5 Tips To Perfectly Apply Cream Blush

Most of us are scared of using cream blush as we believe that our skin will not play well along with it. But when applied the right way, cream blush can turn out to be your best friend by giving you a glowy and flushed face. It suits all types of skin and blends into the skin seamlessly without highlighting dry patches or melting off.

Moreover, it is much easier to use than powder blush and can improve your makeup game remarkably. So, instead of shying away from it, just go for it and enjoy the natural-looking flush on your cheeks. Here is how to apply cream blush to look dewy and luminous:

# By Using Fingertips

The easiest as well as the most popular method of applying cream blush is to use the tips of the index finger and the middle finger simultaneously. Pick a little blush with these fingertips and apply it to the apples of your cheeks while making a smiling face. Blend it back towards the hairline by using tapping motions unless and until it gets absorbed into the skin completely.

# By Using Q-Tip

This process is similar to the previous one to some extent. The only difference is that you have to pick the blush by using a Q-tip. Dab the Q-tip at 3 to 4 spots on your cheekbones so that you get a few dots of blush. Blend it carefully with the tips of your index finger and middle finger. Move towards the temple and spread evenly.

# By Using Regular Blush Brush

A regular blush brush is always a good choice for applying the cream blush perfectly. All you need to do is pat the brush into the palette and apply the product on your cheekbones gently. Make sure that you take only a little amount of blush and move the brush in an upward direction. Try to use a medium-sized brush for getting the best look.

# By Using Highlighter Brush

A cheek highlighter brush also works great for cream blush application. It can be obtained in a number of styles and sizes. But all of them have a soft, flat, and smooth top section to apply the blush onto the cheekbones in short strokes. You need to start with a smiling face and put the blush on the apples of your cheeks as well as the cheekbones followed by a backward blend. However, the flat upper end of this type of brush makes it tough to pick the required amount of blush and we often end up putting too much product. So, be careful about it.

# By Using Stippling Brush

A synthetic stippling brush is a two-toned brush applicator, which has a black denser bottom section of natural hair and a white floppier upper section of synthetic hair. It gives an awesome airbrush-effect by pushing the cream blush flawlessly into your skin. When you stipple the brush on the product, the white hairs pick a very little amount of it, which can then be blended with the black hairs by pressing the brush a bit more.
