How To Use Rouge

Rouge is applied after the use of foundation cream. Unfortunately, rouge is the most ill-used cosmetic. Many women lack the art of applying rouge effectively; they either apply in excess or too less. An excessive coating dampens natural beauty. Choice of wrong shades or mistake in using it properly makes a woman look ugly. It is wrong to put it on the whole face including the temples and round the eyes. In that case it would be better not to use it at all.

Actually, rouge brings glow to lustreless cheeks and makes them attractive and natural. So, rouge should be so used as to heighten the natural lustre and not to display it by exaggerated use.

The purpose of applying rouge is to heighten the flush (red or pink glow) of the skin. It is, therefore, necessary that it is applied only on those parts of the face which are naturally flushed.

For example, on the cheekbones, just below the eyes, and towards the end of eyes. Spread it with finger after applying it with brush. Do not put it near the nose which, otherwise would appear short and broad, nor near the eyes. If it is spread below the cheeks, it gives an oldish look. Yes, you can put it on your chin. It, then, gives an oval shape to the face.
