Women Skin Care and Beauty

A swab of blush on our cheeks can make a huge difference between plain and fantastic, but with so many types of blush, how to pick the right blush type? Besides color, the right type of blush is essential to accentuate the glow and contour of our faces. Since there are many types of blush, here you can find the basic description of five types of blush with the best possible way in using them.

1. Powder blush
Perhaps the most popular type of blush, powder blush is great for all skin types. It is also the densest type of blush, and good for anyone who is looking for long-lasting color. Powder blush is best applied on oily skin.

2. Cream blush
This kind of blush is quite dense, but still let your skin shows through. Since it is in a creamy form, this type of blush contains moisturizing ingredients, which makes it perfect for dry skin. The best way to apply cream blush is with your finger, just like applying moisturizing cream.

3. Gel blush
This type of blush is good for those who want to get a sheer glow on their cheeks. Gel blush is hard to spread onto the dry skin since it dries fast, so this type of blush is perfect for the oily to normal skin.

4. Tint blush
This type of blush has the reputation of its long-lasting color, and it will not budge unless you wash and cleanse your face. Since it dries fast, blend it fast and well before you use it. It can look streaky over your foundation, so pay attention on how much you apply it. Tint blush works well on oily and normal skin.

5. Shimmer blush
True to its name, shimmer blush works by giving a light gleam to your cheekbones. These are best for nighttime. You can dab it on your forehead, in the bow of your upper lip or in the inner corners of your eyes. But avoid your highly wrinkled spots, since it will accentuate them.
