Adding Blush Makeup for a Christina Aguilera Look

Video Transcript

"Now that the foundation is on and her skin looks completely flawless and smooth, we're going to go on to blush. This is a look where we want the skin to look very porcelain. This is not a sun kissed look. This is where you skip the bronzer. You want your skin to look very porcelain. You just want to look like you have that pinched cheek, rosy cheek look. My grandmother used to tell me that when she was young, they would pinch their cheeks to make them red. That's the look we're going for. Or they would use their red lipstick as rouge and rub it in. We're going for a very blushed flushed look. Like if someone embarrassed her, how she would flush. I'm going to use a nice kind of fluffy blush brush because we don't want to put a lot on this brush. We don't want to use something too small or too condensed because we want it to look very natural. This color can get very pigment. You just want to dip it in a little bit and just go onto the cheek bone very naturally. Add more as needed, but you're not going to need to put a lot on. For this we don't want to strip up the cheekbone. We want to stay more in the apples of the cheeks. Like I said, like you would have pinched your cheeks where it would flush. Just add a little more and a little more as needed. You really don't want to use anything with too much shimmer or glow. This is not that look. We want it just to look very natural, matte, nothing too glowy and dewy as far as this is concerned. See how it's already looking like she kind of has a pinched cheek. Again, just depending, you can add more and more. This is a look that's going to wind up being pretty dramatic. I'm just going to put a little more blush on. Kind of stipple it on or buff it onto her cheek. There. Look at the tremendous difference from one side to the other."
