We need a bright name for roll-on blush. Blush in balls - we give preference to modern cosmetics

Many girls, when doing makeup, apply blush to the skin of the face, which gives the effect of freshness, emphasizes the relief and allows you to hide minor imperfections. Blush is divided into several types according to release form: regular dry, in balls, creamy, gel. Recently, blush balls have gained popularity. We will talk about them further.

Features of roll-on blush

What distinguishes them from ordinary ones is that the blush balls have different colors, thanks to which the blush on the cheeks looks natural. This type of cosmetics blends well and lies evenly on the cheeks. Using blush is quite convenient; just swipe the brush over the balls and then apply it to the skin. They are especially suitable for those with oily and combination skin. The advantage of blush is that it is economical, because during application of makeup it does not accumulate on the brush.

How to choose blush

In order not to spoil the overall look of the makeup, blush should be applied at the very end, but, as you know, the colors of the balls come in different colors. So find out which type is right for you. When you buy blush, there are several colors in the box. However, there are always more balls of the same tone, so use them as a guide. Now we’ll find out from makeup experts which cosmetics to choose for your skin color type:

  1. If you are brown-haired and have a cool (pale) complexion, then pink, pink-brown or beige-pink shades will suit you.
  2. Peach and apricot-colored blush suits fair girls with spring (warm) skin types. Blondes with pale skin are better off using blush in pink shades.
  3. For autumn skin color and red hair, choose blush in brick, terracotta, or peach shades.
  4. Bronze, peach, beige-brown blushes look good on the dark cheeks of girls with black hair. And pink-beige ones can be used by pale-faced brunettes. The main thing is not to choose very bright blush, otherwise the look will be slightly vulgar.

Application order

To apply blush on your skin, prepare a set of makeup brushes. Use the largest brush to blend the blush first. To make reliefs, an angled brush is suitable. Small brushes are good for touching up finished makeup. With the precision of an artist, blend the blush on your cheeks if they already have a layer of foundation applied to them. Otherwise, you can ruin everything and have to paint it all over again. When you dip a large brush into the blush, make several stitches with it so that only the soft edges of the brush slide over the multi-colored balls. Apply stripes on your face in the same way, only with the edges of the brush, do not apply too much blush - it will look unnatural.

Application secrets

When applying blush in balls, use these tips:

  1. If you want to achieve a natural effect, apply the blush evenly. The place where the blush is applied should correspond to the place where the actual blush is.
  2. Do not shade the blush under your cheekbones - this makes any woman look older.
  3. To make your face look elongated, start applying color a little lower from the hairline.
  4. If your face is thin, use a brush to apply horizontal lines under the cheekbones and a little bronze on the chin.

Makeup artists say that blush balls are great for obtaining a natural combination of colors. And now you yourself know how to accurately apply makeup using various types of brushes using this cosmetics after reading the above instructions.

Blush in balls has become a popular alternative to the previously used traditional dry, gel and cream. Today they can be easily found in cosmetic stores, and their increasing popularity is due to several advantages.


Peculiarities

This type of cosmetics is capable of softening facial features as harmoniously as possible, giving more tenderness, while maintaining the most natural skin color. Unlike the usual cream and gel products, which sometimes create unnatural tones when mixed, blush balls form a neat and healthy blush, a multifaceted shade. It is practically indistinguishable from natural. For this reason, they received a lot of positive reviews from women, although they began to be produced only recently.



Another advantage is the following. Traditional cream blushes in jars usually require a lot of mixing to create the desired shade. At the same time, a lot of excess cosmetics remain on the brush, which increases consumption. Roll-on blush requires minimal consumption, does not leave dust, and is therefore very economical. How to use them correctly will be described below.



Roll-on blush is sold in small hard boxes; one can contain several dozen balls. There can be several or one color in one set, then to create multifaceted shades you need to purchase several different sets. Boxes can be round or square and contain several compartments. The kit usually includes a brush, sponge, glitter or talc - it all depends on the manufacturer, and many well-known companies produce similar cosmetics, including Avon, Max Factor, Maybelline, Oriflame, L’oreal and others.

How are they made?

Like dry and cream blush, roll-on blush is made from bronzes (particles of bronze), which give the face a healthy color and vibrant glow. The composition includes talc, sorbitol, color pigments, microparticles that provide an even shade. Some brands contain sea minerals, plant extracts and vitamins. Starch is used to glue and create a homogeneous solid mass. Then the composition, under the influence of pressing and high temperatures, is converted into solid colored balls.


Who is it suitable for?

These balls are suitable for girls with oily skin, as they can hide excess shine. They can be used if your complexion seems too pale, but roll-on blush is not recommended for dry skin. Most often, this cosmetics is applied by women who want to create a combined blush of 2 or 3 tones: lighter and darker.

As for pairing with an outfit, roll-on blush can be used on any occasion. They are suitable for an evening dress and for a work environment, since, unlike cream or dry ones, they form the most natural, not very provocative image.


How to choose?

A box with such blush contains multi-colored balls of two or more tones. If you look closely, one of the shades predominates. It will be the main one, and the rest are used as auxiliary ones - to create a combined blush. It is based on the main color that you need to choose the right product; it should be as close as possible to the natural color of the skin. But the overall palette must also be selected in order to create a harmonious, healthy shade on the face.

For girls with white skin, it is optimal to choose cool pinkish or coral shades, and for a dark or ruddy complexion - warmer, apricot or peach colors. The same is true with hair color: the darker the hair, the warmer the range of blush should be. For blondes, you need to choose the coolest tones.



The choice of manufacturers of such cosmetics is huge; it is worth considering several popular examples:

  • Oriflame- These are very budget roll-on blushes at an affordable price. However, they are very reliable and are available in a large palette of shades. The most popular is Giordani Gold.
  • Max Factor- famous blush balls, not very cheap, but the quality and renowned brand attract many, despite the high cost. Flowers Perfection Brush is popular.


  • Sets Christian Dior "Blusher Face Pearls" They have a delicate color and excellent quality.
  • Ives Roche– bronze blush with the addition of natural ingredients that apply perfectly and retain their natural color for a long time.
  • Faberlic "Illuminating Beads"– also a product from a world famous brand. In addition to the visual effect, roll-on blush from this manufacturer also contains components that absorb sebum.



  • Bourjois "Little Round" and "Pot Blush" brands not only create a harmonious combined blush on the cheekbones, but also add additional shine. They can be used for excessive dry skin or for parties.
  • Cold Rose- This is a blush at a relatively low price, but at the same time quite reliable. Contains a wide palette of basic and secondary tones for snow-white and dark skin.


Many people prefer to choose kits with a brush, since it will be specially selected for the most convenient application. Such are, for example, Guerlain blushes in a convenient box in the shape of a box. Many are unhappy that such cosmetics often do not include a mirror, a necessary attribute for makeup, which is present in most cream and gel options.

Roll-on powder is applied to a clean and dry face. Before use, you can do other types of makeup, harmoniously combining it with them. Such cosmetics allow you not only to create a rich, healthy blush, but also to correct the thickness and shape of the chin, bridge of the nose or cheekbones.


Use the thickest brush (round or angled) to apply the main tone. This is done with point movements at right angles. You should not apply blush in strokes, as an excess layer may form. Then, using a thinner brush, the main stain is corrected and an additional shade is formed.

Blush in balls can be applied on top of other cosmetics, then this is done last. If the face is powdered, then they form a secondary layer. In this case, you need to use a minimum of product and make dot strokes very carefully.


This cosmetics is applied to the cheeks in those places that become convex when smiling. It is best to stand in front of the mirror, smile and use a gentle, smooth movement of the brush to mark these areas, and then tint and shade a new layer of blush. Secondly, the product is applied to the nose area, under the eyes, on both sides of the chin. Correct use depends on the shape of the face: round, oval, triangular, rectangular, and methods of use can be seen in special visual instructions.

Removing such blush will not be any particular problem; this is done using regular makeup removers.

Almost every woman has used blush at least once when creating her makeup. Some people use them rarely, more often as an experiment, but for others, blush has become an integral attribute of a woman’s cosmetic bag. Although blush is an optional element of your makeup bag, without it your makeup will not look fresh and light. Thanks to blush, the face is enlivened and visually becomes healthier. As with other cosmetics, when applying blush, you need to know when to stop so that you don’t get a “matryoshka doll effect” on your face.

Previously, only dry blush could be found on store shelves, then gel and cream blush went on sale. The range of such blushes is very rich, represented by a large number of manufacturers, but in general it is very difficult to choose the right blush that could create a natural blush on a woman’s face. Another disadvantage of such blush is the fact that too much excess product remains on the brush, this makes the blush consumption twice as much. Manufacturers have found a solution to these problems by creating blush balls. This blush differs from previous blushes in the presence of multi-colored creamy and gel balls. Excess cosmetic product does not accumulate on the brush, so the product is used more economically. And thanks to the combination of multi-colored balls, you can easily create a natural blush on your face. Thanks to the use of roll-on blush, cosmetics on your face will not roll off. This blush will be a godsend for women with oily or combination skin.

Roll-on blush usually combines balls of two or three colors. If you look closely at them, you will notice that there are more balls of one color than other colors. This will indicate the main direction of the color, what the shade of blush will be on the face. This predominant color should match the color of the woman’s natural blush.

For women with white skin or, as they also call it, with “porcelain” skin color, you should not purchase blush where the main color is dark brown. Pale pink shades of blush are suitable for such women. And for those with dark skin, pale pink shades of blush will not suit them. For very dark skin, dark brown, bronze blush colors are suitable.

The main rule when choosing blush is to choose blush either with only cool tones or only with warm tones, and do not mix them with each other. After you have chosen the blush, you should think about choosing a brush with which you will need to apply the blush to your face. The brush for blush in balls should be hard, since the blush itself is much harder than usual. To ensure that the blush is worn evenly, you can choose a squirrel brush or a goat hair brush. An additional advantage of these brushes is their naturalness. It is best to purchase several brushes at once, different in shape, since each of them will have its own purpose. A large fluffy brush is suitable for light airy application, and a small one for correcting the oval of the face.

How to apply blush balls correctly

To properly apply blush on the face, you need to dip a large round brush at a right angle into the balls. Then, at a perpendicular angle to the face, apply to the face with pointed and gentle movements. When applying roll-on blush, it is important to remember that it is better to avoid applying the blush in strokes, since the layers will be too thick and you can overdo it with color, and as a result you will get an unnatural blush.

If powder is applied to a woman’s face, then a smaller amount of blush should be applied to the brush.

Makeup experts advise applying blush to the prominent areas of the face. In order to detect the convex parts of the face, just smile in the mirror. Using blush you can visually change the shape of your face. For example, if a woman’s nose bridge is too wide, then you can apply blush along the entire length of the nose. This technique will create an artificial shadow, and the bridge of the nose will visually become less narrow. If you apply a little brown blush under the tip of your nose, you can visually reduce the length of your nose. If a woman has a wide face type, then she needs to distribute the blush on the sides of her cheeks. For a thin face, make horizontal lines with blush under the cheekbones and be sure to shade them with a brush, and apply a little bronzer to the chin.

With the help of roll-on blush, a woman can change the shade of her blush on her face every day by moving the brush more intensely over the balls of the desired color. Roll-on blush is the best alternative to regular blush.

  • With a light movement, trace the contour of the face from the ears down to the chin; the color should be applied in the thinnest, barely noticeable layer.
  • Apply a thin line of color in the center of the nose, from the bridge of the nose to the tip, and carefully blend its borders.

To create the effect of tanned skin, terracotta-colored blush applied along the contour of the face, in the middle of the nose (from the bridge of the nose to the tip) and on the chin will help.

There is a universal rule :
The blush itself is drawn with pink and warm shades; it looks most natural on the apples of the cheeks.
Brown colors add sculptural features to facial features; the principle applies here: where there is already a shadow, you need to shade it even more.

Types of blush

Today there is a considerable selection of blush on sale, but they are still divided into two main types: dry and liquid (creamy).

Dry blush can be:

  • crumbly,
  • compact,
  • ball.

Dry blush is applied only on top of powder!

When using dry blush, you need to remember the main rule: they are applied only on top of powder! Otherwise, the dry pigment will adhere unevenly to the skin covered with cream (base) and will look unnatural and sloppy.

Each type of dry blush has advantages:

  • Loose blush They are applied in a very thin layer, look natural, and even a beginner can easily adjust the color intensity.
  • Compact blush Usually they are finer-grained, and when used correctly they also look natural, but they will definitely require a special good quality brush.
  • Roll-on blush will look great on any complexion.

How to apply blush balls correctly

Roll-on blush can be applied with a sponge or a brush; their advantage is the versatility of color. It is blush balls that are best used by those who are afraid of making a mistake in choosing a color: they look natural on any skin tone.

How to apply liquid blush correctly

Actually, liquid (water-consistency) blush is more often used by professional makeup artists, as it requires skill.

It must be remembered that liquid blush is first rubbed into the palm of your hand and then applied to the face with your fingertips. In this case, the skin should be covered only with foundation base (or BB cream), the tone is applied after blush.

How to apply cream blush

Cream and lipstick blushes are a very rewarding makeup tool. They can be used even after you have completely applied your makeup (but not powdered, remember). If, when looking in the mirror, it seems to you that your face could be brighter, take a blush with the consistency of a cream and start applying it in very small doses.

All liquid, cream and so-called lipstick blush are applied only to skin not covered with powder. Otherwise, the opposite effect will occur: the cream-based pigment will rub inaccurately onto powdered skin.

If you made a mistake (applied unevenly, overdid the color), wipe off the blush with a damp cloth and reapply the tone. Once finished, dust the cream blush with translucent powder and your makeup is ready!

How to apply roll-on blush

Photo - Blush in balls

The application method for blush in balls is no different from loose blush, despite the fact that they are more convenient to use as a face sculptor. Before using, you need to cleanse the skin, spread it with cream and then gently brush it with a brush, picking up the blush, now shake the product in the balls and run the brush over it on the other side. We move in the chosen direction, depending on the type of face and the desired effect.

Tips for use:

  1. Apply only to clean skin;
  2. You can apply it with a sponge or a brush (the second option is better);
  3. Everything is learned by comparison, you will need to search for “your” cosmetics for some time, so do not always give preference to products from a well-known company;
  4. The color type is very important, carefully study the pictures in the catalog and ask the consultant for all the details;

In order to buy high-quality and good blush in balls, as in the photo, visit a professional store in your city (In Russia or Ukraine there are simply countless of them: Ufa, Moscow, Kyiv and others).
