BLUSH explained ! Placement, colors, textures, mistakes | ALI ANDREEA

[@kristinamarie8770]

Cheers to Andreea for being a literal make-up tutor who guides us and inspires us so so much!

[@mashavliegen4436]

She is the best ❤️

[@christinefrancinegreiner879]

She just is a great teacher. When I quit her video, I have usually learned something new.

[@nuwin5]

Thank you! So helpful. Can you do bronzer next? And how to blend the bronzer and blush together to not make it look muddy. Thank you!

[@kimberligalvez2014]

I second that. 🙂

[@nickydreamlady]

That’s my problem always! Sooooo helpful a video addressing these questions!

[@andreaawangku1782]

I would like a video on that also! :)

[@gayesimsek]

from 3 years ago maybe she can make an updated version.

[@suzannemonks5148]

This is what I was going to ask. I feel my bronze and blush can look muddy sometimes so a tutorial on blending both would be great. 😊

[@Franciellestephanie]

Love this channel because it is not about buying new products. It's about learning how to better apply makeup and find the right product for you.

[@camilleragoonath4886]

Andreea is the first influencer who has actually “influenced” me. 🌸🌸 Recently spent a small fortune on makeup at Sephora solely on products that she recommended. 💕💕I’m in my early 40’s and have fallen in love with makeup after watching her videos.

[@squishiebunnie]

I never really thought about it but she is the first "influencer" that influences me as well. I use her tips and product suggestions often. I love my products that I have bought at her suggestion.

[@Mariooo57]

I'm in the same spot. It helps that her approach is much more appealing than what I would usually consider as influencers. What I mean is she won't insist on recommending you certain products in a biased way. Instead, she'll give advices and really focus on backing them with arguments, as well as properly showing the do's and don'ts in an educational and non-judgmental way. I always feel like I've learned something after I watch her videos, and my wallet is certainly the better for it too.

[@magdapopescu9627]

Same here. Fully influenced me. Bought a lot of make up and i do make up like pro. Feel like a lady😇🤩

[@alinajoitescu]

😍🥰thats nice

[@danielaloriga85]

Me too! ❤️

[@melzimelza]

Hallelujah! I got a cream blush a few months ago and couldn't work it with a brush. Then I tried with my fingers but trying to spread it over my cheek removed my foundation and I had trouble softening the edges (always looked like a sharp line)! Tried it with a sponge today and I got the best soft edges I've ever seen. Thanks so much!

[@2cmrinhfx]

How refreshing to get a video on actual technique and guidance on choosing the right makeup colors / types. This would make a great series!

[@tineegonzales7365]

I have oily skin and use the Nars liquid blush. I choose a light pink shade, and then top it with a matte powder blush with a similar shade as the liquid. Blush stays longer on my skin.

[@spais266]

I just loved, loved, loved this video! I'm almost 54 and I have rediscovered the art of makeup with you, Andreea. Your are amazing! Thank you.

[@cnsun17]

I'd like to see you place powder blush on a clean face to see where it should actually go and how it should be applied. Thank you for such a helpful video and I'd also love to see one for bronzers.

[@leslie5595]

Yes please!!!

[@karenkwiecienski3147]

This is the best video I have ever watched regarding blush. You covered every question I have ever had about formula, placement and tools to use. I am one of those whose blush lasts about 5 minutes then disappears. It is so frustrating! Despite seeking advice from the “professionals” at cosmetic counters and stores, I have never found a blush that lasts. I have been layering cream blush then powder blush which does help but I use my fingers for the cream. I am going to try using a blender, which you suggest. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to checking out your other videos. At 71 years old, I still love makeup and I’m always looking to improve my techniques. Thank you!

[@loidaholder2689]

I love this. Can you do one of these for highlighters? I have texture on my skin, and I would love to learn how to use this kind of product, but no matter what I can achieve a good look with it

[@s.stevens4520]

I have the same problem. Try tarte glow wand!!!! It is amazing!!!! Zero texture.

[@r5dorsett]

[@Low-C-Laura]

The most comprehensive and logical blush tutorial on the internet. Thank you because I was making several mistakes!

[@terryhorvath5045]

Dynasty omg..you kill me! Thank you for the education as well as always making me laugh!

[@daybyday6522]

I have learned SOOO much from this channel! A lot of the mistakes I've realized I was making were basic ones, beginner mistakes, even though I've been using makeup for well over thirty years now. I usually do more of a natural, look because I'm pale and freckly, but also older. Your tutorials have helped me be able to really perfect that look and truly enjoy wearing makeup again. Thank you!

[@anachiyo]

Since the day I started to watch Andreea's channel, everytime I'm doing my makeup, I hear her voice giving me advices from the videos! LOL. Love you, Andreea! you are so sweet and such a great teacher.

[@thaliaprofer1790]

I love cream blushes, today I tried to apply them with a sponge. OMG!! What a difference, looks like skin,without disturbing the foundation underneath. Really great tip Andreea!! Never thought something so “simple” would make such difference!

[@reneecampos1261]

This was extremely helpful especially your knowledge on choosing the correct color shade based on undertone. Would love more content on undertones and 💄 makeup. Especially for us older gals. Thank you.

[@sabrinaposh1]

Me too! I bought my first quality lipstick last year based on her recommendation and I love it!

[@empea4403]

Yes! And also a bit more detail about how to determine blush placement for square and round faces as you demonstrated. Thank you!

[@taratrainor5379]

I wish I had seen this video in my 20’s. As a 44 year old woman this has been a game changer for me! Thank you for helping me feel attractive again.

[@ginabryson-prieto7436]

Love this! How about a series,,, bronzer, highlight, concealer etc...?

[@deastover898]

OMG! finally a blush video worth watching. Thank you for taking the time to explain every question I have about blush. I have been doing it wrong for years and have tried so many colors but just can't figure it out. I feel more confident now going in and making a proper choice. I love your videos! Please keep them coming! Your beautiful not just outside but inside too. I love that I can laugh at your little comments too. You make the videos fun and informative. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!!

[@neerasinha-frazer2094]

This was the best explanation of blush I’ve seen. I would love to see a video on how to place a full face of make-up- contour, bronzer, blush and highlighter. Except for contour, many of these products go on similar sections of the face. It would be great to see how to layer & place these products so that they have a purpose & are not just covering the other up

[@dennibee]

This was so helpful for applying cream blush! I would love to see how you use different brush shapes or a dry sponge to apply powder blush too!

[@moyralouise7123]

That transformation when you applied the first blush was beautiful 🥰

[@ave_rie]

0:38 I actually love when artists share their work on YT not just their tutorial/educational videos. 😊

[@Fizshah1]

You always get straight to the point and I LOVE that. Everyone else wastes our time talking random for minutes.

[@carolsarraht]

I love Andreea's pet peeves with the placement of the blush, not only educational, but so entertaining!!😂 ❤️

[@MyMaria1224]

Amazing video! Can you do one for bronzer? ❤️❤️❤️

[@thelegalcode2859]

Yes agree

[@phoenixgirl11]

Yessssss💙💙💙

[@r5dorsett]

[@MariaGutierrez-zc2jv]

I heard about the placement of blushes years ago from Wayne Goss. This remains true to this day. He talked me out of smiling and then adding the blush because it does indeed make you look like you cheek is sagging. I’m glad she talked about the shimmer in blushes and how you have to have perfect skin to pull it off!!! These are great tips!!! Great video 😍😍😍!!

[@ErinCRN]

I’m loving the Ilia cream blush. It has amazing staying power even under masks. I do have a longer thin oval face and blush placement is crucial for me. It does make my face look less severe and more youthful and plump to place in the center of my cheeks to make more rounded. I use my highlighter in a rounded fashion too, to carve out that rounded look.

[@arwenives]

Really helpful! I do wish you would've mentioned cool toned skin at deeper depths - for some reason it seems like a lot of people assume cool-toned can only be light-skinned blonde people and not mentioning cool-toned at deeper depths may contribute to that myth. As an ethnic woman with cool-toned skin, it took me over 30 years to realize I had cool-toned olive light/medium skin and could never find the right foundation because of this myth and makeup counter salespeople always tried putting yellow toned foundations on me that looked totally off!

[@naninuna7440]

the very first time I went to a salesperson she said my skin is delicate, I was very young and didn't know what it meant but thanks to KZbin and some experimentation I realized I am warm and delicate, one of the most overlooked tones, ofc there's always someone who can help if you keep looking

[@xursssulaxx]

i’m light olive and i have the problem too that a lot of foundations will either look pink or yellow on me. I’ve managed to prevent this from happening by dotting on some nyx green color corrector around my face and then going in with my foundation, just blending it together with the green. Its perfect.

[@carrie-joylloyd5785]

Lisa Eldridge another fabulous make-up artist has her own foundation range and so many tones. There are definitely olive undertones in her range, and you can buy testers of four to try out first, and I think they are £2.00 each! Lovely foundation too. I love it. I’m only a customer btw.

[@brendamoon2660]

This isn't talked about enough. Very darked skinned women can have a cool undertone and vise versa. I'm super pale with a strong gold undertone.

[@tuba8943]

The best mua here on youtube with the most helpful videos 🙌🏻 So grateful for these tips 💕

[@zin82e98]

Of all the youtubers teaching makeup since I first started watching years ago, you’re the best and this is the first video of yours I’ve watched. You’re captivating

[@timelessbeautiesbyjacqueline]

Wow this is probably the best instructional video on blush that I have seen yet. Bravo!!!

[@ruthlogan5354]

This was a GREAT video! Thank you so much. Soooo much information. This was very helpful. I'm 62 yrs old and fair complexion with green eyes and blonde (with low lights) hair. I always feel washed out. Due to your other videos i have purchased 3 Glossier blushes and Laura Mercier, They are great. I'm working on placement and not getting too heavy handed. Thank you again for this detailed instruction.

[@dorilyons2286]

I feel so late in the game to discover your channel. Love how you explain everything!! I'm 48 years old and learning new things. I'm guilty of applying blush on the apples of my cheeks, duh! 😳 Total game changer 😊

[@earbobgirl]

“Applying for a role on Dynasty.” So funny because it is true. Great video. I have been making some of the mistakes you talked about. Thank you for showing these techniques - so informative and helpful.

[@fatimaisa5124]

Such a professional. I enjoy your content, thank you Andrea and Alex.

[@MFHudson]

Thank you; fabulous as tutorial that actually acted as a tutorial. Love all your videos, this just had a very different feel! Are you able to also list the make up you are wearing; so stunning and understated!

[@athinamariaverivakiscorone1789]

I love how blush is sooo in trend right now. I always loved the youthful effect, and I never get the very bronzed look. And I think blush look good in everyone. I think that the saturation of color depends of your contrast level and the tone sometimes you csn play with it. Im neutral tending to warm, and I hate when I apply neutral blushes they look very warm, off course warm blushes looks extremely warm. So, I use cool tone blushes and actually looks perfect.

[@christinefrancinegreiner879]

I would love to have examples for the criteria of undertones you mentioned above. This is an issue I still struggle with a little, and I am more guessing than knowing what to do.

[@ilariamasullo3353]

you're such a nice, real, relatable young lady and such a competent professional that I could listen to you for hours, I even watch videos about products that I don't use, such al self tanners, just because it's like listening to a friend and there's always something interesting to learn. so glad I found your channel

[@lisabadell7864]

I love darker blush sparingly applied to my light skin, too light blush colors just sit on top and doesn’t look like it’s coming from within my skin. Fabulous tips for blush, thank you!!

[@kimberleestern]

Love these types of videos! Techniques are so important. I love hearing about new products as much as the next person but knowing how to use any product is more important

[@belindamarie3222]

You speak so clearly, calmly and concise ..and your video is very informative. I think I have a long small face and have wondered where to place the blush to make my face look shorter. You mentioned to put it on the middle of the cheek for a longer face. I will try this next time I use full face makeup. Thanks for that tip :) . You're so beautiful and such a pro!

[@erikaperikamartinez-torres1818]

Your videos have such an authentic vibe. Tyia for being so relatable❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@analara1974]

You can never go wrong with the rosy colored blush it’s the best

[@mrs_j_bolle]

Ok, this was the most helpful explanation for blush placement on normal people, like me, I ever watched. Thank you❣ This was so necessary. Love it❣❣ Thank you

[@caroltu87]

You truly have the heart of an educator. So well explained and easy to understand. Wonderful!

[@njwasif]

The best makeup artist plus a good teacher...

[@elineermens1]

I actually see a few make up artists on insta that apply blush like you did on the “wrong” side. Perhaps not as low placement but a crazy amount all over the cheekbone and apples. Your advice is so much more applicable! Merci!

[@Yogi_in_the_Gobi]

Have been thinking about this too lately!! ❤️

[@Yogi_in_the_Gobi]

@@polina_lago we can all pop a glass of bubbles on Ali's behalf! I've seen a few channels emulate her ideas and style of video but Ali is still the absolute original and the best! With her humour, class, professional filming quality, impeccable taste and excellent way of teaching colours, applications and the rest, Ali absolutely deserves the award. I'm sure her Aunty and niece and other loved ones who have made an appearance will be very proud of this coming achievement!

[@polina_lago]

@@Yogi_in_the_Gobi Absolutely! 💛 Just let's call her Andreea, which is actually her first name, while Ali is her second name 🤗 I can totally understand, why you got misled by the channel name, but I remember that Andreea explained in one of her old videos that this was done on purpose, cause there are many other channels that begin by Andrea/Andreea, and she wanted to stand out a bit by starting the channel name with her surname.. )

[@sasha3432]

I just stumbled upon this video, and I have to say, of all the makeup videos I've watched, this single video is the only one that I have actually learned many helpful things. Merci!

[@eriwemyss2340]

That description of what happens when you're blushing has definitely happened to me! ☺

[@RelaxRestoreReleaseRestart]

Hi. I tried the cream blush with a damp sponge. What a difference! I also brushed on some powder plush over it, and it looks very nice. Thanks for the tip.

[@mindyinoregon3927]

One thing I was wondering about, what do you think about putting a touch of blush on the nose and/or forehead? I've seen others do it, wondered if that was a no no.

[@jeanniesmith3705]

Wow!!! So beautiful when you placed the cream blush properly.

[@charliebellamy6885]

Thank you Andreea, I didnt realize I had picked up some bad habits with my blush application and I was disappointed with my makeup and didnt know why, now I know about my blush. What else am I doing wrong is now what I am trying to work out.

[@shalar01]

Did you use the sponge wet? Great video!

[@eatery7655]

Same question

[@jannellemccarthy3158]

Yes! Blush and bronzer, please. I'm light skinned and love a glowy look so I like to use both but don't want to look crazy.

[@lizlegal]

I am such a huge fan of your work! I feel like since I found you, my make up application and product selection has improved a million times. Although I still mess up my blush because I still apply too much I think. Sometimes it’s hard to separate where the bronzer, highlighter and blush go. So I typically only do two of the three but not all 3. I think we could use a video where you draw more visible lines on your face of where exactly each of these products go, because when you just apply them on and blend we can hardly see it, so maybe with a visible marker on a manikin or something, so we can visualize exactly where it goes

[@vernicelizeify]

love your voice and the way u speak so elegant, soothing and pacing is just right and your explanation is so clear . one of the most professional video!

[@ann6030]

Will you do a full face tutorial using same brand products? Summer Bronze? For dry skin. ♥️♥️♥️

[@annalewickaa]

Thank you sooo much! I've never applied the blush because all the time I tried I looked ridiculous. After watching your explanation and tips it starts to look good. I still have to practice,but your film is so helpful. Have a nice day!🌻

Same! I always find peachy blushes are brilliant and make me look more alive than pink or rouge !

[@elineermens1]

Yes please!

[@elgabandeira]

For me the blushes with orange/peach undertones look the best. The pink/lilac ones look awful, like my skin has a rash or something.

[@tasneemmaqsood5763]

Very informative video on blush. You mentioned position of blush depending on face shape. Can you please do a video on how to determine your face shape? Thanks

[@andrajulie]

Hi Andreea! I would really like a more in depth video regarding the tone, undertone of the skin and give us some examples on models maybe. And also how to determine the type of the skin. I for example have some combination skin, but I also have dry patches and most of the foundations look bad on me. It's hard for me to figure out what foundations are good for me but also to choose the right colour since my neck is lighter than my face.

[@campergal6140]

LOVE THIS!!!! ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰 thank you so much! I have no idea how I got here .. but I’m so glad I found you. I am 61 years old. Normal ( to dry skin) with fair skin and cool skin tone and I think I need a light pink shade? In a cream product. I’m a little unsure of placement but this video helps a lot!

[@andreaawangku1782]

What a fantastic video. Full of such great information. I cant wait to try applying my cream blush with a sponge as up till now its either fingers ( i dont like the finish) or a brush. I love the Fenty cream blush but those Glossier colours look stunning. As always, thank you for sharing your expertise with us! Take care and stay safe xx
