Level up your blush game
Rise & Shine! A powder blush for every look
Many UND GRETEL fans have been waiting for the vegan powder blushes WONNE. The COLOR CRUSH version of the cheek blush is an elegant color duo that, with its signature UND GRETEL multi-use, becomes a darling for day and night. Whether it's a festival or New Year's dinner, office hours or beach clubbing: The matte shimmer of this peach-terracotta duo conjures up vibrant color on your cheeks anytime, anywhere – and also gives your eyelids an extra kick of seductive power.
In the mono version BLUSHED 02, WONNE brings a fruity-pink boyfriend blush to the cheeks – and conjures up this very no-makeup-appearance trend look on virtually every skin tone. This shade is therefore simply the blush of all blushes. Its compatibility secret: It combines a raspberry red with a cool pink undertone with delicate fuchsia pigments and a mineral manganese violet. The effect: a delicate, naturally cool shade that gives every complexion a subtle blush. Just the right amount of naturalness that the boyfriend blush trend needs! Apply the color just below the cheekbones and blend it in, with a dab of highlighter on top for extra radiance. A soft KNUTZEN lip gloss shade completes the supernatural look without much makeup effort.
How to apply powder blush correctly: Here's how
To give your complexion just the right amount of morning-blush freshness with WONNE, it doesn't matter whether you use it on its own on skin that's been well moisturized with ZART or after applying a foundation like LIETH . As with blush in general, with COLOR CRUSH you first apply the lighter shade to the highest point of your cheeks. To find this perfect spot, smile slightly at your reflection in the mirror. This lifts your cheeks, and the brush automatically finds its perfect starting point. The darker shade then follows the curve of your cheekbones underneath the lighter color. To gently blend the two colors, always move the brush from the upper cheekbones towards the temples. This creates a harmonious structure for your face, and the powder blush looks particularly natural. You can use either blush brushes or contour brushes for these makeup steps. The former, with their wide shape, distributes and blends the fine natural pigments evenly on the skin and supports targeted color structuring. And special contouring brushes with their usually slightly slanted, flattened tips are always a dream tool for adding freshness and highlights to your face in no time!
Applying powder blush to the eyelids is just as easy, of course. It can be applied either with your middle finger (with more gentle pressure than your index finger!) or with a special eye makeup brush. There are also special professional brushes for this. You can recognize them by their softly rounded shape, thanks to which any desired color and look can be applied particularly harmoniously to the eye. A tip for dual use: When the eye brush isn't creating depth in the crease or highlights under the eyebrows, it can also be used as a concealer brush. Tools like these create clean eye artwork like something from a professional studio: The narrow brush head applies powdery pigments like those from COLOR CRUSH just as perfectly to the eyelid as it blends the creamy LUK eyeshadow range to create the desired style and effect.
How do powder and cream blush work?
Many makeup lovers negotiate a fundamental attitude with this question. Team Powder often argues with the advantages of better-defined makeup. A powder blush like COLOR CRUSH, in particular, with its two coordinated colors, allows for a variety of looks and intensities. This range of applications is generally lacking with cream blush, which is often available in stick or more liquid form. Team Cream usually requires a bit more makeup experience to achieve a similarly accentuated blush look. But skin texture, age, and the intensity of the makeup also play a role in the decision between cream and powder blushes.
Blush can transform dull, tired-looking skin into a fresh, vibrant complexion with little effort. A touch of color on the cheekbones would be enough, you'd think. But which type of blush, among the many options, all with a specific finish, is best suited to your skin and your individual lifestyle choices? To answer the question "powder blush vs. cream blush" in the best possible and individual way, several factors must be considered.
Creamy blush , with its often skin-like texture, can help create a dewy, natural no-makeup look. And, unlike powder versions, it can be easily applied with your fingertips—perfect for touch-ups on the go. Depending on your makeup base (or personal preference), you can of course also use a blender sponge or a special blush brush. Especially if you want to apply the blush over foundation, dabbing it with the makeup tool makes it easier to distribute the pigments very evenly. The cream look definitely has a more transparent, luminous effect than if you opt for a powder version. And cream blush is definitely easy-going if you want to quickly touch up your makeup on the go. At least on very even skin that doesn't need much concealer or foundation, it's an obvious choice.
Powder blushes like WONNE are generally more highly pigmented and have a correspondingly more matte finish. However, powder blushes give the desired look significantly more coverage and staying power, and the intensity of the makeup can be increased as desired – from natural to dramatic, it's all possible. Overall, you can contour the face more precisely with a powder blush – and thanks to the more intense pigmentation, you need less product. Application is simplified by using a primer like ERST or WEGEN ; the pigments of a powder blush are distributed particularly evenly on the skin canvas thus prepared. Makeup artists always recommend specially designed brushes like the ones mentioned for application. And last but not least, the fact that there is a significantly greater variety of colors in this category speaks in favor of powder blush.
The best blusher for the first signs of aging
By the way, skin texture is anything but irrelevant when choosing the right product. For a more youthful styling effect, cream or liquid blushes without shimmer particles are better recommended. Unfortunately, blush, powder , and shimmer formulations do not do skin with signs of aging such as wrinkles, but also skin with more surface unevenness in general, any favors. On the contrary: They emphasize precisely these skin conditions. Creamy versions can distract from these and achieve a more natural, smoother effect. Colors that radiate youthfulness, such as rose, cool peach, coral, terracotta, or soft red tones, are ideal for older skin. Which of these shades suits you perfectly depends on your skin color and, in particular, your undertones.
