Do you wish to sharpen up your look while keeping it low-key?

With so many tints coming in every new season, there is a lot of intrigue around how to use tint on cheeks. When you talk about making it look like your own natural rosy glow, it must appear like you have just left the gym. 

For starters who are wondering what is cheek tint? A cheek tint is a hybrid product that blurs the line between a lip stain and a gloss. It comes in different formulations of pigments that can be used on your face, lips, and eyes. 

Here we have suggested a few tips on creating a super smooth canvas and an easy melt-away flush from within the skin look. 

Wash your face

For a fresh makeup application, you need to make sure no dirt and grime is sitting on your skin and it is squeaky clean. So, you need to wash your face with a face wash of your choice and dry it. 

Moisturizer

If you want glowing skin that doesn’t look dry, hydration is imperative. To get maximum nourishment from within, we also suggest using a hydrating face mask. moisturizing with a face cream or a hydrating primer is also a very important, non-negotiable step. Applying this would also let the makeup glide smoothly on your skin. 

Foundation

Next up you need to apply your foundation evenly all over your face and neck like you would normally do. 

Chose the shade

At first, you need to understand what shade of cheek tint would suit you best, and for this, you may need to experiment a bit as you try different colors on your skin to see which suits you best. The color should look natural and also match your skin tone. 

For a uniform blending, we suggest you opt for shades that are not more than two shades darker than your skin tone. You can go for a darker hue on the inner side of the cheeks and move towards a lighter one for the outer side. 

Darker shades of tint would look good on dark complexions and olive skin while pale skin would call for lighter, muted shades of pink and peach. 

Blend

For just a hint of color on your cheeks, you can dab a tiny dot of the stain on the end of your fingertip. Then smile as you look into the mirror to find the apple of your cheeks. Apple is the round part of the skin that fluffs up when you smile. 

You may then dab the tint on your cheek and spread it using a sponge or makeup brush towards your hairline, then on your temples, and to your neck to create an overall flushed warmth. You must ensure it is blended properly into your skin. 

If you want a more prominent look, you can go with a thin streak of tint rather than a dot. Similarly, spot the apples of your cheeks as you smear a thin line of tint towards your hairline at an angle. Finally, blend it properly into your skin with a brush or beauty blender. 

After you are done applying the cheek tint you can conceal the area around the sides of your nose to avoid any major discoloration. 

Add some luster

To take the blush to the next level you must add some highlighter. You can use some light strobing strokes with your fingertips as you apply the highlighter on your cheekbones and the high planes of your face. To finalize the look, spritz on some face mist to make the skin look as supple as possible.
