Apply Yellow Blush

Yellow blush is a new makeup trend that is being embraced by beauty bloggers and Instagram makeup artists. The shade can be applied to any skin tone, which makes it a very versatile color. When you wear yellow blush, choose a shade, create a look, and experiment with other looks.

Steps

Choosing a Shade

1. Use yellow eyeshadow for blush. Yellow blush isn’t a product yet. To get this effect, try yellow eyeshadow. Many different makeup companies sell yellow shades, often under the name of neon.
   • Some companies put out yellow shades like buttercup or golden. Others may be under names like sunshine.
2. Try lipstick to make a cream blush. Yellow lipstick is another product you can use to make yellow blush. Start with a satin or matte lipstick. Get a decent amount of yellow lipstick onto your fingers. Warm the lipstick between your fingers by rubbing them together. Apply it just like you would with a brush.
   • Other lipstick finishes can be used if you want to experiment with shade and the finish on your cheeks.
   • You can also use a foundation brush if you want instead of your fingers.
3. Mix yellow pigment with traditional blush. You can alter the shade of the yellow blush to achieve something more golden or even orange. Take yellow lipstick or eyeshadow and mix with a red, peach, or pink toned blush. Experiment mixing these colors to make your own golden shade.
4. Apply the blush last. Do all the rest of your makeup before you apply the blush. Make sure you have already applied your foundation, moisturizer, concealer, highlighter, or powder. The blush should be the last thing you do.
5. Apply it along your cheekbones. Yellow blush is applied with a technique called draping. To do this, start your blush at the outer corner of your cheekbone and temple. Then, apply the shade down to the apple of your cheek.

Creating Your Look

1. Pair the blush with other yellow makeup. One way to wear yellow blush is to wear it with Wear-Yellow-Eye-Shadow and yellow lipstick. Wearing all yellow makeup can give you a fun spring look.
2. Wear contrasting tones. Another way to wear yellow blush is to pair it with shades that contrast with the yellow. Many people pair yellow blush with blue and red makeup. You can try red or blue lipstick or blue eyeshadow.
3. Pair it with neutrals. Wearing neutral eyeshadow or nude lips is also a fashionable way to wear your yellow blush. Beige and peach-toned eyeshadow can enhance your beauty but not take away from the pop of color from the yellow blush.
   • Try brown eyeliner and mascara to soften the look.

Experimenting with Looks

1. Wear yellow eyeshadow under your eyes. If you’re nervous about trying this bold look, start with something small. Instead of putting it directly on your cheeks, start by applying yellow eyeshadow just under your lower lids when you wear yellow eyeshadow. This can get you used to the look before you put it on your cheeks.
2. Layer the product for milder or bolder looks. You can apply as much or as little yellow blush as you want. You can make it light for a gentle highlight, or you can apply thicker layers to build a bold, daring look. Experiment with both to determine what works for you.
3. Wear it with confidence. This is a bold makeup choice and may not be for everyone. If you decide to wear yellow blush, be confident and have fun with it. You may get some strange looks, but remember you are on the cutting edge of makeup fashion.
