A blush stick is one of the easiest makeup products to use. You can apply it with your fingers, it blends in seconds and it works on both cheeks and lips. Here is how to get a fresh, natural look.
1. Start with a clean, moisturized face
Apply your usual skincare and let it settle. Cream products blend best on skin that is not dry or tight.
2. Dot it on
Swipe the stick directly onto the apples of your cheeks, or dab it on in two or three small dots.
3. Blend with your fingertips
Tap and blend upward toward your cheekbones with clean fingertips. Tapping gives a softer finish than rubbing.
4. Build slowly
Add more only if you want more color. It is easier to build up than to remove.
5. Use it on your lips too
Dab a little on your lips and press them together for a coordinated, easy look.
Choosing a shade
Our dewy blush stick comes in six shades: Bright Coral, Soft Pink, Bright Pink, Soft Mauve, Bronze Glow and Neutral Peach. Warmer shades such as coral and peach look fresh, while pinks and mauve give a cooler flush.
As with any new product, do a patch test first and stop using it if you notice irritation.
