Applying Blush for Photo Shoot Makeup

Video Transcript

Now that the bronzer is on, we're going to move on to blush. As far a blush goes, you have few options. If you have a darker skin tone, you can use a neutral brown or a neutral plum. She's got very porcelain skin, so I'm going to use a very neutral pink, kind of like a rosy pink. You want to use it very sparingly at first. You don't want to use too much blush. You want to go right onto the apples of the cheek. Like I said, use a little bit at a time. Add a little more as needed. This is just a rosy glow. It's like if you went for a run, how your cheeks would naturally blush. Because it's for photographic, you want to put it on a little bit heavier than you normally would. You really want to contour the cheekbones. On camera, if you don't have enough blush on, you're not going to notice any sort of cheekbone. You want it a little bit darker than normal, but still neutral. The best judge of this is to take your digital camera and take pictures of yourself with the different levels of blush or makeup to see what looks best. You don't want too much make up, but you want a little more than you normally would for everyday purposes. See how here cheekbones stand out now.
