Coby's Clips-Beauty Tips, Blushing Basics
Hi, I’m Coby Taylor, and welcome to Coby’s Clips. For over a decade, I've been helping women to find a more beautiful look through makeup and hair design. In the next few minutes, we will teach you how to apply makeup like an expert. This podcast will demonstrate blushing basics. And now we are ready to teach you some blushing basics. The tools and makeup you’ll need for this technique are an angled blush brush, a flat highlighter brush, a neutral color blush, and a gold shimmer highlight powder. This is our model Andrea, and we’re gonna take her natural beautiful skin color and cheek bones and highlight them with some of our basic blushing techniques. First we’re gonna take our angled blush brush and our neutral color blush and we’re gonna apply it to the apple of her cheeks. You wanna start here underneath her natural cheek line, moving out towards her ear and hairline, making a nice soft line. Next we’re going to take the flat highlighter brush, dip it into the highlighter powder, shake it off, go under the line you just created and above the line you just created and soften the blush line. This gives contour to cheek bones and softens the blush color. The more you add, the more contour you’re gonna create. If you have round cheeks, you’re gonna want to use this to create a natural cheek bone. You can also take the angled brush when you’re done and add a little bit of blush along the hairline down the nose and on the chin. This just adds a little bit more depth to the face and blends the color on the cheeks. Now let’s recap what we just did. First we used the angled blush brush in the neutral blush color and applied it to the apple of the cheek working out towards the hairline. Then we used the flat highlighter brush with the highlighter powder. We applied it to the upper and lower parts of the apple of the cheek blending the blush color to make it look soft and natural. And that concludes our technique for blushing basics. I hope you’ve learned a few tricks for applying makeup like an expert. Thank you for watching and I hope you’ll be back to see new clips soon. And remember, the most beautiful you is only a clip away.
