Peach, strawberry, pink or red. How to choose and use blush, makeup with which to radiate pure beauty.

Why is blush the makeup ally of our beauty and we can't do without it when it comes to giving the face well-being and brightness? That delicate blush that emerges on the cheeks due to emotion or after exposure to the first sun is the definitive emblem of natural, sincere and healthy beauty. Not only does a diet rich in carotenoids help the natural colour of the cheeks, it is also important to know how to choose the most suitable blush to emphasize it. The first criterion for obtaining a bonne mine appearance, to put it in French, is to know your skin tone type, only in this way, based on your skin tone, will it be immediate to understand whether it is better to opt for a more pink and cold colour temperature or a golden one and hot. &nbsp;
With light skin it's easy to say which type of blush to choose, light pink with light peach and apricot shades will be able to illuminate and warm the entire complexion. Those with amber skin can instead direct their choice towards a golden or bronze shade with orange incursions. For the highly coveted sunkissed effect it is necessary to choose a blush and illuminating make-up, that is the combo with which to simulate the seaside holiday effect of the very first days. The blush duo makeup therefore mixes the main characteristics of the two when applied on the cheeks and nose, i.e. the first areas of the face reached by the sun. An exception for evening outings, when the lights alter the rendering of the make-up, red blush is the ideal choice for obtaining a more glamorous and impactful make-up.

Patrick Ta, make-up artist from Los Angeles and founder of Patrick Ta Beauty, who became famous for having given that magical glow to the Hadid sisters and for having cloaked in light many other beauties of the calibre of <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/portraits/camila-cabello-talks-beauty-feminism-and-spanglish" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Camila Cabello</a>, Alix Ashley Earle, Demi Lovato and Katy Perry. The blushes in his line are a guarantee of absolute goodness because they mix with the highlighters.

What is the difference between blush and fard?

Virtually none. Fard is the French term most used in the past, today replaced by the more rounded English term blush. The blush makeup family also includes <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/beauty/kaia-gerber-cindy-crawford-inspired-90-s-make-up-beauty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bronzer</a> which, as the name suggests, is made up of warm and dark tones and undertones ideal for sculpting, adding intensity to tanned skin and defining the oval with the contouring technique.

Blush in cream or in powder?&nbsp;

The nature of the skin is the key to understanding the best type of blush, cream or powder version. If your skin is dry, cream blush is the most suitable texture for a uniform and compact finish, as well as for obtaining a guaranteed glow effect; differently, oily skin performs better with the application of a powder blush and therefore the application of different textures also requires distinct methods. How to apply cream blush is intuitive, as it involves using your fingers to lightly dab the product onto your cheeks and then blend it in the external direction of your features. Alternatively, you can apply the cream blush with the foundation sponge. With powder blush, loose or compact, it is best to use the kabuki brush with a large surface with which to make circular and directional movements. The trick of eliminating the excess powder collected by the brush before applying it to the skin will avoid excessive stratifications of colour.

How to choose blush colour

To do this you need to recognize your <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/soul-spirituality/what-is-the-skin-care-breakfast-trend-nutrition-for-skin-care" target="_blank" rel="noopener">skin</a> undertone, that is, the shade that hides under the surface skin tone, which &nbsp; it can be cold or hot and will never change over time. Warm or cold are therefore the discriminating factors with which to understand which blush colour is most suitable to choose. Discovering your undertone in broad terms is quite simple, just observe the veins on the inside of the wrist: if they have a bluish colour the undertone is cold, if they tend towards green then it is warm. The peach blush , for example, is ideal for an olive complexion with a warm undertone, while the pink blush, when combined with a cold undertone, lights up the oval with a magnificent Snow White-style radiant effect. Finally, with red blush, <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/beauty/strawberry-girl-makeup-hailey-bieber-summer-beauty-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hailey Bieber</a>'s strawberry makeup and Tomato Girl makeup, it works best on sun-tanned skin tones.
And now we understand where to put blush on the face based on the face shape of four fantastic celebs.

Central blush makeup if your face is square like Margot Robbie's&nbsp;

Square faces are more geometric than others due to their sharper and more decisive chin, cheekbones and jaw. To apply blush effectively as in the case of <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/beauty/barbie-pink-makeup-trend-golden-globes-2024-margot-robbie-beauty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Margot Robbie</a>, simply round out the features by concentrating the product on the central part of the cheeks in line with the pupils of the eyes. Without forgetting to blend everything slightly outwards and towards the ears.

Bella Hadid&#39;s oval face reveals the secret blush trick

With an oval face like <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/beauty/bella-hadid-why-would-we-want-to-model-her-daring-bangs-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bella Hadid</a>'s, the features are slightly longer than wide and therefore the blush has the task of helping to widen and round the face by reddening the features with a pinkish luminosity both in the center of the forehead and on the tip of the chin. To obtain a more sculpted-looking blush, simply follow the contour of the face and move upwards and outwards along the cheekbones, uniting them with soft, circular movements.

With a round face, blush makeup follows Madison Bailey's beauty routine

Round faces like Madison Bailey's are great bases for practising blush. The face is naturally proportioned across the forehead, cheeks and jawline and so simply apply the blush slightly higher on the cheeks to visibly lift and define the shape of the face using the outer corners of the eyes as a guideline.

How to apply blush on a triangular face like Sydney Sweeney

Faces that have a wider forehead and a pointed, protruding chin are also called heart-shaped. Sydney Sweeney, the rising face of cinema, embodies the characteristics of this type and for her blush can be used to soften and help the cheeks appear rounder and fuller. It starts slightly from the bottom with a curved U-shaped movement along the cheekbones and towards the temples.

You can also use&nbsp;lipstick instead of blush!&nbsp;How to use lipstick as a blush is very easy: pick up a little material with the tip of your finger and tap it slowly on the central part of the cheeks and then intensify it outwards. All this in the company of a handy handbag mirror or the reverse camera on your smartphone.
