How to choose and apply blush to enhance the face

Blush is the key product to enhance the skin tone. Thanks to the advice of Claudio Fratoni, Nars national make up artist, we explain how to choose the right one and how to apply it

The blush, or blush, is an indispensable ally in the beauty case. We use it to "enhance the skin tone - explains Claudio Fratoni, Nars national make-up artist - and for this reason we have to choose it by evaluating the color of the face".

THE CHOICE OF COLOR: THE BASIC RULETwo quick tips by Claudio Fratoni: if you have fair skin, prefer a product with cold tones, while if the skin is darker, opt for a warm shade "because blush is something that recalls the maximum expression of the skin in the sun".

IN CREAM OR IN POWDER?The make-up artist's advice: "If you have a BB cream, a creamy blush is better for a sun-kissed skin look, if instead you choose a classic make-up, then opt for a powder product".

HOW TO USE THE BRUSHIt depends on the shape. If the brush is oblique, position yourself in the mirror and see where the shadow falls on the cheekbone. Place the brush about one centimeter above. Start from the cheek to the ear, blending slowly. If, on the other hand, the brush is drop-shaped, then apply the product where the shadow falls by rotating the brush up to beyond the temple to obtain a softer effect.
