women leave rave reviews about this product. The light Color Riche Lip Palette is suitable for lovers of natural makeup, and the bright one is a good choice for those who just can’t find the perfect shade of red lipstick.

The choice of blush depends on many aspects: skin type, skin color, face shape, hair color. Therefore, choosing the right blush is quite difficult. However, blush is the basis of a complete makeup look, so you still have to choose it. What should you consider when choosing blush?
Blush depending on skin type
For each skin type it is worth choosing your own blush texture. For girls with oily skin, dry loose powder blush is an ideal option. For those with dry skin, blush in the form of cream in jars or in stick form is suitable. They moisturize and nourish the skin well. Cream-based blush is suitable for mature skin. This type of blush fits perfectly on the skin and looks quite natural. For normal skin, you can use any convenient type of blush.
Blush depending on skin color
The first rule for choosing blush for your skin: the lighter the skin, the lighter the tone of the blush, and the darker it is, the richer the color of the blush should be. You should always have blush of different shades in your cosmetic bag so that they match the skin tone exactly - for every day, darker ones - for the evening, golden shade - for a summer tan. For those with fair skin, blush in cool pink shades is suitable. This shade will give the skin a soft appearance. If you take a darker color, the result will be more impressive. Dark tones are suitable for dark and tanned representatives of the fair sex. These shades will add tenderness and highlight your tan. Bright colors will add liveliness and lightness to your makeup. For medium-colored skin, you should not choose light or dark tones. They will stand out and look contrasting. For this skin color there are special blushes in medium soft shades.
Selecting blush depending on your face shape
Those with an oval face should choose intermediate shades of blush – neither dark nor light. This blush should highlight your cheekbones. Light blush should be chosen by girls with a triangular face shape. Dark shades of blush will help correct the shape of a wide face. Depending on the application of blush, you can also influence the shape of the face, emphasize this or that, or emphasize something.
How does blush color help?
Pink and coral shades will add freshness to your face. These shades should be used if you want to create the effect of cheerfulness and optimism. Brown blush will highlight the texture of the face. But the most natural color will look close to natural. Try to choose a shade that matches your cheeks after a walk. Blush with shimmering pigments helps hide signs of fatigue better than others. They hide lack of sleep and fatigue very well.
Choosing blush according to hair color
Blondes are the best when it comes to choosing blush. Almost all shades suit them. The main thing is that there is little blush. You should also blend the blush very well. The shade of blush should first of all be in harmony with the natural shade of the skin. Blush with glitter is good for evening makeup; blush with shimmering pigments will also be relevant. Light beige and pink shades are a must-have in a blonde's makeup bag. Brunettes are advised to use warm shades for makeup: coral, peach, beige. Orange blush is absolutely not suitable for brunettes. They create the effect of diseased skin. Bright pink blush is also not suitable for brunettes. But coral tones perfectly highlight facial features. For red-haired girls and dark-haired girls, tones matched to the hair color - red and dark brown - are suitable. The basic rule for choosing blush is that it matches your skin tone and harmoniously matches your eye and hair color.
What types of blush are there?
There are several types of blush: dry, cream blush, foam and gel. Dry blush can be simply applied to the skin in any quantity. With their help you can achieve any shade; they correct the shape of the face better than others. The only downside is that they must only be used with powder, otherwise the makeup will not look natural. Cream blushes apply faster than dry blushes. In addition, they moisturize and nourish the skin. They can only be used without powder; they wear off quickly. Blush that lasts a long time on the surface of the face is a foam blush. But this type of blush has a huge disadvantage. It is very difficult to regulate the volume of blush, and besides, you can only adjust its application while it is wet. If makeup is applied incorrectly, it cannot be corrected. This type of blush is also used without powder. Blush hardens most quickly in the form of a gel or mousse. They are used by professionals who are confident that they can apply makeup quickly and correctly.
Beautiful makeup is the basis of a girl’s success, and the right blush is a big part of success. In the right combination with your skin, they will highlight your beauty and uniqueness.

The best blush for every taste
Blush reviews often mention the bright neon coral shade Galifornia from Benefit. This product is made using a unique technology when pigments are mixed not with a white dry base, but with a gel, and still remain powdery. The unusual packaging design and the brush with a turquoise wooden handle are also pleasing. This pleasure costs 2450 rubles.
A luxury product in every sense is Rose Aux Joues Blush Tender in shade 03 (Peach Party) from Guerlain. A very delicate peach shade, almost imperceptible shimmer with tiny particles that do not reveal minor skin imperfections, but only highlight the advantages - this is all about Rose Aux Joues Blush Tender. The product stays on the cheeks all day and is easy to apply and blend.
You should definitely pay attention to the “chubby stick”, which launched the fashion for cosmetics in cream sticks and became a truly cult product. Chubby Stick Cheek Color Balm (02 shade, Robust Rhubarb) from the Clinique brand is a cream blush with a surprisingly pleasant texture, due to which the product not only shades well, but also dissolves on the skin. The result is a very natural effect.
How to properly apply blush to different face shapes: step-by-step instructions
Perhaps the most important point in this material is about how to apply blush correctly. The effect largely depends on the type of face you use, so read carefully and take notes.
Square face
With the help of blush you can visually make your face rounder and more prominent. Apply blush to the middle of your cheeks and blend well in a circular motion. This way you will focus on the middle of the face.
Oval face
Or an elongated face shape. Apply blush to the prominent parts of your cheekbones, blending them almost to your ears. And a little blush on the temples wouldn't hurt either.
Round face
Girls with a round face shape do not particularly like blush, because it additionally emphasizes the cheeks. This is not always the right decision.
Add blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend it diagonally across your cheekbones - this way you can emphasize your cheekbones and slightly narrow your face.
Triangular face
In this case, the emphasis should also be on the center of the face. Apply blush to your cheekbones in a slightly semicircular manner, moving the brush toward your temples.
Thin face
Light blush on the cheeks looks best: pale pink, soft peach and almost transparent lilac.
By the way, a thin face can be made more voluminous. To do this, apply dark blush horizontally under the cheekbones, parallel to the chin. For convenience, draw in your cheeks and swipe the blush directly along the hollow. Add highlighter to your cheekbones towards your temple.
How to apply highlighter. What is a highlighter and how to choose it correctly

Before you figure out how to use highlighter for the face and how to apply it, you need to find out what it actually is and how to choose the right cosmetic product just for you. Many people mistakenly believe that highlighter should be applied in the same way as foundation, concealer, corrector or powder, but this is completely wrong. That’s why many people, having tried to apply the product only once on the entire plane of the face, never return to it, since the impression is not the best.
What is a highlighter for?
You can figure out how to use highlighter only after you understand what it is and what it is used for. This cosmetic product is intended to visually correct the shape and size of the face as a whole, as well as its individual parts in particular. For example, using highlighter you can make your eyes, forehead and nose appear larger, elongate your chin, make your cheekbones more prominent, and so on.
Correct consistency and purpose
A highlighter will not help to disguise any skin imperfections. Moreover, by using such a product, you can achieve just the opposite result, that is, by covering problem areas with highlighter, you, on the contrary, will attract even more attention to them. This product brightens some areas of the face, making them visually more pronounced, prominent, and convex.

- To apply to the entire face, it is most convenient to use a loose, powder-like highlighter. The easiest way to do this is with a wide and soft brush, just like applying powder, on top of already applied makeup. Most often, such a product is recommended exclusively for evening makeup, so it is better to refrain from using it during the day.
- To highlight individual areas, for example, the forehead, cheekbones, chin or nose, it is better to purchase a compact highlighter or one that has a creamy structure.
- For spot application, for example, to highlight eyes and small details, you can use the product in sticks or in the form of pencils, which are also commercially available.
Particular attention will need to be paid to shading, since the boundaries of the application of the cosmetic product should never be visible, otherwise the face will look like a clown mask. Therefore, when purchasing a highlighter of any form, check how well it shades, which can be done on your own hand in the wrist area.
Selecting a shade
In modern stores you can purchase hundreds of types and types of highlighters, which have a wide variety of release forms. They can be loose, like powder, or creamy, in sticks and pencils, in the form of balls, or completely liquid. Everyone will definitely find for themselves exactly what suits their skin type and tone most accurately. To figure out how to use highlighter correctly, it makes sense to apply a little product to your hand, dry it and then see how suitable the chosen option is for you.

- For naturally tanned or slightly dark skin, a golden or bronze highlighter is best, which will definitely refresh the tone, giving it radiance and youth.
- Peach-colored products are best suited for those with olive or slightly yellowish skin.
- Girls with pale skin can choose a silver highlighter, and white-skinned girls with a tendency to various redness will definitely find the ideal option with lilac and pink pigments that will highlight imperfections in the best possible way.
The use of highlighters is also allowed for those who simply want to give their skin radiance and shine, which is important, for example, in evening makeup. Recently, the use of soft pink, slightly violet, lavender and even bluish shades of highlighter has become very fashionable. In general, you should definitely experiment, otherwise you won’t be able to choose the best.
Bronzer. Bronzer: what is it and why do you need bronzer for the face?
Bronzer is a cosmetic product that can be used to make your face tanned. It is fundamentally different from self-tanning, which stays on the skin for a long time.
What is a facial bronzer for? With it you can:
- improve complexion;
- hide minor skin imperfections;
- sculpt your face.
Why do you need bronzer and what is its role in improving complexion? This product can make your face slightly or deeply tanned in a few minutes. This is very convenient if a woman spends a lot of time indoors and simply does not have time to sunbathe. Face bronzer is something that will help her not stand out as pale.
Why do you need bronzer for the face if a woman has already been to the sea and managed to acquire a natural dark skin tone? In this case, a special product may also be needed, because sometimes the tan does not lie evenly and does not look very good. In this case, bronzer comes in handy. It will even out the color, making it uniform.
Why do you need a bronzer for your face if a woman is not really interested in tanning? Using this product you can shade those areas of the skin that you would like to hide. True, this will only work with minor flaws. Bronzer will not be able to hide large pimples and blackheads, but will even highlight them to some extent.
With the help of bronzer and highlighter, you can sculpt your face, that is, make it visually the way you want. Bronzer will hide some areas, highlighter will make something more voluminous and visible. This way you will get the optimal look and beautiful makeup.
There are also bronzers for tanning salons, what are they and why use them? In a solarium, women can get a tan similar to their natural one. But even here, it is not always possible to immediately obtain the desired skin tone. It is quite difficult for fair women to immediately become “chocolate”. To speed up the desired result, you can use special creams with bronzers. With them, the tan in the solarium “clings” to the skin faster.
Once you know what bronzer and highlighter are for, you can start choosing the product.
It's classic and stylish
Yes, lately many people prefer to use highlighter to highlight certain areas of the face and make them fresher and lighter. Others opted for bronzer, preferring darker shades. These are new fashion items, no one can be blamed for using them. All methods are good, everyone chooses cosmetics themselves. But blush is a classic, like Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn. They give your face freshness and youth instantly, and are also incredibly easy to use. You don't need six brushes, eight items, or watch Instagram or YouTube tutorials to figure out how to apply blush correctly. All you have to do is choose a versatile pink or peach shade that looks great on any skin and apply it to your cheekbones.

What base should I apply blush on?
Blush looks equally good on clean, pre-prepared skin and pre-treated skin. In the first case, we use daily care with tonic, lotion, serum and moisturizer, depending on the skin type, in the second, we apply foundation or concealer locally to problem areas of the skin to hide obvious imperfections, for example, dark circles under the eyes.
