some people are born fashionistas, the rest of us just need a little help
Another big trend for spring/summer right now is soft makeup. One way to achieve that look while actually wearing makeup is by using blush. I am a huge fan of brushing on some blush in addition to some lipgloss to make your face glow. In fact, blush is something I like to put on when I’m feeling washed out or tired and that little bit of color on my cheeks wakes me right up. Or at least it makes me look like I’m awake. For blush basics, check out my post, Blushing beauties!
So you can imagine how excited I was to see that soft blush was a makeup trend for spring/summer. You may be wondering how to do soft blush. It’s quite simple. Go for lighter blush colors like pinks, peaches and rose reds rather than the stronger blushes like dark reds. The great thing about lighter blush colors is that it’s a lot harder to “mess it up” so you makeup newbies can take this trend and venture into the blush territory.
Happy blushing!
One day I was really tired so I decided to brush on some blush to perk myself up. After I checked my reflection in the mirror, I was satisfied with the final product. I didn’t look as pale and tired and the blush definitely helped pull my total look together. When I met up with my friends, I got an additional pleasant surprise. My friend looked at me and said, “You look so refreshed and well rested!”
I was amazed. Here I was feeling tired and worn down and just by brushing some blush on my cheeks, I gave off the appearance of a well rested person. With this in mind, I want to share a video with you about how to properly apply blush. It’s not hard so don’t worry. However, if you’ve never purchased blush before, I would suggest visiting a makeup counter and getting help from a professional. You want a blush that naturally compliments your complexion so get some help with that as well as with choosing the right brush. It will be worth it in the long run, I promise.
Enjoy! Learn! Be beautiful!
