Matte Blush
Matte blush settles into the skin and gives the skin a unique glow. It adds a finishing touch to your makeup, brightening up foundation and adding color to your look. Shop a variety of brands to find the best matte blush for you at CVS.
Is Matte or Shimmer Blush Better?
Matte blush and shimmer blush have different appearances on the skin, but both can enhance a makeup look. If you're looking for a soft glow on your skin that looks like your natural blush, you may want to try matte blush. Matte blush doesn't have a shine, so it settles into the skin for a softer finish.
Shimmer blush contains minerals or ingredients that add shine. Shimmer blush helps accentuate the cheekbones and other areas of the face you want to highlight, such as the forehead or tip of the nose.
Matte and shimmer blushes have different purposes, so neither is better than the other, and they both might be good items to have in your makeup kit. For example, Matte makeup is ideal for appearing natural in photographs, especially when using a flash. For a night out, you could choose a shimmer blush to highlight your cheekbones.
How Do You Wear Blush?
To get started, choose a matte or shimmer blush and select a blush brush from your makeup kit. Using a brush helps you apply your powder or cream blush smoothly and evenly. Your face shape determines how you wear your blush. Someone with an oval face might opt for color only on the cheeks, for example, while someone with a heart-shaped face might use blush on the temples as well.
Blush is first added to the top of the cheeks and cheekbones before being blended upward. If you prefer just a small amount of blush on your cheeks, you might consider dabbing it onto the apples of your cheeks while smiling. No matter where you place the blush or how much you use, blend in the blush with soft strokes on the cheekbone and circular motions on the cheeks. If the blush looks too dark, dab it with a tissue, or use a buffer brush to blend it out more.
