How to choose a rouge for the face?

Routine, stress, poor environment, urban fuss and unbalanced nutrition - all this has an impact on the female image and literally makes use of blush. These tools allow you to refresh your face and makeup, transform the whole.
Palette
- Warm shades. Presented peach, apricot, terracotta, coral, beige-pink shades and any other with admixtures of brown or beige. These include golden variants, brownish without a redhead and bronze decorative tools that do not give the face the freshness that pink pigments provide, but allow you to adjust its shape or accentuate tan.
Shades are selected depending on the subtone of the skin, but there are girls with a universal appearance, which go absolutely all colors of blush.
- Cool shades. The most common representative of the "cold" - classic pink (without impurities of beige or brown pigments). This includes red blush, which would be more appropriate for the evening, and purple shades, which are suitable for daytime wear. The funds are composed of blue pigment. They perfectly emphasize the "frosty" light skin and blue or gray eyes on the nature. Blush can be red or pink, violet colors, they are united by unsaturation.
How to choose the type of appearance?
Types of appearance are divided into 4 seasons: “Autumn”, “Winter”, “Summer” and “Spring” (according to the totality of natural shades of curls, eyes and skin). It is worth considering them in more detail:
- "Autumn". It has a "warm" appearance and has light brown or green eyes, hair with reddish pigment and beige skin tone. Such girls are peach, terracotta, orange, brick-colored blush and light brown shades.
- "Spring". Beauties have naturally light curls, delicate pink, peach, apricot, beige and golden shades of blush to them.
- "Summer". The color type of summer is a classic blond-haired girl with fair skin of a different subtone. "Fly" to face all the "frosty" shades of blush, pink with pearl finish. What should avoid the "summer" girls, so it is red and brick pigments.
- "Winter". She has fair skin and rich dark hair (from dark blonde to black). Representatives of the "winter" - oriental beauties, who have to face the "cold" shades of blush: pink, fuchsia, red and purple.
How to choose a skin color?
The main rule when choosing a blush is that you need to select a “warm” shade for a warm skin tone and a “frosty” one for a cold one. Defining your own subtone is simple: look at the veins in the crook of your elbow. If they are purple or blue - you have a “cold” appearance, green or olive veins speak of a “warm” type. However, there is also a neutral subton - the most capricious, but universal.
Blush for different skin types:
- For the dark. Dark-skinned skin implies a bright appearance, and the blusher is needed more saturated. Choose copper shades - golden, coffee, red, cherry, wine or natural rose colors.
For tanned skin will also be appropriate bronze shades of blush and coral-pink with a twinkle effect (to shade an even tan).
- For light. The classic pink blush tint (possibly with lilac pigment) is especially pale skin. It is important that the decorative tool does not stand out bright spot, and was harmoniously shaded on the "apples" of the cheeks.
For warm, light skin, choose peach and coral shades, a blush with a small "red-haired" - the color of apricot.
Olive skin will suit “warm” golden shades, and their saturation is determined by skin tone - the darker it is, the richer the makeup pigment will be.
Classic beige skin tone goes well with an amber tint of blush.
- For the problem. This type of skin should be separated into a separate category, since it is much more difficult for it to choose a shade of blush If a rash forms in the cheek area, you should refuse blush, because cosmetics will clog pores and increase the appearance of inflammation.
When choosing a shade, rely on a natural undertone (regardless of the natural hair color) and exclude blusher with reddish pigment. For oily and problematic skin, it is right to choose the dry consistency of cosmetics and apply it in a thin layer, creating a hint of blush.
How to determine your color?
It is important to choose not only the pigment of a cosmetic product, but also its coating, which can be matte, satin and mother-of-pearl. For daytime wear, choose the first two options, and for the evening, glossy cheeks with pearlescent shine will do. Professional makeup artists and their recommendations will tell you how to choose your perfect color:
- Determine the tone of your skin and choose the shade of the product, focusing on it. If this fails, go to the next item and start testing products right in the store.
- For light skin, choose a light blush (translucent texture or just a light pigment), for darker - more saturated.
- If you are a happy owner of porcelain leather, choose a bright blush color of apricot. If skin tone can be described as ivory, stop focusing on a pale pink color.
- When choosing a rouge to match your eye color, choose contrasting shades: for blue eyes - pink makeup, for green - with red, for brown - berry, mauve.
- Blush is matched with hair color. Amber, beige, honey colors will be appropriate for light brown hair, berry, red and other bright and saturated shades for dark ones. For red girls fit brick and terracotta.
- If your hair has a yellow pigment, then blush can also contain it. Amber shades are a very good choice.
The best blush - those that are in harmony with the skin tone and emphasize the natural color of the eyes. To select the appropriate blush, conduct a test right in the store and apply a little on the "apples" of the cheek and on the upper eyelid (for harmony). Blush should refresh your face and be used exactly on your cheeks. A little - on the eyes. This allows you to make the image more natural and fresh.
Now it is worth talking about how to choose a blush texture that can be liquid, soft or crumbly, like powder. For girls of young age and with a normal / dry skin type (like mature ladies), cream blush is suitable. Owners of oily and problem skin should choose a solid form of the product.
What is suitable for hair color?
The shade of decorative cosmetics is selected according to the type of appearance - the tone of the face and the color of the eyes. Even if yesterday you were a blond beauty, and today you have become a sultry brunette, this does not mean that you have to change your blush. Do not forget about the finishing coating of this cosmetic product: it is matte, satin and glossy (with shine). So, blush by hair color:
- For the blond. Suitable light brownish options, brick, honey, amber. If the hair is dark blond (almost black), pay attention to the rich shades of blush. For brown-haired women, less contrasting lips that are close to the natural pigment are suitable.
- For blondes. The natural blond beauties are “frosty” pink, light colors and pinkish variants with a matte or satin finish. Blondes of unnatural origin or with a “warm” appearance (brown eyes, beige skin) will suit peach and apricot shades.
- For brunettes. Natural brunettes often have a bright appearance, they are suitable for almost all known shades of blush: peach, pinkish, reddish, coral and terracotta. Brown-haired girls with dark skin even go brown.
- For red. Finding the perfect blush for red-haired beauties is more difficult - it is important to combine the shade of the product with the color of the curls, and with the natural skin tone. Gold and copper options will always be appropriate.
How to combine with eyes?
- With dark brown eyes berry shades are combined: raspberry, delicate plum (for dark skin), wine, peach. For brown-eyed beauties suitable pinkish pink tone (for bright eyes). Beige and brownish blush can not be used - they will make the face pale.
- Green eyed There are classic pink remedies (and copper, if the skin tone is dark).
- Girls with blue eyes Pinkish “cool” shades especially go, peach is suitable if the skin tone is “warm”. It is necessary to exclude the color of plums and any purple hints, so as not to create an unhealthy look of the face.
