Add colour to your cheeks with blusher

A fundamental part of our make-up regime, rouge, as it is sometimes known, is typically used by women to redden their cheeks to exude a younger appearance. It has been used as early as in ancient Egypt and was not confined to being applied on the cheeks, but also on the lips. The blusher was even used by men during the Regency period in England!

Choosing the right rouge

Choosing the right rouge for the right time of the day is crucial. These days, there are many various types of rouge out there in the market for the varied skin types. Powder, tint, gel, cream and shimmer, how do you figure which one best suits your skin and which one is best used for which time of the day? Powder is the densest and longest lasting of all and is versatile enough for all skin types. People with oily skin will find the powder a great type of rouge to use. Tint, is also long lasting and like gel which is great for oily to normal skin, it can get tricky to apply because they are fast-drying and can look streaky over foundation. If you have to use this, remember to blend it fast and blend it well. Cream, on the other hand, is applied with the fingers and while it is as dense as the powder, it allows the skin to show through. Its rich moisturizing ingredients make it an ideal choice for those with dry skin. For night, nothing works better than shimmers as they give a light gleam to your cheekbones.
