Hello All!
Sorry if you find the topic very simple or already known. But this is one question we get in mail often. Blushing and bronzing – What are the differences? How are they used and for what are they used? If you are new to makeup, your mind might have raised these questions to you. Don’t worry; go through this quick post.
Before knowing what’s a blush and a bronzer as cosmetics, let me clear first how blushing and bronzing happens naturally 🙂
Hello everyone!
Blue is one beautiful color for an outfit to wear anytime of the year. Isn’t it? A bright blue dress with some amazing makeup on your face will perk up your appearance. Agree? So today, I am going to share with you all the eye makeup I done to match my blue outfit. Be it navy blue, a royal blue or light blue.. this eye makeup will suit any kind of your blue dress beautifully!
Tips for Wearing Eye Makeup with Blue Dress:
Before starting the tutorial, I would like to share some tips while doing eye makeup to pair with your blue dress/costume.
1. Never go for ‘all blue’. It will make you look very tacky. If you wear a blue colored dress, use can use a blue eyeliner and a bit of blue shade. But don’t use only the blue ‘eyeshadow’. Make your eye makeup look a bit more warm using neutral and brown shades.
2. From my experience, black eyeliners stay for a long time than colored ones. I doesn’t mean you shouldn’t add colors to your makeup! But it just means, give a black lining before putting on the colored liner on top of it. This way, the shade shows up really well and moreover, it stays longer. Keep in mind, wearing a black eyeliner with sheer or light toned eyeliners will do no good. If you wear blue, wear black first. It shows up really well and this tutorial is a proof.
3. Unless you are going to play a show in circus, don’t use bright neon or orange eyeshadows with blue color dress! It might make you look all made up. If your blue saree or lehenga has orange in it, no wrong you can add some orange in your look (in a subtle way though) but if in case you are wearing casuals, avoid hard-to-carry shades with blue.

How to Wear Eye Makeup for Blue Dress?:
1. Cleanse and prime your eyelids. Apply an eye concealer and set it with some loose powder. Give a wash of your favorite neutral shade. If it is going to be a festive look, golden eyeshadow will work too. Neutrals work best with any outfit and that is the reason why I love neutral eyeshadow very much.
2. Using an angular brush, apply some chocolate brown eyeshadow on your crease line. Listen, only a bit you should apply- not to the level that you do for a brown smokey eye look. Blend it well.
3. Now apply some blue eyeshadow (either dark or light) from the outer corner of your eye to the middle of your crease line. Blend it well with an eyeshadow brush.
4. Put on your black eyeliner now. Make sure the line is neither too thin nor too thick. Allow the black eyeliner to dry.
5. Wear kajal on your waterline evenly.
6. Make sure you have blended all the shades properly. In this eye makeup look, neutral and blue dominates. You can just find a hint of brown.
7. Coat your eyelashes with mascara after curling it.
8. Use a soft cotton bud to remove the excess shades from sides. Wear a highlighter on your brow bone area if preferred.
That’s it! You are done with your blue eye makeup! Have a closer look of the makeup below.

Hello everyone!
Blush is the most loved makeup product amongst all. Blush gives us that picture perfect look while it also contributes to correct our face shape. Applied in the proper way, it can make chubby cheeks slim and skinny faces look full. The most common blush shade is pink; the other popular colors are coral, bronze etc.
There are four major and common face shapes, i.e. Round Face, Oval Face, Square Face and Heart shaped Face. Not all face shapes required similar makeup or blush applying technique. Different face shapes has different features to highlight and hide. Here are explained how to apply blush according to each face shape.
Round Face: Round face is wider than longer; and that is why you will need to cut down the width to make your face slim. To apply blush on round face, you can take the darker shades as it will help you make your face look slim. Apply your blush in a sideways V on your cheekbones and blend towards your ears. You can also apply only some amount of the blush on your chin area, and make sure to blend it.
Oval Face: Oval is said to be the ideal face, (says who right?). The forehead is little bit wider than the chin. Cheekbones and forehead almost have the similar width but the width cuts itself down right from the cheeks to the much narrowed or can say pointed chin. As said before, oval face is the ideal face; there are almost no parts to hide with blush except for highlighting the cheekbones. Apply any shade of blusher on the cheekbones and gently blend it moving upwards.
Square Face: Square face has a wide forehead and the width is almost similar to the width of the cheekbones and jaw; making the face square shape. Apply any dark shade blush on the cheekbones leaving a half inch space from your eyes; and gently blend it towards your temple. Also apply blush on the forehead and chin area; blending it well.
Heart Shaped Face: Heart shaped faces are very rare. It has wide forehead, little bit wider cheekbones and narrow chin. Apply your blush from the starting if the cheekbones to the middle of the cheeks. You don’t need to blend it towards the temple; the idea is to concentrate on your cheeks. And also do not apply blush on the chin, as the narrow or pointed chin might not look good.
Enhance your beauty by enhancing the specialties of your face shape. Figure out your face shape and apply blush according to it to achieve a professional makeup at home. But, always remember, choose blush shades keeping your skin tone in mind and don’t go overboard or else you will end up looking like clown :P.
