Make up help needed......please

[ladytophamhatt]

I've always applied make up well, know what suits me etc but recently I'm noticed that the bronzer type stuff I use to make me look less dead is just making me look awful.

I think, dare I say it, that as I'm getting abit older the colour/make up doesn't suit me so I'm now at a loss as to what to use.

I bought some maybeline crema blush this morning but have no idea ho wto use it and nowlook like Aunt Sally.

Tell waht i need to do to look human again.

Oh and I'ma tightwad so nothing too ££££

cream blush is evry good - haevnt tired maybelline

top of cheeks donw to apples imo. have oy considedered a bit of mid winter fake tan?

I apply cream blush with a blusher brush - smile then brush into apples of cheeks. Shade depends on your skin tone - I am pale/yaller so use pinky pink, more olive you could use beigy pink.

yes i use wuite a bright pink btu pink suits me
if you wer an atumn kind of colour9 ie wiht a peaches and crema complxzione you could use an apricot)

Do I apply it over foundation? I haven't worn foundation properly for years.....

If your blush cream is too bright you could mix it with a little moisturiser first!

I've got the Maybeline creme blush and I've found that you actually need to apply very little. I dot along cheek bones lightly and then blend in with fingers.
