Red is a lucky color for Chinese. Especially during the Chinese New Year,
people like to decorate their homes with red accessories. You can see red
couplets, red Chinese knots and red paper cuts everywhere. Red has become
a kind of festive symbol. So why not wear lucky red on your cheeks this
New Year and increase your luck as well as the appearance of your
complexion?



But it is not a simple task to create a healthy flush. There are so many
colors and types of blush to choose from, that thorough research is
necessary to find one that suits you best.

1)Choose Blusher according to skin type

Powder Blush

This kind of blush is perfect for oily skin. When choosing powder
blushes, you should be aware that, in terms of controlling the oil on
your skin, powder blush is much more effective than cream and gel
blushes. However, people with dry skin should be very cautious when using
this product. Though powder is easily evenly applied, it may dry out your
skin and give the appearance of wearing a mask.

Cream or Gel Blush

In winter, many women use cream or gel blushes as they add both color and
moisture to your cheeks. Cream blushes are specially designed for dry
skin. You don't need brushes to apply these blushes. Just use your
fingers.
