Cleanse and Moisturize Your Skin
The first step in applying powder blush on top of foundation is to make sure your skin is clean and moisturized. Use your regular cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup residue. Then, apply a light moisturizer, and wait for it to absorb completely into your skin before moving on to the next step. This will ensure that your blush goes on smoothly and evenly.
Apply Foundation
Next, apply your foundation using a brush or sponge. Make sure to choose a foundation that matches your skin tone for a natural-looking finish. Apply a thin layer of foundation, and blend it into your skin using circular motions. If you prefer a full coverage look, you can apply an additional layer of foundation.
Choose Your Blush Shade
When choosing your powder blush, it’s important to pick a shade that complements your skin tone. If you have a warm skin tone, opt for coral or peach shades. If you have a cool skin tone, choose pink or berry shades. It’s always a good idea to swatch the color on your cheek to make sure it looks good with your foundation.
Apply Blush
Using a blush brush, lightly dip into your powder blush, tapping off any excess. Smile to find the apples of your cheeks, and apply the blush in soft circular motions. Blend the blush upwards towards your temples for a natural-looking finish. If you apply too much, you can always blend it out using your foundation brush or a clean sponge.
Finish with Setting Powder
To make sure your makeup lasts all day, finish with a light dusting of setting powder. This will also help to blend your blush in with your foundation for a seamless finish. Use a large fluffy brush, and apply the powder all over your face in a light, sweeping motion.
