Spring is here, Love is in the air, and You’re Alive!
If that isn’t enough to make you glow, perhaps you need a little blush in your life.

Before I became a Makeup Artist, I never really wore blush.  On occasion, I would bring it out, but it was a rarely used tool in my beauty arsenal.
However, after becoming a Makeup Artist, I see how a little bit of color to the cheeks can make such a difference.
This year, I’ve been all about the blush, but you don’t need to put on as much as I do.  Even the slightest bit will brighten up your face and add a gorgeous glow.

There are 3 basic types of Blush:

Powder Blush:
- Powders are the most basic form of Blush.
- Powder works well on most types of skin (Normal, Dry, Sensitive, Combination, Oily), but can look a little powdery on extremely dry skin.
- Apply Powder Blush with a Blush Brush or the ones that come with a built-in sponge

Cream Blush:
- Creams can add a natural dewiness to your cheeks
- Cream Blushes work well for Normal, Dry, and Combination Skin, but can apply unevenly on very Oily skin.
- Apply Cream Blushes with clean fingers or a makeup sponge

Gel/Liquid/Tint Blush:
- Gel/Liquid/Tint Blushes can give a beautiful sheer glow in a texture you may not be familiar with.
- Gel/Liquid/Tints can be used on all skin types, but be sure to blend well!
- Apply Gel/Liquid/Tints with clean fingers and blend quickly (They tend to dry quickly)

* There are so many different blush colors, but I’ve recently been using a lot of Peach blushes, and it gives a really beautiful and natural glow.
* I also like using a hint of bright pink for a cute and flirty look.
* If you want a glow, but don’t want too much color, find a nice bronzer to give your face a natural glow.
