I'm Blushing

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Joel_Smith]Joel Smith

If you want to achieve a rosy, healthy glow choose a blush that is creamy in texture or a categorized as a cheek stain. Stains and cream blushes create the most natural, moisturized glow but rub off easily. To ensure that it stays put I suggest putting a dab of foundation or a cream beneath a stain to create a more dimensional look. Another tip is to use a bronzed color with a rosy color to create a sun-kissed look. All you do is dab a creamy bronzer (like Maybelline�s cream bronzers) and then apply a berry colored stain on the apples of the cheeks and you�re done! A very easy to and use option is Tarte�s Cheekstain which are extremely gorgeous and come in a variety of shades.

If you are more comfortable with a powder, there are many simple ways to perfect this look as well. I suggest grabbing a lighter and a deeper hue from a similar color family as well as a highlighter. Make a fishy face and sweep the deeper shade into the contour of your cheek bone. This essential makes your face look slimmer so don�t be surprised when a girl friend asks if you lost a pound or two! Next, smile big and brush the lighter shade onto the apple of the cheeks and the highlighter onto the upper jaw bone up nearly up to the temple. Blend, blend, blend these colors until they look natural and your new look is complete. If you liked the previous thought of a sun-kissed glow, take a bronzer and apply into the hollow while you apply a bright rosy or coral color to the cheek bones. Be sure to sweep a mixture of your forehead, bridge of the nose and chin to make your look even.

Using one single color may sound a lot easier but trust us, it often times makes a face look more flat and washed out than vivacious and full of life. Trust us, once you�ve mastered these tricks of two to three blush colors swirled into one, it will only take a minute more and you�ll love the flush of your cheeks and the appeal it presents to others.
