Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

How to make blush look natural:

  • Pinch your cheeks a bit and observe what color they turn. That's the color of blush that will look most natural on you.
  • Start with powder blush. Other formulations like creme or liquid take a little more practice but powder has an easy learning curve.
  • Use a smallish to medium fluffy brush - something like the BK Beauty 112 is nice because the brush is small enough that you can be more precise with color placement.
  • Depending on your face shape, decide where you want to place your blush. Commonly blush goes on the apples of your cheeks and/or along the upper part of the cheekbone. Here's a little guide that might be helpful.
  • If you're doing base makeup, make sure you do that before your blush. Typically the order I do face products is foundation, then bronzer, then undereye concealer, then setting powder, then blush, then highlighter.
  • To apply powder blush, lightly drag your brush across the powder, then tap off the excess. Using light upward/outward motions, sweep the blush across your cheekbones. Do one side lightly, then the other. Compare to be sure they're even in coverage and shape. Build up as desired from there, but remember starting out that less is more, especially if you want it to look natural.
  • If you add to much powder blush, you can gently wipe some off with a tissue.
  • A downside of powder blush is that it can wear off kind of quickly, especially if you're a more oily lady. To help your makeup last longer, consider using a setting spray.

Good luck!
