Use and Tips for Blushers

BLUSHERS:

Blush or cheek color, used to be known as rouge or carmine. It was obtained by crushing cochineal (a Mexican insect) into a red powder. Nowadays there is a vast selection of powders & creams, in every shade & tone. Sometimes it is difficult to choose which type to use.

POWDER BLUSHERS:

These are easy to apply & can be added at the end of the make-up for added warmth & color.

CREAM BLUSHERS:

These NEED to be blended with a sable brush & tend to survive longer than powder types. Cream rouge is better on dry skin or on cheeks that are blemished, it is easier to blend. Cream is also more waterproof.

POWDER/ CREAM BLUSHERS:

This type of blusher is applied like a cream but dries to a matt finish, like powder.

CHOOSING THE BLUSHER:

- The choice of BLUSHER depends on the color of the skin tone:

black skin tones these need brown shades, so choose orange-browns & red-browns to enhance the skin color. Avoid bright pinks, as these look unnatural.

- Dark olive skin tone these too look best with brownish Blushers, shades of

terracotta & russet pinks.

-  PINK skin tone these MAY NOT NEED BLUSHER at all, if the cheeks are already pink or if they tend to blush easily. Peach tones can be used to play down the color if it is too rosy.

-  GOLDEN skin tones these look GOOD WITH CORAL & peach colors on the cheeks. It is good to use pinks to offset the skin tone if this is on the sallow side.

-  LVORY & PALE SKINS these SHOULD NOT HAVE STRONG cheek colors added. A shade of beige pinks & pale pinks harmonies well with this of skn tone, which delicate & often appear translucent.
