At 61, “cute” is not what I’m striving for. I am an admitted makeup junkie, especially eyeshadow palettes. I’m looking for youthful. I know that I’m not in my 20’s, 30’s or even 40’s anymore. I know that I don’t like the “dewy” look, to me it just looks oily. I really appreciate this new (for me) technique of applying my blush. Thank you.

I’ve learned this “cute effect”, placing blush on the apples of my cheeks. I’m 56, and I’ve never, ever, never, NEVER, done this before. I’ve always placed mine higher up on my cheek bone. I very recently began using a new blush that I was introduced to because my 19 year old niece was wearing it and her cheeks just looked so pretty. We have the same skin tone, so I knew it would look the same with my coloring. I asked her what she was wearing, and immediately purchased some for myself. With my new blush I decided to mix it up a little bit and change the placement. I knocked my husbands socks off 😊, and I’ve had so many other compliments from people not actually sure what it is I’ve changed 😉. I think it’s taken about 5 years off my face, my husband said I look like I did when we first met 27 years ago…but he’s been known to tell a tale or two.

I 100% agree about customizing for YOUR face. It drives me nuts seeing KZfaqrs with short foreheads (like mine) putting a ton of contour and bronzer on the top of their face because that’s what everyone else does. No babe, that’s not for you! You’re just making your forehead shorter! What’s interesting here is that not only does the “wrong” side bring attention to your smile line, it also makes your eye on that side look droopy. Which I’ve NEVER thought about your eyes before EVER. It’s amazing that such a small change can make such a big difference. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and explaining it so well Alex!

The side by side matte vs cream would be great. I would love to see a video about powder, although I know you use very minimal powder Alex! But I get overwhelmed with when, where and why different powders should be used. Loose powder,setting powder, finishing powder, pressed powder, translucent powder, colored powder, so many freakin powders! 😳😳😳 I’ve even seen people using powder foundation to set their under eyes. It’s too much! I’m confused 😂😂😂

@violetviolet888 Жыл бұрын

sparklestarkle: A professional makeup artist will use both on the same face. To keep oily areas from looking sweaty and to tame them. To reflect light where the cream is. When in doubt, less is more. The cosmetic industry wants you to spend money. Look up "makeup artist" and search their videos.

@nancykerrigan Жыл бұрын

Lol, I get it but it shouldn't be. Pressed powder can work well to set. I don't do loose powder because I know I won't use it up and it can be messy. 😂 I use a pressed powder lighter than my skin tone to set my under eyes and one that's close to my skin tone (maybe a bit darker) to set/slightly bronze my face. You really don't have to use all type of powders. Know what's best for you and your skin type.

@em-yn3iz Жыл бұрын

actually, the right side of your face ( the lower-placement side ) added lots more fullness to your cheek which you seem to said you seem to be lacking. since you already have high cheekbones, the higher placement tends to pull your face back ( not in so much a flattering way ) and make you look similarly to a bird with small, pulled back features, and a large nose which seems to be the big focus when you put blush higher up. i would say definitely retry blush like on your right side, i personally think it looks super flattering on you. i put my blush higher up on my face because i have very big apples of my cheeks and having a round face means i need to pull back the sides of my face to make them look narrower. you have a much more angular face shape which can be enhanced by adding fullness to the center of the face.
