I’m impressed that this L’Oreal Infallible Paints Blush Kit works on darker skin tones because you know how some drugstore blushes can be. I really love that we’re seeing more and more makeup palettes at the drugstore level.
I wanted to add some meat to it hence the guide above ) So I mentioned this would be a hybrid post-since I’ve changed the way I blog about products this year, I didn’t want to just do a post dedicated to reviewing the L’Oreal Infallible Paints Blush Kit I received from the brand’s PR. L’Oreal Infallible Paints Blush Kit #230 Review: I posted a blush for dark skin video on my Youtube channel- make sure you subscribe! Now unlike my demo videos that I’ve been posting here on the blog, my Youtube videos DO have sound on them so tread lightly if you’re at work. When it comes to nude lips (which can wash you out because they’re close to your skin color), go for a brighter blush shade to help balance things out and prevent you from looking washed out. You can match your blush color with your lip color.
You can choose a blush shade that’s in the same color family as most of your makeup.ģ. You can choose a “neutral” goes-with-everything shade like a bold peach or coral.Ģ.

HOW TO MATCH YOUR BLUSH COLOR TO YOUR MAKEUPīreaking out a color wheel can help you figure out how to choose colors that mesh well not only with your makeup but also your wardrobe and even home decor. The fluffier the brush, the less product you distribute but you also may get a less controlled application. Keep in mind that the more compact the brush bristles are, the more product you distribute. I usually use a standard blush brush which almost every brand makes. You can use a gazillion different tools to apply your blush depending on the look you’re going for. Check out the chart below to give you a rough idea on where to apply your blush for your face shape.ĭon’t forget to blend! Don’t get caught out there with geometric shapes on your face. One of the most important things to consider is your face shape when applying blush.
Remember cream blush can be matte or shimmery, so if you have dry, textured skin, you might want to look into a matte cream blush. If you have textured skin, a matte blush might be your best bet as shimmer can draw attention to areas you weren’t trying to draw attention to. Get too happy with the shimmer and you can look “greasy.” So if your makeup look is mostly matte, break it up with a shimmery finish blush or vice versa.Ģ. Overdo it on the mattes and you could make yourself look cakey or dry. Balance in your makeup-too much of one finish can sometimes not be the best thing for your look. Some things to consider when choosing a blush finish:ġ. I demonstrated this in my How to Stay Beat in the Heat video here.īlush typically comes in two finishes: matte or shimmer. You can also use a cream blush as a base for your powder blush if you really want to make it last. I have oily skin and love a bright cream blush but I do tend to wear powders more often mostly because powder blushers in brighter colors are more common than cream ones. Most blush guides will tell you that if you have dry skin to go for a cream and if you have oily skin to go for a blush-but a lot of blush formulas have advanced and a cream can work well on oily skin and a powder can work well on dry skin. There are other variations like gels and liquids, but let’s consider those to be under the “cream” umbrella. Some blush basics:īlush pretty much comes in two types: powder and cream. You can always tone a blush down with face powder if you get a little heavy-handed or overzealous with the rouge. Bright corals, pinks, reds, plums, oranges are all bae-the brighter the better. And you don’t want to skip blush altogether either-when done right it can make you look fresh, alert, and vibrant. Lighter blush shades will only look ashy on us and you seriously don’t want that. DO NOT BE SCARED-trust me, it’s what will look best on your chocolate skin.
