Natural Blush

Perfect your look with Natural Blush

When you apply foundation and concealer and translucent powder the complexion can look a little flat with less dimension, mineral blush brings a little extra life to your face enhancing your makeup look. The perfect colour of natural blush should make you look youthful, natural, and fresh, not clown like or overdone.

Mineral blush powder comes in a variation of pink tones, some with peach or plum undertones. The right natural blush colour for you is one that compliments your undertones (warm, cool or neutral). For fair skin light dusty pinks and soft peaches bring a natural flush, for medium skin with cool undertones a bright pink brings life, while warm undertones will benefit from peachy corals. A deep dusty peach with a hint of gold warms the tone of olive skin. While delicious plum hues work on a cool olive complexion. For a deeper and dark skin-deep coral and berry tones bring depth and dimension to the complexion.

You can still wear mineral blush powder even if you have a little redness or rosacea, skip the pink tones and opt for a more neutral peach or brown shades. Neutral tones work with every skin tone and counteract any redness.

Do you choose natural blush in matte or shimmer is the next question. A matte nautral blush adds a subtle flush of colour to the face and is best suited to you if you like to avoid shine. Matte blush is great for daywear and minimal makeup looks. A little shimmer in your mineral blush adds a dab of glimmer to your cheeks, emphasising the cheeks a little more. Shimmer blush blends seamlessly with highlighter and is a beautiful for evening or special occasion look.

Most of us are very familiar with powdered blush in a classic compact and for good reason, it’s super easy to use. Organic blush in this form is made of skin-loving mineral powders that are easy to apply and glide onto the skin effortlessly and easily. If your looking for an alternative, modern natural blush comes in varied textures, with one of the most exciting textures being the cream blush that blends seamlessly into your skin and stays put all day. Cream blush can be found in the form of a super stick, a makeup bag friendly pot or pocket ready mini tube. A cream blush can be applied with either a brush or your fingertips – whatever your preference the placement remains the same.

Placement of your natural blush counts. If you have a round face apply mineral blush to the apple of your cheeks, sweeping the colour along your cheekbones towards the temples. Thinner faces will benefit from applying natural blush on the centre of your cheeks, swirling in circular motions and blending along your cheekbones back toward the ears. For a sun kissed glow apply mineral blush underneath your eyes, along the bridge of your nose and back towards the ears.

Pro Tip: For defined cheekbones place a little bronzer under the cheekbones, in the hollows sweeping it out to the outer cheekbones. Top the look off a flush of natural blush on the apples and little highlighter across the top of the cheekbones. Your face will look radiant and lifted.
