Types of Blush

TYPES OF BLUSHES:

Blushes are available in various forms such as powder, cream, liquid or gels. Different forms have specific purposes and suitability to different situations. There are different types of blush. But one must pick only that brand which one finds the best suitable for her skin keeping her skin type (which could be oily, normal or dry) in mind.

1. Powder Blush:

Powder blush is usually good for all types of skin. But it is considered the best for the oily skin and for those who are looking for long-lasting color. Powder blusher is best applied after the face powder. It will lie on top of your skin and add a translucent glow to it.

The powder blush is considered the densest of the blushers. You can use beige or cocoa-brown tone to accent your cheekbones and temples and slim the sides of your nose. For a contour you should use a deeper shade in the hollow of your cheek. Powder blush could be applied easily as compared to the liquid and cream blush.

2. Cream Blush:

The cream blush offers more intense shade than the powder blush. Therefore you should use it sparingly and blend well. Start at the apples of the cheek and blend upward. The cream blush is best applied with the help of your fingers. Although It is also dense in nature but it lets your skin show through.

Cream blush contains rich moisturizing or oil ingredients therefore it is considered particularly suitable for the dry skin. It should be applied over foundation, but before powder. The cream blush is especially nice for the evening makeup.

3. Gel or Liquid:
