In principle, applying blush appears to be a rather basic process: First, you swirl your brush in the blusher, and then you dust it over your face shapes, right? Even while this may appear to be the most fundamental method for applying blush, applying it in such a way that it emphasises the bone structure of your face may actually make your face shapes look extremely attractive.
Because there are so many different methods, tips, and tricks to select from, it is possible that you will have a hard time determining which of these is the finest way to apply blush to your face shapes.
We are getting rid of all the clutter and making things easier to understand. It doesn’t matter if you have a round, square, oval, or heart-shaped face; we’re going to tell you where on your face to apply blush no matter what shape your face is.
Identify Your Face Shapes
Firstly identify your face shapes to apply blush on.
Oval
Oval faces have a length that is greater than their width, and both dimensions are proportionate when viewed in a vertical plane.
A person’s jawline and chin are often round when they have an oval facial shape. The majority of persons who have an oval face also have a broad forehead.
Round
The short length of a round face, its soft features, and its wide hairline are the distinguishing characteristics of this facial shape. The cheekbones are the widest part of a round face, while the forehead and jawline are about the same width. This gives the face shapes a full appearance.
Square
A wide hairline and a prominent jawline are the defining characteristics of a square face. This type of facial shape is characterised by widths that are proportional to one another in the cheekbones, jawline, and forehead, and its length is proportional to its breadth.
How to Apply Blush When You Have an Oval Face
You’re in luck if the face shapes of your face is oval. With one notable exception, you can apply blush pretty much anywhere on your face you like.
However, you should avoid applying blush just under your cheekbones because it is the area where you should be applying contour.
Blush Application Techniques for Round Faces
When you have a round face shapes, applying blush can be difficult because you want the blush to double as a contour and accentuate your cheekbones at the same time. Your round face will have the appearance of being more extended and defined as a result of this.
To accomplish this look, begin by applying blush to your cheeks a small distance below the apples of your cheeks, and then work your way up toward the top of your hairline. After you have applied the blush, blend it upwards and outwards for a natural look. This will give your makeup a more polished appearance. This will create the appearance of greater elevation and angulation to your face.
Blush Application Techniques for a Square Face
Blush can be applied more liberally to a longer face because there is greater surface area. Place a small amount of blush in the hollows of your eyes and mix it up to your cheekbones.
You can create the appearance of having a wider face by applying horizontal strokes of blush to your face shapes in such a way that they counteract the natural length of your face.
