No more crazy Clown Cheeks! two tricks to get Your blush to look as natural as possible

Blush, babe!
Why is natural-looking blush so difficult to do?

In the grand plan of makeup application, it’s not like eyeshadow, where sometimes you’re blending four or five colors on your lids. blush is usually just one shade on a fairly big area. It’s not as precise as putting color in the upper crease, so why is it so freakin’ difficult to make blush look natural?

This provided me a difficult time for many years as well as still does from time to time, however right here are two tips that truly help. When I discovered these, it was like the clouds had parted, as well as I heard angels singing, AHHHHH! more importantly, I wasn’t rollin’ around town anymore with two small circles on my cheeks (WHICH, OMG, I’VE totally DONE!).

Anyway, right here are two things I do when I’m going for the most natural-looking blush.

Reduce any type of redness, as well as prep your canvas first

This one is truly useful for the most natural-looking blush. as opposed to just applying blush over bare skin, always begin by evening out your skin tone as much as possible by concealing any type of areas of redness at all (like from pimples) on as well as around your cheeks, since you want your base as close to perfect as you can potentially get it before you apply your blush on top.

If you put something pigmented like a blush on top of an area that already has color — like on top of a red pimple — your blush will highlight the area even more, so prep your canvas first. apply your foundation and/or concealer anywhere you requirement it, as well as then apply your blush. That method it’ll look like a natural sweep of color going across your cheeks.

Apply your deal with powder before your blush

The next tip is to apply your powder blush (if a powder blush is your specific blush poison, as well as it occurs to be mine) on top of your deal with powder, instead of the other method around. So, if you’re starting with primer, you’d apply your foundation as well as concealer next, then your deal with powder, as well as then your blush.

Because products like to latch on to creams, as well as foundations are creamy products, if you apply a powder blush directly on top of your foundation, any type of areas that have more product on them will grab more of your blush, leaving with you some unequal patches of more intense blush color on your cheeks.

Instead, if you apply your deal with powder on top of your foundation, your foundation will grab the deal with powder very first (instead of your blush).

One benefit is that since your deal with powder color is most likely similar to your foundation color, it won’t appear uneven. one more benefit is that the deal with powder provides your powder blush a base layer with a similar structure (a powder), like a cushion, as well as generally it’s easier to blend similar structures together, like creams with creams, as well as powders with powders.

That layer of deal with powder acts as a pillow for your blush as well as makes it much easier to scoot those blush grains along as well as blend them out. The result is more natural-looking blush.

All about that leggings life

OK, so I totally went there. I bought a pair of Zella High midsection Leggings, as well as ya understand what? I’m truly excited about them!

I have a few pairs of leggings from Zella that are all mid- to low-waist, as well as ever since I had the baby, um…I haven’t been able to get back into them. They don’t in shape me the exact same method they utilized to — specifically, my stomach hangs over the waistband. So, I’ve been wanting a pair of leggings that hold whatever in, a.k.a mom denim style. as well as ya understand what? Whatever, I’m awesome with it. I saw these high-waist leggings on the Nordstrom website, checked out all the great evaluations as well as was like, darnit, I’m just gonna go there.

I’m still waiting on them to find in… When they arrive, do you want me to evaluation them? LOL! I have reviewed workout gear on MBB before. If you believe I should, let me know.
