Brilio.net - Blush on should give a natural blushing effect, but unfortunately it doesn't always go smoothly when applied. One common problem that often occurs is blush on that blocks or the color sticks too thickly in one spot and is difficult to blend. The result is not healthy blushing cheeks, but rather patches of color that make makeup look uneven and difficult to fix.
Some people try to overcome this by using concealer to cover the blush area that is too thick, then repeating the blending process from the beginning. Although this method can help in the early stages of makeup, unfortunately it is less effective if the blush has already blended with other complexions, especially if the face has been set with powder. The texture of the product that is piled up can actually make the makeup look patchy or cakey.
To overcome this, you can use a trick from Instagram user @regina_nugroho. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted that she only relies on other products to overcome blush on that is blocked and difficult to blend.
As reported by briliobeauty.net from Instagram @regina_nugroho on Wednesday (11/6), the product in question is compact powder or powder foundation.
How to overcome blocked blush on to make it more flawless.

The first thing to do is to take a powder foundation that matches your skin tone. Choose one with a light texture so that it doesn't pile up too much on your face. Then, use a clean and fluffy blush brush, not a sponge or a dense brush. This is important so that the blending results remain smooth and don't add too many layers of product.

Apply powder foundation thinly on the edges of the blush that look blocked. Focus the brush strokes on the edges first to disguise the sharp lines between the blush and the skin.
Move the brush in small, gentle circular motions, without pressing too hard. This technique will help blend the blush color with your skin tone more naturally, while reducing the intensity of the color that is too piled up.

Once the edges of the blush start to blend and look smoother, you can slowly sweep it towards the center if needed. But remember, don't be too thick because the main goal is to create a soft transition from blush color to skin. This trick is especially effective if you've used powder beforehand, because powder foundation can blend more smoothly with the existing makeup layer without making the final result patchy or heavy.
