How to Do Blush if You're Pale

Blush can look beautiful on pale skin if applied properly.

Blush can brighten your complexion and give you a youthful glow. However, blush that is worn incorrectly can make you look like a clown. If you have pale skin, you may have stayed away from blush because you're nervous about the way it will look on you. By picking the right color and perfecting your technique, you can look polished with a little blush on your cheeks.

Things You'll Need

• Light pink or peach powder blush
• Blush brush
• Translucent powder
• Powder brush

Instructions

1. Choose the right blush color for your skin tone. Colors like light pink and peach complement pale skin, while coral and brown blushes are too dark for it.

2. Pick up a little bit of color on your blush brush. Tap the blush brush on the lid to get rid of excess product, so you avoid applying too much.

3. Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks with a large blush brush. Smile while you apply the blush to help you figure out where the apple of your cheek is.

4. Apply translucent powder to your cheeks with a large powder brush if you applied too much blush.
