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

[@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. 😊

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]

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!!!

[@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!

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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 😊

[@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.

[@carolsarraht]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@Rayonreel]

Thank you for the valuable tips! I'm wondering if you could demonstrate how to apply blush and bronzer?I still get confused about both honestly. And also what to skip during summer? Xx

[@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

[@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!!

[@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

[@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.

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 😍😍😍!!

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.

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.

What would u recommend in this case? Thanks!

[@elizahalbrook7088]

You should look for a color corrector👍

[@nilasaid2631]

@@elizahalbrook7088 I forgot to mention I've dry skin and layers of makes doesn't look good on me which is why I try to use minimal foundation, if I use color corrector+foundation+setting powder or seeing spray and then blush or highlighter that's too much and I'll look cakey! I guess I should just embrace my hyperpigmentation :D

[@elizahalbrook7088]

@@nilasaid2631 well since you've got dry skin it's probably better to go for a foundation with more of a dewy finish, the same way that people with oily skin are better suited for a matte finish foundation. Using a lower coverage foundation will help too, something that's more buildable and gives you more room in how much you can apply for a natural look. The other option is to find a skincare product that can combat the hyperpigmentation. That may take experimentation so i suggest you research the kinds of ingredients your skin may require. The other thing I'll mention is that your skincare before you apply makeup is very important to how the makeup turns out, especially if you have dry skin already. Makeup absorbs well into and lasts longer and better onto skin at the right moisture level. In your skincare, make sure to find moisturizing products so that your makeup will hold better. You may not even need as much of your setting products after your skin has adjusted

I have a very warm undertone (medium/olive) but I love a cool pink blush on me. It gives me a very fresh/baby-like vibe. It's true that a peachy blush would look more harmonious on my skin but it doesn't look as fresh and youthful as the pink one.
