New Liquid Blush From NYX-Clean Beauty

Blush is back, baby. After the contour-heavy years of the late 2010s, there’s been a renaissance for rosy cheeks. Makeup looks such as the “clean-girl” beauty trend are bringing fresh, sun-kissed skin to the mainstream.

 

To properly apply cream blush, ensure your skin is hydrated using products suitable for your skin type. Start applying the blush to the apples of your cheeks — the rounded area that sticks out when you smile. Blend the blush upwards towards your cheekbones and tap rather than swipe. While many prefer to use their fingers, using a tool like a makeup brush or sponge can help to create a seamless finish. While beauty blenders create a smooth wash over the skin, brushes are great for accuracy and precision in placement, so it depends on the look you’re going for.

 

While some cream blushes are light and buildable, others can be quite pigmented, so start with a little at a time and continue from there. If you’ve found yourself over-applying blush, you can blend it upward towards your temples and dab some on your eyelids and nose to create a uniform and monochromatic look.
