Blushing Your Baby

Blush your baby after the color wash is complete. For the lips, some people like to use the paint from our nail kits, but we use lip stick to stain the existing gloss on the lips.

The following instructions are for using Old Rose ink for blushing your baby. Click here for additional information if your personal preference is to use Oil-Based Stencil Cremes instead of Old Rose ink.

It is not necessary to remove the existing blush from your Berenguer Baby. You can blush right over your Berenguer Baby's existing blush since the Old Rose ink (our items #278, #279, or #345) blends well with the factory blush.

Using a cosmetic wedge (our item #271) dipped into the Old Rose ink pad, blush baby's cheeks, chin, nose, bottom of feet, palms of hands, knees, elbows, and anywhere else you would like. Wipe excess blush off and blend with a dry cosmetic wedge.

To make your baby's creases and rolls more noticeable, use a pointed cotton swab (our item #263) dipped into Old Rose ink (running the swab along the edge of the ink pad or even under a loose edge of the ink pad usually works best to get more ink onto the swab). Paint ink into all of the baby's creases and rolls.

Next, take a dry cosmetic wedge and blend in and remove excess ink. You can use a pointed cotton swab to blend in any excess ink that the wedge cannot reach.

Your baby's blushing may look just right now, but as the ink dries and soaks in, the blushing fades. You will usually want to re-blush certain areas after you have allowed the ink to set a day or two. If you accidentally over-blushed your baby the first time, you may be surprised at how well the baby looks in a few days when the ink settles in.
