If you want to know how to turn dull skin into blushing glowing skin, Pixi Beauty has the solution for you from the makers of the Pixi Beauty On-the-Glow solid moisturiser comes the Pixi On the Glow Blush tinted moisture stick collection.
When it comes down to blushes the selection can be so extensive that making a choice can hard.
So let me help you find a great addition to your Blush collection.
What is a Blush?
A Blush or blusher is generally referred to as rouge, it is a cosmetic colour you can apply on your cheeks or even lips.
There are two types of blushes:
- Powder blushes
- Cream blushes
It is used to add a touch of colour to your cheeks or define your cheekbones.
What are the benefits of using Blush?
The benefits of using a blusher include:
- Adding a touch of colour to your face
- Defining your face and cheeks
- Brightening your skin
- Cool tone skin tones will tend to look on the warmer side.
- Adding depth to darker skin tones
- Really locks in your contour blend with the bronzer and highlighter.
- Applied correctly it adds a more natural tone to your foundation.
The best Blush shade for fair, medium and dark skin?
Getting the right blush for you is down to personal preference but here are some options to make it easier for you.
For fair skin tones, I recommend using:
- Light pink tones
- Soft coral tones
- Peach tones
For medium skin tones, I recommend using:
- Deep pink tones
- Warm purple tones
- Deep peach tones
For darker skin tones, I recommend using:
- Brighter orange tones
- Berry tones
- Vivid purple tones
Which blush is best? A powder Blush or a cream blush?
In general, when it comes down choosing wether to get a powder blush or cream blush, this choice greatly depends on the type of looks you are going for and your make-up knowledge.
Powder blush is quite precise to apply and can be built easily to create depth or the look you are going for. However, if you get too jolly with it, you may end up looking overly blushing.
With cream blushes, these are perfect especially for the spring and summer looks, as they are very light and won’t end up looking too cakey.
The trick is just to find the right blush for you, it might just be that you prefer how either the powder blush applies or the cream blush.
I am opting for a cream blush as I love how easy they are to blend and how multi use they are without drying up your skin.
Let’s focus on the Pixi On the Glow Blush tinted moisture stick collection.
