Cheek Makeup Techniques
There are a few basic cheek makeup techniques that will give you your best results with your cheek makeup. The most important one is discovering your natural cheek outline and color. This is the foundation to radiant cheeks.
Discovering Your Natural Cheek Outline and Color
Many women like a little touch of color on their cheeks, but still want their cheeks to look natural; not made up. To achieve the natural look, you must first familiarize yourself with your natural cheek color. If you don’t know the color of your natural blush (most women don’t), then:
- Sit in a chair, bend over at the waist, and put your head down between your legs for 30 seconds. When you raise your head, your cheeks should be a bit rosy – the rosy color is your natural blush color.
- Now, with a loaded cheek brush, pounce blush onto your cheeks using the flushed areas as your guide.
- Next, very lightly sweep the remaining blush on your brush over your chin and between the eyes for a hint of color.
Apples of the Cheeks - Give yourself a big grin in the mirror. Do you see the roundest part of the cheeks? These are your cheek’s apples.
Red Broken Capillaries - Pinching the cheeks for a quick bit of color may leave you with broken capillaries that could take years to disappear.
Carry a small blush compact in your purse for those moments when a quick touch up is necessary.
Yellow Based Concealer - You’ll be amazed at the years this little tip will take off your face... If you have red broken capillaries, don’t worry. Simply cover them with a yellow-based concealer. Yellow works best when hiding red. Never overdo it with concealer - too much concealer will look rough and add years to your face!
