Rosie red cheeks. What girl doesn't want that little pop of color? It's cute and really adds a glow to any lovely ladies already beautiful face! But, it becomes a problem when you apply too much blush OR apply it in the complete wrong spot.
You're probably thinking "huh? There is no wrong spot!"
Oh but there is my dears.
For example; the other day I encountered a woman in Kroger. She gave me nasty looks while I handed her my Kroger Plus Card. (Sorry you hate your job, but I do not appreciate, nor do I accept your nasty looks, m'am.) So I quickly deemed her Ms. Nastypants for all the nasty looks. Childish? Maybe so, but I was just acting accordingly. Anyway, Ms. Nastypants, is a prime example for this lesson on blush. It looked like a child drew all over her cheeks with a red Crayola marker. (Luckily those markers are washable with water.)
Not only did she apply at least 50 coats too many; she also had it all concentrated in little circles under the apples of her cheeks. I didn't even know what to make of this sight other than, birthday clown, maybe? (If you couldn't tell, I really was not a fan of her.)
Take a lesson from Ms. Nastypants. DO NOT apply 50 coats of blush!
Find the proper color for your skin tone (lighter for light skin, darker for dark skin) and gently sweep the color on the apples of your cheeks. I like to smile a little while I apply it, so I can target the apples directly. Make sure you blend it all out along your cheekbones. Avoid streaky blush lines though, or you'll have to do your whole face over again. (Ain't nobody got time for that! Still relevant right? )
As long as you are kind and gentle to your brush it will treat you right in return; giving you a nice glow and warmth that Ms. Nastypants will never achieve!
Go ahead girl, make those cheeks pop! The ones on your face, of course.
Heck, make the other cheeks pop too; you're fab!
