Blush Tips

How and where you apply your Blush is determined by the shape of your face.

A ROUND FACE is almost as wide as it its long, with the greatest width at the cheek. To slenderize, apply your blush in a sideways V on your cheekbones and blend up. To add an illusion of length apply a bit of blush to your chin and blend well.

A SQUARE FACE has a squared forehead about the same width as the cheekbones and jawline. The squared jaw is the prominent feature. Beginning at the center of the eyes applies your blush on the cheekbones. Blend toward your temples and apply a dab to your forehead and chin to soften the square angle of the face.

A RECTANGULAR FACE is an elongated square shape. The forehead is about the same width as the cheekbones and jaw line. Apply blush on cheekbones below the outer corners of the eyes and blend well. Be sure the blush never extends lower than the tip of the nose.

AN OVAL FACE is said to be the ideal face. The forehead is wider than the chin. The cheekbones are dominant with the face tapering from the cheeks to a narrow oval chin. Use your fingertips to locate the most prominent part of your cheekbone to apply blush and blend towards your temples to highlight your cheekbones.

A TRIANGULAR FACE has a wide forehead and high cheekbones. The triangular face tapers to a narrow chin. Blush should be applied in a sideways V on the cheekbones. Blend up from your cheekbones to your temple and then extend the blush over your brow a bit toward the center of your forehead. This will help to balance the width of your forehead with the rest of your face.
