- Prep Your Skin: Start with clean and moisturized skin. You can apply liquid blush either before or after foundation, depending on your preference.
- Choose the Right Shade: Select the liquid blush shade that complements your skin tone and the overall makeup look you want to achieve.
- Apply Foundation (Optional): If you prefer, you can apply your foundation first. Some people like to apply liquid blush before foundation for a more natural look, while others prefer applying it on top for a dewy finish.
- Shake the Liquid Blush: Liquid blushes often have a liquid formula that might separate. Shake the bottle well before applying to ensure an even distribution of color.
- Dab a Small Amount: Dispense a small amount of liquid blush onto the back of your hand or directly onto your fingertips. A little goes a long way with liquid blush.
- Application Method:
- Fingertips: Use your fingertips to gently dab the liquid blush onto the apples of your cheeks.
- Makeup Sponge: Alternatively, you can use a makeup sponge to apply and blend the blush. Dab the sponge into the liquid blush and gently pat it onto your cheeks.
- Makeup Brush: Use a synthetic makeup brush for a more precise application. Dab the brush into the liquid blush and blend it onto your cheeks in a tapping or stippling motion.
- Blend Well: Blend the blush seamlessly into your skin to avoid harsh lines. The goal is to achieve a natural, flushed look.
- Layer if Needed: Liquid blushes are buildable. If you want a more intense color, let the first layer dry slightly and then apply additional layers until you achieve the desired look.
- Set with Powder (Optional): If you prefer a matte finish or want to set the liquid blush, you can lightly dust translucent powder over your cheeks. However, if you like a dewy finish, you can skip this step.
