Here are a few tips on how to apply blush if you are a bride to be and look your best.

Bridal Makeup Blush – How to Apply Blush?

1.Choosing the colour according to your skin tone:

• It is important not to look too made up at your wedding yet retain that rosy glow on the cheeks.
• If your complexion is wheatish or a little darker, then go for rosy brown blush for contours. This will accentuate your looks.
• If you have very fair to pale pinkish skin tone, then go for orangish rose shade, which is almost neutral to rose. Brownish rosy shades will look streaky and tanned on your skin tone. So avoid darker rose shades.
• For cheeks, always select a colour that is a tone or two lighter than the one you have selected for the contours.

2. Application of bridal makeup blush –Selection of brushes:

• Be careful about the selection of the brush. If you go wrong with the brush, you will end up with a streak on your face. You certainly do not want that to happen.
• Go for angular brushes for cheek hollows. For the apples go for a big blush brush.
