Blush should be applied in a straight line from your ear towards the center of your face, following the natural line of your cheekbones.
Understanding Blush Application
Proper blush placement can enhance your facial features and add a healthy glow. The goal is to mimic the natural flush you get after exercise or being out in the cold.
Step-by-step Guide to Blush Application:
- Locate Your Cheekbones: Feel for the bony structure under your eyes. This is your cheekbone.
- Starting Point: Begin at the point closest to your ear along the cheekbone.
- Direction of Application: Sweep the blush brush in a straight line toward the center of your face. Stop before reaching your nose.
- Type of Blush: A matte blush is recommended for a sculpting effect. Avoid shimmery or pearlescent blushes if you want a more defined look.
Choosing the Right Blush
| Blush Type | Best Use |
|---|---|
