DHAKA: Makeup with brush is a common beauty practice for women. The mistakes are usually made in using brush are given below:
Mistake #1: You pick the wrong color
Finding the perfect hue takes patience. The key is to choose something that’s close to your natural flush. The best way to figure out what that is to pinch your cheeks! That generally means a pale pink or peach for light skin tones, while coral and berry tones blend well with darker complexions.
Mistake #2: You don’t start with a base
Notice that your blush has all but disappeared in just a few hours? It might be rubbing off, or absorbing into your skin. One way to stop that and help it last for hours is to start with foundation or a tinted moisturizer. (You can skip the primer.) Not only will this even out your skin tone, but it will also help set your blush, and make it last throughout the day.
Mistake #3: You apply the wrong formula
There are three types of blushes: powders, creams, and stains. If you have oily skin, a stain works well. Creamy formulas are great for normal or combination skin. And despite popular belief, stains and creams aren't so great for dry skin. The formula cracks when its dry, so stick with a powder.
Mistake #4: You use the wrong brush.
A tightly packed brush can pick up too much product and overload your face with color. The better choice? A loose brush because it picks up less powder (just be sure to tap off any excess) so you don’t have a big ball of color right on your cheek.
Mistake #5: You apply it only on your cheeks.
Unless you want to look like a baby doll in a horror movie, all-over application is key. Start with color on the apple of your check. Then, brush it along your cheekbone and all the way up to your temple. This looks a lot more natural.
Mistake #6: And you don’t take time to blend
Applying it in the right areas is not enough. Use a sponge to blend your blush into your face. Remember: Your blush should reflect your natural flush, so you want the color to blend while still giving off a hint of color.
