HOW TO
APPLY YOUR BLUSH
Here is
the correct and easy way to apply blush
First, start
with a good quality blush Brush. You can accentuate your face and cheeks
naturally. Smile and you will see the fleshy part that stands out the
most; this is the apple of your checks. This is your starting point for
applying your blush. Apply a light layer of blush to the apples of your
cheeks and blend up and back toward your hair line.
Tap off the
excess blush from your brush
before applying to your face. Do not blow on the
bristles or you will put bacteria from your mouth on to the brush. Compact
size blush brushes are too small and the bristles are not shaped properly.
Once again, use a good quality brush.
Look in the mirror and smile.
Place powder blush on the apple of your cheek
and gently brush up your
cheekbone
toward your hairline. It should go no closer
to your nose, but directly beneath the
iris of your eye; below nostril-level a and into
your temple
hairline.
How
and where you apply your Blush is determined by the shape of your face.
A ROUND
FACE 
is almost as wide as it it's 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 jaw line.
The squared jaw is the prominent feature. Beginning at the center of the
eyes apply 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.
