Simply dab a small amount of lipstick onto your fingertips and gently blend it onto the apples of your cheeks. This technique works particularly well with liquid lipsticks due to their long-lasting nature, providing a blush that lasts for an extended period.
Using Lipstick as Blush: A Step-by-Step Guide
Here's how to effectively transform your lipstick into a cheek blush:
- Choose Your Lipstick: Select a shade that complements your skin tone. Creamy or liquid formulas often blend more easily.
- Apply Sparingly: Use your fingertip to take a tiny amount of lipstick. Start with less than you think you'll need; you can always add more.
- Blend, Blend, Blend: Gently dab and blend the lipstick onto the apples of your cheeks using your fingertips or a makeup sponge. Focus on creating a natural, diffused look. Avoid harsh lines.
- Build Gradually: If you need more color, add more lipstick gradually, blending thoroughly after each application.
Why Liquid Lipstick Works Best?
As mentioned in the reference video, liquid lipsticks are super long-wearing. This translates to a longer-lasting blush.
Tips for Success
- Start with a small amount: It's easier to add more than to take away excess.
- Blend well: Avoid a harsh, clownish look by thoroughly blending the lipstick into your skin.
- Consider your skin tone: Choose a shade that complements your complexion. Nude or pinkish shades often work well for most skin tones.
