Just when you thought that I covered it all, do you know which brush is best to apply blush? There sure are a lot to choose from! Read on for blush brush basics and don’t skip the end, I saved the best for last! 😉
Natural Rosy Glow
Are you looking for a natural rosy glow? This Motives Stippling Brush is the perfect brush to achieve it! It’s actually very airy on the tips, so because of that you will be placing a fine amount of blush which will be easy to blend. Dip the stippling brush in your blush and swirl in circles layering the color until you have just the right amount.
The Perfect Glow
Are you looking for the perfect glow? A fan brush is my go to brush for highlighters, but also shimmer blushes. Apply by sweeping up on the high point of your cheekbones. It will deposit just enough product, without over doing it.
A Classic Look
This brush most likely is the most popular to use for applying blush. Make sure that you hold your blush brush at the very tip. Lightly swirl your chosen blush on the apples of your cheeks and sweep up towards your hairline.
Pop of Color
The Motives Contour Brush has denser bristles therefore will deposit more color onto your skin. It’s perfect for a pop of color and more bold looks. Apply by sweeping up from your apples of your cheeks angled towards your ear.
