With many unique makeup hacks, beauty influencers are taking social media by storm and they often posts videos or blogs on how to use a single makeup product as a multipurpose one.

One of the common makeup trends that ladies are loving and following is the usage of lipstick as a blush.

However, the trend of using lipstick as a blush should be completely avoided as it is not good for the skin at all.

According to dermatologist Dr Aanchal Panth, dark coloured lipstick or liquid matte lipsticks should not be used as a blush because it contains darker pigment suitable only for lips.

Panth recommends the usage of a powder blush, a light coloured cream blush or a light coloured cheek tint for the cheeks.
