FAQs

Answers to Your Blush Queries

  1. How do I choose the right blush shade for my skin tone?
  • Determine your undertone (warm, cool, or neutral) and choose blush shades that complement it. For warm undertones, opt for peach or coral blushes. For cool undertones, try pink or berry shades.

2. Can I apply cream blush over powder foundation?

  • Yes, you can. Just ensure your powder foundation has settled and is not freshly applied. Apply cream blush with clean fingers or a makeup sponge for a seamless blend.

3. What’s the best way to prevent overdoing blush application?

  • Start with a light hand and build the color gradually. It’s easier to add more blush than to remove excess.

4. Is blush necessary for everyday makeup?

  • While not mandatory, blush adds warmth and dimension to your face. A subtle application can enhance your everyday look, giving you a healthy glow.

5. How do I keep cream blush from looking greasy on my skin?

  • To prevent a greasy look, set your cream blush with a translucent setting powder or a matching powder blush. This helps control shine while maintaining the blush’s color and finish.
