How to Apply Blush for Prom Makeup

Video Transcript

"Hi! This is Hollie and on behalf of Expert Village we’re going to talk about blush. Blush is a tricky one cause if you do too much it’s going to enter the room before you but if you do just the settle amount you’ll give yourself that nice refresh Sunkist face, so always find the bulb of the cheek so you’ll smile really big and find the apple of the cheek and that’s where your blush is going to start. Find the shade that is about two tones darker than your foundation and for different styles say if you’re at a wedding or an indoor party you may want to use more of a peach to a pick shade depending on your skin tone but for an outdoor event especially during the summer you’ll want to use more of a bronzing effect. Always use a brush and you want to sweep upward into that hairline from the bulb of the cheek and bring that blush out and again always blending upward and out, always remember with blush that you’re trying to create an oval with the face and you have a wide jaw you would your blush to be farther down, if you have a wider top say an upside down pair type shape you would want your blush to be higher up, so it’s wherever the widest part of the face to draw inward is where you want your blush to set. You can always start off with that big smile and kind of see right where you cheeks want it and blend again with that blush very easy."
