Blush Gone Wrong

Posted in 'Unassigned' on November 18, 2011
 

Is it a clown? Is it a ventriloquist's dummy? No, it's celebrities with horrific blush!

When blush is done right, it sculpts, defines and highlights your features, helping you achieve a healthy glow and an all round better looking complexion. But when it's done wrong? Well, see above.

When applying blush, you need to consider which shade will best suit your complexion, how intense the blush should be, and of course, whether your intention is to look sophisticated, cute, or like a scary porcelain doll (again, see above).

Remember, it's all about subtlety and creating a look that's fresh and natural. So next time you apply your blush, look to Lindsay, then back to the mirror, then to Christina, then to the mirror again. Assess the situation and use your judgement. And, if all else fails, take into account these masterful blush tips from make-up guru Napoleon Perdis:

+Don't blend your contours too low towards the jaw line
+Ensure your blush, contour and highlight blend seamlessly together
+Don't blend your blush or contour too high onto the top of the cheekbone
+Don't blend blush too close or low towards the lips




See how effective blush can be when done the right way? It's a treat for the eyes. For further assistance, check out this handy face map:
