Which Blush Suits Me?

From powder to stick: The lavera blush guide

How do I find my blush colour?

Have you always wondered that? And when should I use blusher as a powder, a cream or a stick? With our blusher guide we offer you a little help in choosing your blusher.

The most important thing first: the skin undertone

Your skin undertone is crucial for choosing the right blush colour. You can do this by looking at the veins on the inside of your wrist in daylight.

If your skin undertone is cool, they will shimmer more bluish. Greenish veins indicate a warm skin type. If your veins have neither a bluish nor a greenish shimmer, you most likely have a neutral skin type .

Powder, cream, stick- which blusher suits me?

When buying the right blush, it's not just the colour that matters. The right consistency is also important. It should harmonise with your skin type. Whether as a powder, cream or stick - we'll give you an overview of the different textures here.

The classic:

Powder blush

The classic blusher in powder form is still the most popular. This blusher is the better choice, especially for those with oily and blemished skin, as it mattifies the skin and does not add any additional glow.

Powder blush can also be used alongside highlighters and bronzers that are also in powder form, as the transitions are easier to blend. Powder blushes are also suitable for make-up beginners, as they are easier to apply and blend.

Pro tip: The more powder blush you use, the better you should blend it with a brush- otherwise you risk harsh transitions and unsightly edges.

Soft and nourishing:

Cream blush

Cream and liquid blushes are ideal for dry or mature skin as they can provide the skin with additional moisture and care without drying it out. Thanks to their creamy consistency, the delicate shimmer particles do not settle so easily in dry wrinkles and ensure a silky complexion.

You can now find cream blush in many forms: in a jar, in a tube, as a so-called cushion blush (with an integrated sponge) or in a stick form.

Blush Stick- Small stick, big impact

The Multi Balm sticks are practical make-up multi-tools for on the go. Thanks to their compact shape, a blush stick is easy to transport, takes up little space in your make-up bag and is easy to use. The creamy consistency is quick and easy to apply and can be gently blended either with the stick itself or with clean fingers!

Pro tip: You can build up the colour intensity as you like by applying the product several times. FYI: the Multi Balms can also be used as a lipstick or a creamy eyeshadow.

The advantages at a glance

Your most frequently asked questions about blush

The darker the skin tone, the stronger the blush can be. There is also a simple answer to the question of which blush is suitable for light skin: a delicate, lighter blush is perfect for lighter skin types.
Hair colour is not the deciding factor when choosing the right blush colour. Rather, you should choose your colour based on your skin undertone
That's not an easy question to answer and depends on your skin type and styling preferences. Liquid blush has a clear advantage over powder blush: it's also very suitable for dry skin . The creamy or even liquid texture is often enriched with nourishing ingredients and doesn't settle so easily on dry areas. Powdery textures, on the other hand, are more suitable for those with oily or combination skin.
For powder textures, a soft brush is ideal for applying and blending the powder evenly on the face. It should not be too big so that the product can be applied to the areas of the face that need to be emphasised. A brush that is too small should also be avoided as it can make blending more difficult and lead to patchy and unnatural results. Powder blush can be applied directly to the skin or to make-up.
Here's how: Take some powder with a brush, apply it directly to the cheekbones and blend it towards the temples. Our tip: A little blush on the nose and chin can add even more freshness.
How to apply cream blush?
There are various ways to apply a cream blusher or a blusher stick. It is particularly easy to dab the product directly onto the skin with clean fingers and blend it.
Did you know? Body heat allows a cream blush to blend beautifully into the skin and achieve a natural result.
You don't want to apply your blusher with your fingers and are wondering which brush is suitable for cream blusher? Special, large blusher brushes are ideal for cream blushes or liquid blushes. With them you can apply your blusher evenly and blend it seamlessly. Alternatively, you can also use a clean sponge.

Which blush colour makes you look younger?

Depending on your skin tone, natural pink, peach and coral tones can conjure up a wonderful freshness in your face and make you look younger. However, for the most natural touch, you should only use a small amount of blusher. If you apply too much, it could accentuate the wrinkles and make you look older.

A blush with a light, natural shimmer can make your skin glow and look younger. Matte or – on the contrary – overly glittery blushes can further emphasise fine lines and wrinkles.

The way you apply it can also contribute to a younger look. With the right technique, you can quickly and easily achieve a lifting effect . To do this, apply the blush to the highest point of your cheekbones and blend it upwards towards your temples. This visually lifts the cheeks and makes the face look fresher and firmer immediately.
