Powder blush is the most traditional type of cheek tint and is usually applied with a brush.
Cheek tint is another term for blush, a type of makeup product that is applied to the cheeks to give a woman a natural glow. It is usually light red or pink in color and comes in powder, liquid, and gel forms. Proper application of cheek tint makes a woman appear to have a healthy, natural flush on her cheeks and many people may not even realize she is wearing makeup. The trick to getting the perfect cheek shade is choosing the right colors and applying them correctly.
Cheek shades are available in a variety of formulations, including gels and pigments.
Before applying paint to the cheeks, it is important that the woman wash her face to remove any dirt or grime. After washing and rinsing, she should apply a facial moisturizer to prevent the skin from drying out. She then applies her normal foundation, if she wishes, and then she can move on to applying paint.
For a woman who just wants a hint of color on her cheeks, apply a small drop of powder or liquid to her fingertip. So she should smile as she looks in the mirror and finds her cheekbones. The apple is the round part that swells when a person smiles. She then applies the paint to the apple of one cheek and uses a makeup brush or sponge to spread it up and back to the hairline. It should be spread on the skin with the makeup sponge or on the fingertips after washing them.
The cheek shadow is available in a wide range of colors.
If a woman wants a more prominent look, she should use a thin strip of paint instead of a dot. She looks in the mirror and smiles to find her cheekbones. She then spreads a thin line of apple ink onto the scalp at an angle. Finally, she blends the tone into her skin with a sponge or makeup brush.
Liquid blush, gel blush, and powder blush are all forms of cheek shadow and are applied in the same way. The difference lies in the user’s personal preference as to what looks best and what is easiest to apply. Liquid is easier to spread, while gel is thicker and more controlled. It is also less likely to stain during the day. Powder is easier to apply and remove, but it’s also messy and wears off easily.
Women should experiment with various shades of cheek tones to see which color suits them best.
After learning how to properly apply the shade to the cheeks, a woman should experiment to see which colors suit her best. Colors should look natural and match the wearer’s skin tone. A woman might try looking in the mirror after an active workout to see what shade of pink or red naturally appears on her cheeks. Darker complexions require darker shades, while olive skin looks best with very light colors like light pink.
