Blushing Isn't Just for Brides

In a previous post, I talked about bronzers and I still think that bronzers are a nice way to add a little color to the face, especially during the final days of winter. However, if you aren't sure about using a bronzer, at least consider using a blush, if you aren't already doing so. As we age, our face starts to loose color or our color becomes uneven or sallow looking. Other than foundation, blush is another way to bring back some of our youthful glow. Again, I highly recommend Physician's Formula for their blush compacts. They tend to be a mixture of colors and that is really what works best for the face anyway. Experts like to use at least two layers of a sheer blush in two separate colors to make the blush appear to be more natural looking. If you are using a powder, make sure you have a good quality brush made specifically for blush application. When in doubt, go to a store that specializes in cosmetics like Sephora or Ulta and ask one of their sales assistants to help you choose a good quality brush for applying a powder blush. If you opt for a cream blush, the most important thing to remember is blend well. You can use a sponge applicator, but fingers work best for blending any cream make-up, whether it's blush, foundation or eye shadow. Again, if you're not sure about color, you can always ask for a demonstration in application and most if not all of the sales assistants at specialty stores or cosmetic counters will be happy to help you! Happy Shopping!
