Happy LBD, Mes Amies!
Are you all enjoying this long weekend?
Last weekend was my birthday. My dear friend, Amy gave me a Sephora Gift Card (she knows me!)
I used this gift card to restock my liquid blush.
For years and years, I used powder blush, I mean who hasn't? However, on an impromptu trip to Sephora last fall, I saw that they had "Orgasm" blush in liquid form. I bought it and was immediately hooked.
Liquid blushes might be labeled as gel, tint, creams or stains. All in all though, they are all pretty similar. They are pigments in a non powder form. If you have skin that is more on the oily side, a tint will be your best bet. They are water based and have much greater staying power than powder blushes.
If your skin runs dry, or mature, opt for a cream formula.
Okay, so you might be saying "Why do I need a liquid blush?" I'm so glad you asked, there are many benefits.
- It looks far more natural. It looks much more as if this is your natural coloring and not a cosmetic.
- It is not aging in the way that powder blush can be. Each layer of powder products that you apply to your face makes your overall look appear cakey.
- Liquid blush has far more staying powder than its powdered counterpart.
- Use a very small amount. A little goes a very long way. You can always add more, but too much will make you look like you should have a red nose and a lapel flower that squirts water.
- Use your favorite blush brush for application. Sure, you can use your fingers. Personally, I find that this gives a streaky application though. a blush brush makes for a far better blending.
