The subtle blush charm

The blush has always been a product that comes and goes, but for Nicolas Degennes, creative makeup director of Givenchy, now comes strong and to stay ... "The blush is a warm pinches of color in the skin.I love blush because it reminds me of simple and genuine emotions, it is the color I love on my face.Reveals a lovely emotion and is extremely feminine ".And it's as this expert says, "people tend to forget that ... color is life!"

It will be your summer ally

With the high temperatures (and the consequent sweat) we are not very pleasant to cover the face with dense and heavy textures.What you really feel.And you can get that with blush's blow.In fact, and unlike other products, the blush works best on naked skin (makeup).And in this sense, Nicolas Degennes stands out as one of the errors to avoid applying blush on fatty products "since the color will stain the skin"

To choose

Although the less evolved makeup product may seem, the blush has also been updated, in terms of formulation and presentation.Innovation has also reached this cosmetic."It has evolved in all textures, materials and colors".Possibly the blush has traditionally been the makeup product with the lowest range of possibilities in terms of texture.But that was before ....Because now you can opt for the blush in its most widespread presentation, in compact powders, but also in cream, in stick or liquid, as well as in loose powders (yes, you have read well, loose powders) such as the new free prisme blush, ofGivenchy;The first of this category.

There is nothing written about tastes (or yes?)

When choosing, in this case it is not necessary to take into account the type of skin, but rather the color of this.In Europe, says Givenchy's makeup artist, we like Sun Kissed Effect Rubores in brown, coral and oranges, "and are less monotonous than the most classic bronze dusts".For light skin, better choose very pale colors, such as pink or parma, and for darker brown or oranges skin, even red for very dark tones ".

Cream blush, prêt-à-porter color

The blush in creamy texture (also in stick) usually merges very well with the skin, but it also usually lasts.In these presentations, says Degennes, tends to move on the skin, “so after its application it must be fixed with loose powders.Although in the skins with dilated pores, the color will stick a little more to the pores ".

These cream or stick formulas are the easiest to apply, with the fingers, and those that provide a more natural and bright appearance, mimicing with the skin.However, they are also the ones that endure less.The Stick format is perfect to carry in the bag and reapply at any time and place.

Powdered blush, from conventional to the latest

Compact powder blush usually provides a matte finish and should be applied with a brush to better modulate color intensity.Of course, before posing it on the face, remove the excess of product, shaking it a little or giving some light touchs in the back of the hand.For a more natural result, smile and apply color in the ‘apple 'of the cheek, the prominent part of the cheekbone;Then, blur the color down and towards the jaw (not towards the temple).

As for loose powders, its effect is lighter."A blush in classical presentation as a compact powder contains binders that thick the formula ... while the advantage of the loose dust on these is that the binders are eliminated and only the color remains," explains Degennes.“Its evanescent consistency gives the skin a fresh, neutral and bright effect.Get a colored transparency that lets us see the skin below as if it were a delicate color veil in the face ".Moreover, to achieve a different effect and give an extremely modern dynamic to color and texture, Givenchy makeup artsuperior of the cheekbone and even under the eye ".

Liquid, light and durable blush

The best thing about this texture, created by Benefit in the 70s (today, its Beneint is already a cult product), it is its great lightness and long duration.It applies and blurred with the fingers and the result remains unalterable for hours.

The firm You are the princess calls them Ruborizantes.“It is not a blusher, nor an illuminator, but discreet liquid effect dyes that enhance the natural effect of the skin blush but, yes, with a much more pigmented nuance.".“Una inestimable ayuda para conseguir ese deseado efecto de 'buena cara' que potencia el efecto natural del rubor de la piel pero, eso sí, con un matiz mucho más pigmentado".

Three professional tricks

Because the blush should not be limited only to the cheeks, degennes proposes to skip those conventions. “Adoro el rubor en verano y me gusta poner un poco en el puente de la nariz para un efecto sun kissed". Asimismo, para potenciar el tono estival, el maquillador aplica, después del polvo bronceador, un poco de rubor naranja en los pómulos y en la parte frontal del rostro, “el resultado es extremadamente elegante".On the other hand, he proposes to add a dynamic effect to the face applying a color veil at the top of the eyebrow.

And the old grandmother (who always works)

And if you don't have a blush at hand, nothing happens. Según la plataforma de tendencias, Beautystreams, “hay un nuevo truco para el cutis que se ha vuelto viral: las mujeres de toda Europa están cambiando las tornas usando lápiz labial rojo brillante para crear una capa inferior rojiza en sus mejillas, frente y nariz antes de aplicar corrector, luego contorno y, finalmente, base para completarlo" .
