How to Put on Your Freaking Blush

Video Transcript

"Hey I'm Chelsea Baglozzi suburbanheresy.com and we're here today talking about makeup tips. This is my model Nicole and we have just finished putting on her foundation and concealer and we have contoured her face and now we are going to put on some freaking blush. So here I have picked out a color. It is light plum color. Her eyes are purple and the color of green is purple so I'm going to go ahead and use a plum colored blush that has a little bit of a shimmer in it and that 's going to help enhance her face a little bit. When you apply your blush I know in the 80's it was real popular to do the big blush that started at the cheek bone and went clear up to your ear. It's not really in style any more and it is important that your blush is just giving you a little bit of color to your cheeks. You want to make sure that you are keeping it to the apples of your cheeks but make sure too that it is blended. So make sure that you don't have circles on your cheeks. So I'm just going to dip this in a little bit and I'm going to apply it right to her apples and then I'm just going to brush it outward a little bit here. I'm not brushing it all the way up. I'm just applying it right there with little dabbing motions and then just kind of buffing it out a little bit. Then I'm going to copy and do the same thing on the other side and you don't need a ton of color for your blush just a little bit to help bring some color to your cheeks."
