Blush is one of those products that has a very gentle yet serious impact on one's complexion. It can take a dull, greyish face and turn it to a bright, youthful look with a flash of that subtle colour while improving the appearance of the face and enhancing structural features. Blush should be included in every vanity box as it can provide that little extra touch of colour that makes a person look like they have a healthy glow with a slight flush on their cheeks. There are so many types of blush: pinks, reds, browns, oranges even gold, that match any skin colour without getting into the intricacies of skin undertones.
In any case, whether one wants to be casual, effortlessly beautiful or bold and dramatic in appearance, they can create their own DIY gel blushes with these simple ingredients. Here are the best homemade gel blushes that you can use to add a rosy glow to your face.
