Ah blush! It’s a must for looking fresh and alive. A sign
of youth, passion, health, love, activity and joy, no
wonder so many products compete to help us fake a
flushed glow. My favorites create a natural-looking
blush– a modern twist on cherub-cheek. Master portrait
artists knew how to paint the perfect, angelic flush and
I have spent years trying to replicate their work. Now I
think I have it. And if you follow these steps, so will
you.
Different Techniques
1. Powder blush works for everyone. I love to apply it
with a large powder brush. Dip the brush in a pinky
coral shade (a universally pretty tone) and apply on the
apples of the cheeks. Blending is key. Banish harsh lines
and splotches. For more drama, sweep blush along the
temples and forehead.
2. Cream blush is very natural and looks great on
smooth skin. After foundation, apply cream blush by
stippling lightly on the apples of the cheeks and along
the cheekbones. Blend with a sponge to a natural flush.
Follow with a light dusting of translucent powder to
set the cream to last all day.
3. Cheek stains are amazing because they do not budge,
look the most natural and are great for women who
prefer a “no-makeup” look. Apply on the apples of the
cheeks with your fingers and rub in circular motions.
Work quickly because stains dry in seconds and do not
need to be set with powder. I like to rub a little on lips,
too.
4. Bronzers are pretty on everyone and much safer than
the dreaded suntan. To bronze, apply on the apples,
cheekbones, temples and a little on the forehead, nose
and chin. Then go back and apply a little pinky coral
color to the apples. This is a major celebrity trick I use,
because bronzer alone can look a bit muddy and the
bright color on the apples gives you that life-loving
glow. Outstanding!
