Are You A Victim To Blush Blindness? Here's How To Tell
Ever found yourself in a situation where you reached for the blush and continued layering it because "it didn't feel quite enough". I have found myself in this situation more times than I can remember, if any of this sounds like you might be a victim to blush blindness.
What Is Blush Blindness? It's the phenomenon where someone applies so much blush that they become unable to realize the excessive amount of colour they are wearing. It's a term coined by the internet for the feeling of gradually applying blush until you reach a point where it's visibly undone, but you're still not aware of it.
This "blindness" isn't something new, it's been lurking for years, remember 2010s overdrawn, thick eyebrows or orange toned fake tans, the aggressive bronze shade that none of us were blending beyond the jawline.
How To Escape Blush Blindness
Before you let the blush have a party on your whole face, give it a few minutes to settle into the skin, it makes a huge difference before deciding if you need to add more product.
2. Make sure when applying a blush, you're using a large mirror instead of a small compact one which will help you see your whole face rather than a focused area resulting in an overall balanced look.
3. While going in straight with your fingers has been popularized by many celebrities and beauty influencers, try using a soft, angular brush which will help in precision and blending.
4. Go for a shade that complements your skin tone rather than what is the most viral blush right now, If you are fair skinned go for light pinks and peaches, if you are medium skin tone to dark try choosing more reds, and plum shades.
5. Lastly, try applying blush in natural light if possible or after done applying, check how it looks in natural light to make sure the look is balanced.
So, Is Blush Blindness A Bad Thing?
The best part about makeup is it's a unique reflection of who you are, So if you're someone that likes a subtle blush look than a super rosy one you can skip the trend but if you're someone that loves the flushed look, There's nothing wrong with it.
