Walking down the street I see far too many women who’s blush looks more like a roseasia condition than anything else.
Makeup is meant to take focus off of our flaws, not to make us look like we have them! A lot of times, blotchy blush application can be due to excess oils present in the skin. Oil has a tendency to catch onto and absorb blush pigment, accentuating the intensity of the color.
- Apply makeup on clean, freshly washed skin.
- Before applying powder blush, dust face powder across your cheeks. This will absorb any excess oil and will help diffuse the blush to look softer and smoother when it is applied.
- Be gentle with the amount of blush you put on your brush. Less is more. It is much easier to build a few layers of blush to the right intensity than to smear a streak of bright pink across your cheek bone.
- If you find that your blush still looks too strong, just add a little more face power over the top of the blush to calm it down.
If you are still having problems with blotchy application it is probably due to the quality of your blush. You may want to look into finding a smoother applying product. We recommend Motives Pressed Blush.
