How to use lipstick as blush



Hello, dear beauty experts! Today we are going to talk about a very interesting topic: How to use lipstick as blush? Yes, you heard it right, it’s that magical item that we put on our lips every day – lipstick. So, can it become our blush? The answer is yes! Let me reveal this magical makeup technique to you now!

First, we need to understand the essential difference between lipstick and blush. The main function of lipstick is to color the lips to increase the fullness and three-dimensionality of the lips; while blush is to color the cheeks to make the face look more lively and energetic. Although their functions are different, their main ingredients are pigments, oils and waxes, so to some extent, lipstick can replace blush.

So, how do you turn lipstick into blush? Here is a simple method for you:

1. Choose the right lipstick: First, we need to choose a lipstick with moderate color and moist texture. A lipstick that is too dark or too light is not suitable as a blush, and a lipstick that is too dry will make the skin appear dry. It is recommended to choose nude or pink lipstick, which will make it easier to create a natural blush effect.

2. Prepare tools: We need a clean brush or sponge egg. The brush can help the blush to be applied more evenly on the face, while the sponge can make the blush more docile.

3. Make blush: Squeeze an appropriate amount of lipstick from the tube, and then gently apply it on the back of your hand with your fingers or a brush to make the lipstick appear natural powdery. Be careful not to apply too much or it will look heavy.

4. Apply blush: Use a brush or sponge to take an appropriate amount of lipstick powder, and then gently sweep it from the center of the cheek to both sides. Be gentle and avoid color patches. You can try the color on the back of your hand first to make sure the color suits you.

5. Setting the makeup: In order to make the blush last longer, after applying the blush, we can gently press it on the face with loose powder to help the blush fix on the skin better.


Through the above five steps, we can easily turn lipstick into blush. However, I still want to remind everyone that although lipstick can be used as a temporary blush, it is not a cosmetic specially designed for cheeks after all, and long-term use may cause a certain burden on the skin. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone try to use specialized blush products in daily life to ensure natural and healthy makeup.
