How to Apply Blush Correctly and Professionally for Oval and Round Faces

Blush Application GuideProfessional

Blush application is a key step in makeup that requires specific skills. Blush completes your makeup and enhances the beauty of your cheeks. To apply blush like a professional makeup artist and achieve prominent cheeks, you need to apply it according to your face shape, which can also correct any facial shape imperfections.

It’s important to note that powder blushes are specifically for oily skin, while cream blushes are better suited for dry skin.

Applying Blush for Round Faces

For round faces, use darker blush colors and apply them in a stretched shape. Darken the area around the temples and jawline, and lighten the middle of the nose, chin, and forehead. Apply blush beneath the cheekbone.

Applying Blush for Long Faces

For long faces, use makeup techniques to create a slightly wider and shorter appearance. Applying dark blush on the chin can help shorten and round out your face. Darken around the temples and jawline, lighten the chin and upper cheekbone, and apply blush on the cheekbones.

Tips for Proper Blush Application

• Blush should be the last step in your makeup routine.
• After applying blush, use a setting powder.
• Smile while applying blush to highlight your cheeks.
• Ensure the blush and lip color are coordinated.
• Do not overload the blush brush; a thin layer is sufficient.

By following these tips, you can apply blush like professional makeup artists and complete your makeup look. Pay close attention while applying blush because if not done correctly, it can make your face appear dull.
