1. If you feel like your skin is dry or looks dry during cold months switch to a cream or liquid blush. It will give you more of a natural and hydrated look. Try MAC's cream blush, Stila Convertible Color (can be worn on lips or cheeks), or Tarte cheek stain. You will apply this after foundation before powder. You can always add a little powder blush later if you feel like you need more color.
2. Carry your blush with you...most people keep lip products and powder with them to touch up. Start carrying your blush and a blush brush. There's nothing that adds life to your tired face like a little more cheek color. If I'm going to be out all day blush touch ups are a must!
3. Add a little more. Don't skimp on the blush...you don't want to look like a clown, but you also don't want to look washed out. Pick out a great pink tone for these winter months. I LOVE the colors Nars offers.
I won't lie, cream blush scares me...I'm always afraid I am going to put it on wrong and end up looking like a clown!
ReplyDeleteDon't be afraid of it...apply with your fingers and do a little at a time to avoid the clown look. If you want a really sheer look apply with a sponge. Apply where you would normally apply blush. The good thing about it is that it tends to last longer than powder blush.
