BLUSH GUIDE: Every Blush Formula & How to Apply them

[@Hannah-iq6ki]

I appreciate when you give the “why” for best or worst application or “why” for pro vs personal use. These pointers stick with me and your sweet voice is in my head when I’m applying my own makeup. ❤

[@elainebines6803]

I totally agree 👍

[@ladylincoln6691]

I agree 100%. She is so wonderful!

I feel like I just attended a pricey masterclass without the hefty price tag. All your tips are genius! Thank you so much!! Will definitely put what I learned into practice.🙏🏼❤️

[@46bnf]

absolutely agree!

[@peggycassara2810]

Nikki, thank you for this great tutorial. I’m a 71 yr old woman who still loves makeup but at my age it’s essential that I blend all my makeup well especially blush. Love all your tips, I’ve learned so much.

[@46bnf]

me too....I'm in my 70's too, and my make up looks better than it ever has!

[@hpenfou18]

Masterclass. I’m a makeup lover of a certain age yet I always learn so much from you. This was priceless. Now I don’t have to replace all my blushes. And a sweetie and an animal lover too (I’m vegan). Thank you! 🤍

[@kristinegaynor827]

I was putting powder blush right on top of foundation. I will be correcting application method. 63 and have learned so much watching you. Thanks, you are amazing.

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

I really hope this helps going forward with your blush! Thank you so much for watching!

[@Lue-Bolding]

I felt the same way as I watched this! All these years of doing it wrong. Who knew my make-up game could be improved at 49 😊

Just subscribed today! 52! I had a blush snafu Saturday night so this was perfect timing. Except for now I want to buy three of the most expensive formulas! Yay! Thank you!

[@brit_x_d]

Your channel deserves way more subscribers! Your makeup advice is always so helpful and the reviews are informative. I love that hand trick to make pigmented blushes more softer and blended. Thank you for taking the time and making these videos! ❤

[@rrt401]

How do you not have over 1M subscribers???the amount of incredible detail you put into these videos is astounding

[@anewheart4ever]

I couldn’t agree more! I learn so much from her way of teaching us and it makes sense. I also love that her advice is for all skin types, including mature skins. I love being near 65 and more into makeup now than I ever have been! Nikki makes me want to keep learning ❤

[@nancya1430]

I can't believe how many mistakes I make when applying blush! Thank goodness you taught me/us the proper way. It's so easy to follow your instructions, and I appreciate that so much. Thank-you for all of your guidance, Nikki...💜💜💜

[@Rachel-gy3gm]

This is amazing! We need a bronzer tutorial next!❤

[@juliakozowska8007]

My favourite thing about Saturday is watching your videos with a cup of coffee!! Also, a great topic for a video - I don't think I've seen one like this before x

[@mollyjane01]

Thanks for the incredibly helpful blush application video, Nikki! Btw, your whole makeup look today is super angelic-love it & you😊❤

[@audreyso1201]

Wow, the result of the Givenchy blush is magnificent and thank you for all your advice. I love your videos Nikki

I have followed you a while and have no idea how I missed this video,,, it may be the best one you’ve shared. I’m almost 60 and I still learn so much from you! Thank you for these *master classes*

[@joanaddict]

This is why you're literally the best makeup guru on youtube these days. Always in depth and helpful!

[@carolinerabjohn9323]

Thank you so much Nikki! As a woman of mature years I have been struggling to apply blush without looking like a doll….. Your tutorial was just what I needed to achieve a delicate application with both crème and powder formulas. Thank you. Xx

[@janboyd6725]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Lots of good tips and tricks for this 65 year old! Some days I battle so much with my blush looking like a clown! Will definitely try this out ! You are awesome girl!

[@s0fa274]

For the longest time I didn’t buy blushes because I always felt they looked so clownish and unnatural on me. For years I only owned two Chanel powder blushes that I used for special occasions, otherwise I would just skip the step altogether. I realize now since watching you that my dislike of blushes comes from not knowing how to apply them. These techniques have really made me enjoy wearing blush and not feel like I’m wearing clown paint.

[@sudo1529]

Honestly wldve paid for this masterclass. Excellent education

[@ciliadaniel4809]

Omg I just found your channel and it’s really helpful. Now I know how to play with my blushes ❤

[@maryeveylon]

I absolutely ❤ when you show us how not to do things and explain why. I have so many 💡moments so ty! An idea might be to do a deep zoom (if you feel getting even more up close at your face!) as the final shot on the don’t as sometimes you can really see what’s wrong about the don’t but other times it just looks off but you can’t exactly see why. Thank you again for taking the extra time to explain why. It’s beyond helpful!!

[@Ryanneey]

Yah! Blush is my favourite, and I love learning new methods and placements. It can really completely change your face.

[@tanhome7]

Valuable art tips from the Queen Nikki, artist extraordinaire ❤ Bowing to you for these helpful and informative instructions!!!

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Ahhhh thank you so much! You are too too kind to me!!!❤️🥹🙏🏼

[@MercyMariaE]

Nikki I loved this video! Can you please do one for how to apply different types of bronzer?

[@erica.nic0le]

I love this!! I love that you review products but the focus is more on skill and tips/tricks. It makes sense since makeup is your job but it's clear you love it and your take on it all is so refreshing!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@Maggie_Mayhem]

Love that last tip about using your foundation to fix the unblended blush.

[@Sabrina-LosAngeles]

I just purchased my very first blush yesterday !! The Patrick Ta palette. Perfect timing ♥️🙏🏽

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Oh PERFECT timing for sure!!

[@MyBenwah]

I love to watch your videos.I used to do my makeup so quickly.I thought no makeup look that was my jam.i can do just 5 minutes and out of the door.Lately I spend more time blending all the products on my face and patient applying lip liner and lip products on.I used all your advices.Its a big difference and I love it.Thank you for making all very information from you.❤❤

[@sharonkrinsky-mchale2594]

I have been applying makeup longer than you have been alive and your tutorial on how to apply the different blushes was a revelation. I have been loving the cream blushes but have been having streaking problems. Thank you!!

[@janmcmahon7358]

Thank you so much for taking time out to educate us all on makeup application. I am 65 years old and have learned so much from you thanks to your superb teaching skills. I have spent the last 10 years really educating myself about skincare but have neglected the makeup side of things. I would love a video on Korean makeup favorites. Your friend Alex Anele recommended Clio mascara (Korean) and it is such a beautiful formulation that it has peaked my interest. Then your channel made me try the TirTir foundation with your application technique and I love it. I want more Korean makeup recommendations!!! Thank you again for your willingness to teach those of us who need those special tips and tricks

[@krystal941]

Finally!!! The community has been in need of someone like you! Haven’t found anyone doing in-depth makeup education since Jaclyn Hill!!!

[@cheriyost2780]

So much work put into your videos. Thank you for all of them. So helpful and useful.❤

[@ldel6069]

Oh my! This is perfect timing. I’m in the US visiting family and was wanting to shop for cream blushes! And your brushes just arrived! xx

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

That’s so exciting!!!! And thank you for buying my brushes I know you are going to love them!!!

[@cs-yq5ed]

Oh my gosh! That Givenchy powder blush looks amazing, on both the "do" and "don't" sides!

[@rheacourville3667]

Right!!!??? I have NEVER seen a prettier looking blush! I didn't even know there was such a thing as a loose powder blush! I am adding it to my cart asap!

[@denisemarie6131]

Indie cosmetics make loose powder blushes. I have some that are bright and beautiful. Can be absolutely intimidating. Loose powders for eyes and face are what I use mostly. Palettes are easier to see the colors. But I enjoy the versatility of loose powders. Hope you enjoy the new experience!!

[@aassttrrr]

Very helpful, thank you! Especially for the Prisme Libre blush 🌸

[@jackimihalko8955]

OMG Nikki thank you so much for this! I literally have been having an issue with a new blush that I bought. I love love love the blush, but it kept going on patchy. This makes SO much sense.

[@aia1229]

Hi Nikki. I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your tutorials. You are a wonderful teacher and I have learned so much from you. Thank you again!

[@reginakhasanova9934]

Dear Nikki, this tutorial is the best thing I 've ever seen among the hipe of useless videos. I bought Givenchy Prisme Libre blush #6 a month ago and all the trials to tame it turned out a patchy-sppotty disaster... unless I saw this video. It works, I mean, it really does. Thank you sooo very much, your help just can not be over-appreciated 💋❣😚

[@Sonyacita]

I cannot wait to try. I was thinking I might return it and be the only one not in love. I couldn't believe KZbin showed me this Nikki La Rose how to with the very same blush!! User error 100%.

[@Hannah-iq6ki]

I love your N17 brush when applying foundation and now I’m definitely going to try applying my cream blushes with it too. This video is so helpful.

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Oh you are going to LOVE it for cream or liquid blush!!

[@BadIzzie]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I am so glad I found your channel. I appreciate your in-depth explanations that include why and how. There are too many people on line who don’t show products properly. Or they discount the quality of the product because they don’t actually know how to apply it.

[@amyswygert4532]

I’m a long-time makeup user and I learned so much from this video. I can’t wait to use the expert Nikki La Rose blush techniques from now on!

[@monicapatton1405]

So glad you’re showing this, I see so many not preblending on their hand and it makes so much difference! As far as the loose blush, their are many other than the Givenchy, there’s L’Oréal, Bare Minerals, Pacifica, just to name a few.

[@ninjaturtles12121]

you are an incredible teacher and communicator! not all make up artists have this skill.

[@46bnf]

Nikki, I am so grateful for having found you. You are the best teacher! I've learned so much from you, and I think Sephora is grateful too because when I learn how to use a product I go buy it! You're honest with us and so generous sharing your knowledge, expertise and "tips". Thank you!

Hi Nikki. Great tips on applying all different formulas of blush for flawless looks. You’re an amazing teacher in application of all makeups and eyeshadow applications. What would we do without you? We would be a mess. Much love and thank yous for brining to us such great applications of makeup.

[@FluffyJezzie]

It’s so awesome for an MUA to teach actual techniques. Thank you! A great refresher and I learned a few new things!

[@Marwa.AR2019]

I've tried the technique where you place it on the top of your hands, then swipe with the brush and then onto the face. Hands down the best technique ever. I used to place dots on my face😅. Thank you, Nikki, for all the tips. Chefs 💋

Thank you for the advice, I have gone with your advice on more dewey foundations as my skin is mature and my old types werent working, and wanted to try a fresher, stain type blush for summer. I ordered a Milk one and now, thanks to you, I know how best to apply it. Yourself and Marlena Stell have been great sources in my re-education for more mature skin and I appreciate having both of you to advise so much!

[@sp2299]

I just wanted to say thank you for making truly educational content! I have been doing my makeup since I was 15 and an OG KZbin beauty community follower ( we’ re talking the shaky cameras back in 2007 😄) and I thought there isn’t anything else under the Sun that I should know to perfect my makeup application. I mean it looks good on me and I get always compliments on my technique and skill. But boy was I wrong! I have learned so much in the couple of weeks since subscribing. Like I applied this morning my blush with some small tweaks I learned from this video and WOW 🤩 without changing a single product in my makeup bag, I feel my makeup looks better than ever. Imagine what it will be like when I get some of your recommended products as well 😂 Thank you for sharing your endless talent with the non professional makeup enthusiasts ❤

[@nancybagot5700]

Love all your videos, this one is a true gem! QUESTIONS: (1) Can you use the Patrick Ta method with any cream/powder combo? I have several One/Size Cheek Clappers with 3 formulas, so just wondering. (2) Can you use "any" powder to set your foundation for powder blush - I have the Givenchy prism libre pink, Laura Mercier loose powder, and Nars soft matte pressed powder (which is a light color, not transluscent) and Huda Easy Bake pressed powder in Cherry Blossom Cake
