| Now we are ready for blusher. For
most T-Girls a dark natural color works best. I use a dark earth tones which
complements my wigs which are all reddish in tone. Generally dark earth tones
work the best. Blusher normally comes in a pressed powder form but is also available in a grease type form. Powder is much easier to apply for most people. Now although foundation is important its not much fun - this is where you can start having fun with your makeups and create your own look. |

| APPLICATION | |||||||||||||||
| The
first part of applying the blusher is to your temples. You need a few strokes
from the back of the temple towards the front of the face upto the hairline and
as low as the eybrow- stopping where the eyebrow starts. This is to make the face appear thinner. You need light even strokes and DON'T load the brush with too much blusher at any one time. Like your concealer the blusher needs to be applied quite subtly and should blend at the edges to your foundation color. Work slowly at first to build the colour up. The second part of your blush application is just under your cheekbone. Roughly a line from the top of your ear to the side of your mouth - the color should be heaviest near the ear and lightest - almost invisible -at the edge of the mouth. Build the color up slowly using even strokes and brushing from the ear towards the mouth. The effect you should be aiming for is (just as the name suggests) a light blush like you would get when embarrassed. Its really important not to go overboard on blusher as too much will ruin the finished effect. Its easy to get carried away here, as the face with just foundation on will look very lack-lustre. Be patient because you wont see the full effect until the make-up is complete. If the blusher looks too obvious at tis stage you have too much on. You'll learn from experience that all make-up with the excsption of the eyes needs to be subtle. Now I usually apply a very small amount of blusher to the sides of my nose and also just under my jawline which has the effect of defining the jaw and also making my nose look thinner. If you are wearing a low cut top you should apply a small amount of blusher under your collar bones and also central to your chest along the sternum which will help 'fake' a small amount of cleavage. We are now ready for the eyes - the doorway to the soul........... |
