There's no detail work to master, no lines to stay inside of, and it looks great on everyone. But we also think that there's a little more to applying blush than just dusting it on. Carefully placed blush can manipulate the appearance of your face shape in sneaky ways, and without much effort
Right ways to Blush
Lower Blush
If your face features a long or prominent chin, you can even things out by placing your blush just below the apples of your cheeks– over the bone. This creates the subtle illusion that the apples of your cheeks rest a bit lower, and will elongate the upper part of the face to keep you looking balanced.
Upper Blush
Popular in Japan, blushing underneath the eyes can create an either sickly, or youthful appearance that might be seen as an extreme for some. However, applying your blush up high can make a short face appear extra-long. For those with small or round faces, it's worth a try– keeping the blush just above the apples is a happy medium to blending it into your eye makeup.
Outer Blush
Contour blush can draw focus to the center of the face plus if your face is on the wider side. Do too much and you'll look like a Ziggy Stardust revivalist, but do a little and you'll find it to be a subtle way to add structure without joining the contour club.
Full cheeks
It's not for everybody, but BIG BLUSH can work magic on those with large or long faces. Coloring outside the typical blush lines can shorten the face significantly and even shape it, depending on whether you apply rounded pats or sweeping strokes. Try it with a subtle shade and skip the heavy eye and lip looks. That will keep your cheeks the major statement.
