Tint blush

When you are planning to use the tint blush you should apply it fast and well. Tint blush can look streaky over base. But once it is set it would not budge until you wash your face. Just like the gel blushes, tint blushes are also very quick in drying.

Gel or fluid blush

The Gel blush adds a sheer glow on your face. The gel blush is usually advised to work best on oily to usual skin because these blushers last longer and many are oil-free. Some are water-resistant, too. The gel blush is of fast-drying nature and thus it is hard to disperse onto dry skin. The gel blush should be applied over foundation or on the bare skin. It will give a supple, fresh-scrubbed look to your face.

Shimmers

The shimmers are advised just for adding a light glow to your face. They are the best alternative for the evening time. You can dab the shimmers on your forehead, in the bow of your eye lid or in the inward corner of your eyes.

Cheek pencils

The cheek pencils are advised best for the beginners. But those who have oily skin should not use cheek pencils as they are often formulated with extra moisturizers and emollients to keep them supple and blendable.
