Getting Started with Blush Application: A 2021 Guide for Beginners by Nina Ubhi


**Introduction**
Our primary focus in this article is on an incisive, creative, and exceptional makeup tutorial video. We long to share a captivating beauty journey with you. The video is an elaborative guide on the famous smokey eye look mingled with a refreshing glow-up technique, sculpting out a perfect evening look. Buckle up as we break down this tutorial into detailed, chewable size steps marked by essential tips and tricks.

**Step-by-Step Guide**
1. **Skincare:** The first step is skincare. A finely hydrated skin provides a perfect base for makeup. Apply a hydrating serum, followed by a moisturizer. Dab on eye cream underneath your eyes to help reduce puffiness and fine lines.

2. **Base:** The makeup artist introduced a silicone-based primer to prep the skin for a flawless base – this is key before applying any foundation or concealer. Then, she used an illuminating foundation – lightly layering and blending into the skin to achieve a natural finish.

3. **Smokey Eye:** Initiating the smokey eye, the artist applied an eye primer as a base. An earth-toned eyeshadow was bumped onto the crease line, followed by blending a darker shade on the outer corners ‘V’. Next, a shimmery eyeshadow was patted onto the lids. The steps were topped with applying ample mascara.

4. **Finishing Touches:** The artist signified contouring, highlighting, and bronzing techniques for a final touch. A smudge of nude lipstick was the last addition.

**Key Tips and Advice**
The artist lays emphasis on skincare as a fundamental step for a successful makeup look. The choice of brushes plays a critical role too, hence investing in quality brushes is advised. Combined use of fingers and brushes for blending opens up a new realm. A pro-tip shared was the use of white eyeshadow to make the center of the lid pop.

**Conclusion**
The overall message of this tutorial is embracing personal style while achieving glamorous eyes. The artist encourages viewers to experiment with colors and textures while adhering to some shared effective techniques. The demonstration drives home the notion that a good makeup look is nothing but an extension of good skincare.

**Product and Tool Listing**
1. **Skincare:** Hydrating Serum, Moisturizer, Eye Cream
2. **Base:** Silicone-Based Primer, Illuminating Foundation
3. **Smokey Eye:** Eye Primer, Earth-Toned Eyeshadow, Darker Shade Eyeshadow, Shimmery Eyeshadow, Mascara.
4. **Finishing Touches:** Contour Kit, Highlighter, Bronzer, Nude Lipstick

    Thank you SO much for these "basics" videos!!!! I'm almost (ugh) 50 (!) and just now learning from you what most others learned when they were in the young 20s/high school age. (Strict Catholic mother who severely forbade ANY makeup) Your vlogs are so easy to follow and I love G.R.W.Y.! Thank you for helping me and thousands of others look and BE our best!

    hello! Thank you so much for such a well explained video about Blush! I really struggle with uneven blush so there's always more blush on one cheek than the other and in the end I look like a clown, haha! Do you have any tips to get more even blush?

  • Posted May 8, 2024 5:33 am
    by @Tralalak73

    Great video! Thank you for that. Are there any specifics for a round face, please? (either with its placement or better use it with a bronzer, etc.)?

    Nina what about contouring 😔I struggle in tht area

  • Posted May 8, 2024 5:33 am
    by @Maclyn88

    I'm exactly who this video is for haha! Thank you for making it ☺️ I joined the military at 18, and never got into makeup really after getting out. My day-to-day is filling my brows. When I'm being "fancy" I put mascara on my top lashes.
    Contouring tutorials and some make-up tutorials that are really intense and have so many steps are so overwhelming, and I don't own so many products.

    But, I was trying to think of something else simple to add for dates and was like …ooo blush!…that'll be easy haha. But then it always looked kinda clownish when I put it on, so would just take it off.
    It's incredible how much the proper placement can make a difference! They'll always be people like me that need simple videos, so thanks! ☺️

    It’s great to review the basic because I for one was doing it wrong for years and then I just stopped using it because it didn’t look good but it’s because I was doing it wrong. I recently learned to put blush the correct way in the last few years. So imagine putting blush wrong since 16.

    Great video & you look gorgeous! I like Mac Warm Soul for a natural colour. For a pink one, I have a Napoleon blush stick in a rosy pink, but wouldn't mind getting a deeper pink maybe like "Mac Glo Play Rosy does it" but might go and try it to check it isn't too dark.
