Blush is one of the most important part of a makeup and this also includes bronzers.

It shows off your cheekbones with a hint of femininity mimicking a natural flush look. No wonder the red carpet this season was filled with makeup look with soft sheen blush, discover how to achieve same look below:
1.One Step At Time
If you are new to dewy/cream blushes start by investing in both the powder blush and cream blush. When it comes to application introduce the cream blush first then tap powder blush on top. This will give you an in-between finish making it easy to adapt to. If buying both cream and powder is too expensive, I suggest you look for cream/balmy blushes that finishes as powder – it also give an in between cream and powder look.

2. Use Your Finger Tips
As beautiful as cream blushes can be, they can be very difficult to apply as it can pull the base product like your foundation along with the tool. So the trick to having fun with a cream blush is to apply with your finger tips. This helps the formula to melt into the skin avoiding a cakey application. The good thing is that they come in stick formula making them a great multi-tasker-meaning they can be used on the eyes, cheeks and lips even without a mirror.

3. Offset Your Blush With Your Undertone
Have you ever worn a pink blush and answer yourself “this is not how you’re meant to look”? That’s where matching your skin undertone with your blush comes in. The makeup artists recommend if you have a warm undertone you can play with a blue-based pink or berry coloured blushes while cool undertone are advised to go for orange-red hues. Pigment is also key when it comes to offsetting your blush with your skin tone for both dark and light you’re advised to go for a well pigmented blush to create a beautiful summer flushed face look. Opting for a blush with no pigment will only end up with heavy finish if you try to build it up.

In summer season the best glam look is always a dewy fresh face/flushed face look, so when creating your look, makeup artists always recommend to start with all cream/dewy products.

Don’t ever feel you have to choose between bronzer and blush, the pro always advise to use both but to learn how to layer them and to match the texture/formula. So go for a cream bronzer if you will be wearing a cream blush, apply the bronzer first then place the blush in the middle of cheeks raising the dabbing motion up toward the upper part of the ear repeat on the other cheek. Do not forget to dap across the nose ensuring the edges are diffused for a beach bronzed look.
