How to Apply Rouge

Rouge is a type of cosmetic used to add color to the cheeks and create a more youthful and radiant appearance. Applying rouge, also known as blush, is a simple process that can be done in a few easy steps. Here's how:

1. Choose the right shade of rouge for your skin tone. For fair skin, go for light pink or peach shades. For medium skin, choose shades of rose, mauve or berry. For darker skin, opt for shades of brick, deep rose or plum.

2. Start by applying your foundation and powder as usual. This will create a smooth base for your rouge.

3. Using a blush brush, swirl it into the rouge and tap off any excess. You can also use your fingers, but a brush gives a more even and natural-looking finish.

4. Smile to find the apples of your cheeks. This is where you should apply the rouge.

5. Starting at the apples of your cheeks, apply the rouge in circular motions, blending it outward towards your temples. Make sure to blend well, so that there are no harsh lines.

6. If you feel like you've applied too much, you can use a clean brush or your fingers to blend and soften the look.

7. Finish off by applying a light dusting of translucent powder over the top to set the rouge in place.

Remember, less is more when it comes to applying rouge. It's always better to start with a small amount and build up the color gradually, rather than applying too much and having to remove it.
