What In The Heck?
I am sure I didn’t reach for that colour blush this morning? I mean, why would I wear pinky red blush with peach coloured lipstick? Have I lost the plot, again? I’m sure it’s pink that I am wearing now. *cue the Twilight Zone music* I wasn’t drinking at 6:30 this morning when I applied my makeup or even on a bender the night before. What in the ham fat is going on here? Who would wear that blush with this lipstick… on purpose?!
*fade freaky music*
What has happened, quite possibly, is that you’ve fallen pray to the call of nature and your naturally flushed cheeks have transcended your makeup and reclaimed your look. This happens to so many of us. So despite your best efforts, your rosey cheeks stand their ground and demand to be noticed. Fair enough. But what if you don’t want them to remain the dominant force? You actually want to wear a gorgeous peachy orange lip and coordinate your overall look to perfection with a suitable cheek. Think of your naturally flushed cheeks as a blessing. A blessing that can be made more or less prominent to suit the look your after. To make your flushed cheeks less noticeable, pair them with a yellow based blush (peach, orange, bronze, coppers and golds). The yellow tones in the blush will hopefully counteract the excessive redness naturally occurring on you cheeks. If that’s not quite able to harness your natural flush, try a tiny smidgen of yellow based concealer on your cheeks first, lightly powder to set and then apply your chosen blush colour. If that’s not enough, add yet one more step to the equation and use a creme blush that is set with a powdered blush. Not only will your chosen cheek colour last longer, but will add just another layer of colour correcting magic for your natural flush to push through. This additional step usually shows your flush who’s boss. After all, there aren’t too many flushed cheeks that can overcome that multilayered approach. See how how go. Good Luck!
