So many of us women completely forget about the fact that our blush is one of the greatest things in the world and certainly something that men love to look at; this is why the blushing bride look is fourth on our list of five classic looks.  While you do not have to be a bride to accomplish this look, there are a few tricks and tips that you should take into consideration when you are looking to apply blush onto your cheekbones.

First and foremost, you want to make sure that you are purchasing the right blush for your complexion.  One time, I made a huge mistake and purchased a blush that was way too dark for my fair complexion and let’s just say it was a very bad mistake and there are pictures.  So to avoid that mistake, when shopping for blush, go ahead and use the testers out on your skin.  Just a small dab on the back of your hand should tell you whether the color compliments your skin or not.

Now that you have found the right blush for you, applying it is simple!  Now if you are on the chicks are that kickin’ it old-school and you got the powder blush, go ahead and take your brush, dip it in, tap the side and lightly apply to each of your cheekbones, rubbing it in very lightly with a few fingers.  If you are a chick that has gotten some of the new liquid blush, go ahead and use a brush on that too – and use a very small amount.  Small amounts go a long way in liquid!

That’s it ladies!  One more look and we’ll move onto another makeup topic!
