DIY Shea Butter Cream Blush For Beautiful Skin
The way we apply makeup plays a major role in how impactful our look is. Following the right steps in the makeup routine not only gives you a flawless look but also assures you of a long-lasting, glowing skin. With makeup, we need to be extremely conscious about what kind of products we use. It is important that the products that we use suit our skin type.
One of the steps that are essential when applying makeup is the application of a blush. We would have come across blushes that are cream-based and then those that are powder-based. Read on to know the difference between the two kinds, what works better and how to DIY for most effective results.
What Is A Cream Blush?
Powder blush is typically used by people who have an oily skin type. The powder blush gives a matte finish look. Cream blush, on the other hand, is suitable for dry or ageing skin. The formula followed to create a cream blush ensures that it leaves the skin well hydrated. Cream blush melts seamlessly into our skin and a dewy look is achieved with the application of a cream blush. The colour of the skin obtained after the application of a cream blush appears more natural when compared to powder blush. It leaves behind a moist texture that grants your face a luminous glow.
Why Is It Essential To Use A Cream Blush?
Wearing blush is essential. Your makeup is incomplete without the use of a blush. Moreover, if you have a dry skin, then it becomes all the more important why you should be using a cream blush. Considered a miracle cosmetic, a cream blush brightens up your entire face. Compared to the use of bronzer, blush is much more wearable and a face product that is globally used. Its application is simple and there are remote chances that you would ever mess up the application of a cream blush. Being classy, blush does become one of the must-have cosmetics in your makeup kit. A cream blush can also be used as a lipstick or a highlighter for your eyelids. Cream blush is a great way to brighten tired faces. It works wonderfully in adding depth to darker skin tones.
How To Make A Cream Blush At Home?
It is a well-known fact that not only branded cosmetics are expensive; they are also loaded with chemicals. Prolonged use of chemical-rich blush can lead to skin issues later. It is therefore advisable to follow the below technique to prepare a cream blush at home.
The ingredients required are:
•
1
tsp
shea
butter
•
½
tsp
emulsifying
wax
•
1
tbsp
aloe
vera
•
1
tsp
cocoa
powder
•
1
tsp
mica
powder
or
2
tsp
natural
mineral
powder
Steps for preparation:
•
Use
a
double
boiler
to
melt
the
shea
butter
and
emulsifying
wax
until
they
are
completely
melted.
•
To
this
add
the
aloe
gel.
Whisk
the
mixture
until
the
aloe
gel
has
completely
mixed
and
turned
into
a
smooth
mixture.
•
Turn
off
the
heat.
•
Begin
adding
the
colour
now.
Keep
adding
the
mica
powder
and
the
cocoa
powder.
Add
only
a
tiny
pinch
at
a
time.
Keep
adding
bit
by
bit
till
the
desired
colour
is
achieved.
•
You
can
then
dip
the
tip
of
a
spoon
into
the
formed
mixture.
Let
it
cool
down
for
a
few
seconds.
•
After
it
has
cooled
down,
test
the
colour
and
the
coverage
on
your
cheeks.
This
is
to
ensure
that
you
have
created
the
right
tone
that
would
suit
your
skin
tone.
•
Now
place
the
mixture
in
a
separate
container
of
your
choice
and
let
it
cool
down
completely.
The above steps give you the best preparation process as to how you can create a natural, perfect cream blush that is not just safe compared to artificial cosmetics but also grants you a glowing and bright look.
Tips To Remember While Preparing The DIY Cream Blush
•
If
you
add
the
colours
(cocoa
powder
and
mica
powders)
to
a
lotion
that
is
pre-made,
then
you
would
get
a
very
smooth
blush.
You
can
continue
to
experiment
with
the
colours
until
the
desired
shade
is
obtained.
When
preparing,
the
blush
would
appear
darker
than
how
it
would
actually
when
applied
onto
your
cheeks.
•
With
a
homemade
lotion,
you
can
customize
the
blush
as
per
your
wish.
When
you
use
more
amount
of
vegetable
wax
with
the
homemade
one,
then
you
get
a
thick,
long
lasting
blush.
On
the
other
hand,
when
you
use
more
amount
of
aloe,
you
will
obtain
a
smooth
and
subtle
mix.
•
If
you
add
more
of
the
reddish
mica
powders,
you
will
get
a
pinkish
hue.
If
you
add
more
of
the
cocoa
powder,
you
will
get
a
brownish
hue.
Applying The Blush The Right Way
Remember to apply the blush starting from the region near your ear and then move down towards the cheekbone and then towards the mouth. You can add a little touch of blush near the chin. You can blend it well to make your face appear longer. You can apply blush below the outer corners of the eyes and blend it well. Ensure that the blush does not extend beyond the tip of your nose.
Apply the cream blush directly over your foundation. The cream blush should always be applied before you set your makeup using a powder.
Remember
the
life
of
cream
blushes
is
usually
shorter
than
that
of
powder
blushes.
Although
cream
blushes
are
difficult
to
apply
when
compared
to
powder
blushes,
applying
it
correctly
will
give
your
face
a
youthful
finish
that
is
especially
helpful
in
dry
climates.
It
is
great
for
ageing
skin.
It
lends
a
glowing,
dewy
look
to
the
face.
