The first thing you need to do to get your skin gel blush is to decide which blush to use. The idea of ​​a jelly blush is to look sheer, so choose a blush that looks good on your skin. Light pink or coral shades are traditionally used in the jelly blush technique. All you need is a brush.

Using the brush, apply your blush of choice in circular motions for better coverage. The key to this trend is to apply blush above the apples of the cheeks for a beautiful doll-like blush effect. Your cheeks should be rosy and plump, giving you a youthful appearance. If you want to highlight other areas of the face, you can apply a small amount of blush above the nose or under the eyes for a beautiful natural blush.

If you want to take the jelly blush trend one step further, ditch blush altogether and use lipstick instead (yes, you read that right). Makeup artist Meera Parmar told Refinery 29 that using lipstick instead of regular blush affects your cheeks, “because lipstick is often a very creamy product. It's actually more like a cream blush, so when you put it on your skin with concealer and oil, it turns into a jelly." . It will be moist and flawless, like leather."

However, do not apply lipstick directly to your cheeks. You can mix it with concealer and petroleum jelly (or heavy cream) instead of something clownish for dewy cheeks. Apply a straight line of lipstick (preferably a red or hot pink for pigment) to each cheek, then sweep concealer over each line of lipstick. Spread the jelly on top, then use your fingers or a brush to blend the mixture for a sweet and savory look.

If you don't like wearing lipstick on your cheeks, Parmer suggests using a loose eyeshadow or regular loose blush and mixing your favorite product with a balm for a dewy, jelly-like finish. No matter which technique you choose, you'll have a glowing jelly blush on your cheeks.
