Revlon Blush

Powder, cream or liquid blush?

Powder is the easiest to control and suits oily skin, since it sits on the surface rather than adding moisture. Cream blends into the skin for a more natural, skin-like flush and suits dry or mature skin. Liquid is the most pigmented and longest wearing, but sets fastest and needs quick blending.

Where should I apply it?

On the apples of the cheeks and blended up toward the temple is the standard placement and suits most face shapes. Higher placement toward the cheekbone lifts the face; lower and closer to the nose reads softer and more youthful. Blend the edges thoroughly — a hard line is the main thing that makes blush look applied.

Which shade suits me?

Peach and coral tones suit warm undertones. Cool pinks and berries suit cool undertones. Deeper skin tones generally need more pigment than a pale pink provides, and rich berry, brick and bronze shades read far better than a sheer wash.

How do I fix over-application?

Do not wipe it off. Press a clean damp sponge over the area to lift excess, or buff a small amount of translucent powder or foundation over the top to mute it. Both work better than starting again.
