Bobbi Brown Blush Matte - Blush Slopes

Consider your skin tone and undertone. Generally, those with fair skin can use lighter shades, while those with darker skin can use more vibrant shades. The best approach is to test the product at a counter to see how the color looks on your skin.

While the formula is safe for the skin, it is designed for the cheeks. It's best to use eyeshadow for your eyes to achieve the best results.

Smile and apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks using a blush brush. Blend outwards towards your temples.

The staying power of the blush will depend on your skin type and how it is set. Using a primer and setting spray can help the blush last throughout the day.

The product is free of many common irritants, but it is always best to test a small area of skin before full application if you have sensitive skin.

Clean your brush regularly with a brush cleaner or mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry.

The shelf life is typically 24 months after opening. Check the product packaging for the specific symbol indicating the period-after-opening (PAO).

Apply the blush in layers, building up the color gradually. Ensure you are using a brush designed for blush and that the bristles are not packed too tightly. The color payoff depends on the shade and skin tone. If necessary, switch to a more pigmented shade or apply it on top of a cream blush.

Ensure your skin is moisturized and well-prepped before application. Use a good quality brush and blend thoroughly in circular motions. Avoid applying too much product at once; build up in thin layers.

Prep your skin with a primer. Set your makeup with a setting spray to help the blush last longer. Layer the powder blush over a cream blush for increased staying power.
