Dear Meli, I am new to wearing makeup and interested in wearing a blush. There
are so many options between cream, liquid, and powder that I was wondering if you
had a recommendation on what I should try and how would I apply it? – Annie
Dear Annie, when choosing a blush for the first time, I would recommend a
powder blush as this is probably the most user-friendly option. Powder blushes
look natural and are easiest to blend so if you were to over-apply it, it is really
easy to blend it out to soften it. If you want the blush to pop more, it is also easy
to add more blush without it looking too harsh on the skin. You would also need
to pick up a loose powder blush brush to apply it and it should be applied starting
at the center of the cheeks and then brushed upwards toward the temples. If you
want a more dewy look, then you might want to look into a liquid or cream blush
formula, but I find that these can require a little more practice in learning how to
blend them seamlessly and these might not last as long as a powder blush unless
it is set with a powder afterwards. – Thanks, Meli
