How to Apply Blush for Your Face Shape

From freem


Blush is a great way to add some color and dimension to your face, but not all blush application techniques work for all face shapes. Here are some tips on how to apply blush according to your face shape:

1. Round face shape:

For a round face, you want to apply blush in a way that will create some definition and make your face appear more angular. Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks, but blend it back towards your hairline, and upwards towards your temples. This will create a more lifted and sculpted look.

2. Square face shape:

For a square face, you want to soften the angles of your face by applying blush in a more rounded shape. Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks, but blend it towards the center of your face. This will create a softer, more rounded look.

3. Oval face shape:

For an oval face, you can apply blush to the apples of your cheeks, but blend it upwards towards your temples. This will enhance your cheekbones and give your face a lifted appearance.

4. Heart face shape:

For a heart-shaped face, you want to balance the width of your forehead with the width of your chin, so apply blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend it towards your temples. This will help to soften your forehead and balance your features.

5. Long face shape:

For a long face, you want to create the illusion of width, so apply blush in a horizontal line across the apples of your cheeks, blending it towards your hairline. This will give the appearance of a wider face.

Remember to choose a blush shade that complements your skin tone and apply it gradually, building up the color as needed. Use a fluffy blush brush to ensure a natural-looking application, and blend well for a seamless finish.
