Match the Texture of Foundation and Blush

Regarding texture,last month's seriesas I wrote, "dewy skin" has been popular for several years, so not only foundation but also blush with a focus on sheen has become mainstream.

While the forms vary, including cream, gel, and pressed types, they all share the commonality of containing pearls or ingredients that create a translucent, wet-like sheen. If the texture and sheen are like this, they will blend seamlessly onto skin created with dewy foundation or primer, and applying such blush will further enhance a lively, dewy complexion.

Where to Apply Color for a Natural Flush?

Furthermore, for a "lively complexion," not only sheen but also a natural flush is essential. To achieve this impression, not only color selection but also application technique is important. Blush must be applied to the areas where the skin naturally flushes. That said, it's very simple. Just move the blush brush swiftly and briefly along the cheekbones from the area connecting directly below the center of the pupil and the side of the nostrils (the area that naturally rounds when you smile) outwards towards the end of your eyes.

This area is actually where your cheeks become red when you run in the cold winter air. By applying blush to the areas that actually turn red, you can recreate realistic, natural, and healthy-looking cheeks. This is precisely why it creates a lively complexion.

The application is very simple, and with recent blushes offering such transparency, it's almost impossible to make a mistake. The only caution might be the amount applied to the brush (or taken with your finger for cream types). Applying a very small amount to the brush or finger and adding more if needed is a method that prevents mistakes and ultimately allows for a faster finish.

This is what creates "lively cheeks" regardless of age!

By the way, the "JILL STUART Loose Blush" selected this time is a modern, moderately dewy type that can reproduce a realistic flush without a powdery finish.
It also contains oil-coated powder, which blends into the skin with a moist feel yet provides a soft finish, making it a blush that allows you to achieve a modern cheek look without fail.

Furthermore, a fluffy puff stick is built into the cap. When you lightly press it against the mesh inside the bottle, the appropriate amount is dispensed onto the puff stick. Applying it by gently sweeping the puff stick over your cheeks... "Oh, it turned out so cute!" Even those who have previously avoided blush, thinking it was difficult, will surely be surprised by its ease of use.

The color and texture create a natural, lively impression on the cheeks of adults as well, despite its girly appearance. It results in cheeks with "liveliness" regardless of age!
