“On the secretly blushing cheek is reflected the glow of the heart!” - Soren Kierkegaard
Interestingly enough… celebrity make-up artists like Huda Kattan and Anastasia Soare agree with this Danish philosopher.
They are huge proponents of blushers because they believe the versatile beauty product is a lifesaver, particularly for women over 50.
The right kind of blush brings joy, vivacity, and the glow of health to the palest of faces.
Blushers are more forgiving than contour wands. If you are particularly skeptical of contouring, you can still enhance your bone structure with strategically placed dabs of blusher.
Blush placement can literally change your face. This is something we’ll reference later on in the blog. But blusher application lends a subtly lifted appeal to mature faces, and plumps out deflated cheeks.
Despite being so desirable, and useful - it is still very much possible to mess blushers up.
Pretty badly.
You can choose the wrong formula, clashing shades - and even apply blush in ways that age you.
No more.

The answer is fairly simple.
Forget the squishy wands, the viral tints -- the hundred different packaging options slapped on tired formulas to create new hype.
Go for cream blushers. Period.

Just a few benefits of a dewy, creamy, hydrating blusher:
Creams are a dose of moisture and hydration. They not only sit pretty and velvety, they protect sensitive facial skin against drying weather, pollution and toxic make-up.
Cream blushers are easy to blend. Use your fingers. Or a brush. You won’t have to keep finessing the pigment to achieve that minimalistic, no-makeup, barely there hue. Powders on the other hand are stubborn. They settle in fine lines and refuse to be tempered … Powder demands the veiling technique where extra pigment is covered and muted with (even) more face powder.
Cream blurs skin texture. Texture is more prominent - in the form of wrinkles and open pores - as the years add on. Cream blushers are a no-brainer for women over 50.
Just make sure that the cream blush you add to your make-up bag is non-oily and non-comedogenic.
You want gentle color and sheen, not breakouts!
You may prefer a heavy handed approach when it comes to blusher.
Draping your face in rosy, peachy hues is tempting.
But if you want to shave years off your graceful visage with blushers, follow these 3 techniques.
This is a clever way to enhance your cheekbone - instead of the apples of your cheeks - without using harsh contour lines.
To locate your cheekbone, just place your pointer finger on the top of your ear, and your thumb on the tip of your nose… slowly bringing the two together to meet on your cheekbone.

Everyone’s going gaga over this trick.
When you apply blush on your cheekbone, build the rosiness up to your temple. Post 50 sagging is inevitable.
Giving the color some height on the tail end of the application, instead of plateauing it out, brings lift and life to your face.

We’ve talked at length about why fingers are the niftiest of make-up tools.
Keep this rule in mind.
When you want to go for a flushed, naturally vibrant look - opt for finger-friendly blush and blend that in with your fingers.
When you want a more flawless, airbrushed finish - use a densely packed, high performance brush like PrimeWand Brush - which is vegan (doesn’t absorb product) and ultra soft for a second skin look.

Before we dive into the best blusher shades for women over 50 … there are two things you must know to find your perfect color make-up match.
1. Undertones. Your undertone defines the warmth of your skin. Mostly due to the color of your veins. If they are popping icy blue - you're cool toned. Green and olive veins? You’re warm toned.
It’s recommended that warm toned women apply warm blusher shades… and cool toned divas choose cooler blushes. But to keep it simple - you can go for neutral colors.
Neutral shades have lots of white in them. So pink + white = neutral pink.
2. Complexion. This is the spectrum of melanin in your skin. Fair, olive, and dark are the three most common complexions found around the world. You’re either one of these complexion types -- or you are somewhere in between them.
A berry blush - like our PrimeWand Pigment - may look like a lot. But it blends like a charm. And berry mimics the flush of blood to your face, when you blush for real.
No wonder it’s been a best-seller in 2023. It is made for every skin undertone and complexion type.
Turns out we are all the same color of joy!
Blusher shades by undertone ensure colors don’t clash with your overall look. And keeping your complexion in mind ensures that you aren’t overwhelmed by colors that don’t celebrate the melanin in your skin.
Blooming rose blushes are neutral (but powerful) pink. They look their best on fair and olive skinned beauties.
Something like PrimeWand Nude heals skin texture and evens out redness (thanks to the generous swirls of white in the pigment).
The fairest of fair mature women may use peach blossom blushes, without worrying about going too dark, or overwhelming their pale translucence.
With its peachy underlay, a product like PrimeWand Peony corrects that dreaded tired gray cast, giving parched skin the moist, plump look of a well cared for face.
Winter shade for almost any skin undertone and complexion, these blushers uplift olive ladies. Bronzy hints in their skin compliment the orange-pink glow of coral hues.
Even though a blusher like PrimeWand Coral is neutral in color, using one instantly transports you to the balmy days of summer.
Darker complexions go mellow honey with the years. Signs of age induced damage plague darker divas less!
What a blush like PrimeWand Chestnut then has to do is resonate with these honey tones for a cohesive look, and bring rich sheen to drier skin.
