Apply Blush Perfectly To Your Face With These Simple Tricks – Part 2

Here Is The Continuation

We take the rest of the list to you with the assurance of a better makeup look for your face no matter which shape it is.  

Oblong Faces: 

You have an oblong face shape in case your forehead, cheeks, and jawline are all about the same width. For this shape hit the apple of the cheek with a blush starting at the most prominent part of the cheek blending the colour evenly towards the nose and thereby bringing it out towards the temple. On the forehead and the sides of the brows to bring the look together, add a touch of blush. 

Square Face: 

When your face has straight sides and a fairly flat jawline, then you have a square face, and as Glen says with the square face you would want to hit all of the cheekbones from the corner of the brow to the hairline with long, light motions, sweep blush across the cheekbone starting low and moving upwards. Hereby pull blush from the eyebrow down to the nose very softly and blended. 

Round face: 

You have a round face in case your cheeks are the fullest part of the face and you have the curved jawline. Here to get the best blush, look in the mirror, smile, and then swipe blush on the apples of the cheeks. it is better to use a foundation brush and medium-size strokes brushing the colour up towards the temple and down towards the earlobe to blend. 

Oval Faces:

In this case, the face is long with somewhat prominent cheeks, a narrower chin as also a narrow forehead, as here Glen comments starting at the most prominent part of the cheekbone and by using soft strokes, bring the blush down towards the earlobe and blend up towards the temple. For balance add the slightest bit just above the temple. 

6. For Better Results, Blend, Blend, And Blend

It is not enough to apply blush in the right areas as you need to make sure it is blended well too using a damp sponge or a stiff brush blend your blush in the face. Keep it in mind that your blush should mimic a natural flush rather than a clown makeup as it is the colour you wanted to blend with no harsh lines while also giving noticeable glowy colour. 

7. Why Mute Too-Bright Blush With Sheer Foundation?

In the event of accidentally piling on the blush just don’t grab the makeup remover, but tone down a bold blush just by dabbing a bit of sheer liquid foundation over it by using a wet makeup sponge to evenly distribute. This helps to dial down the colour but still leaves a rosy glow. 

8. Here Is How To Learn To Use Blush In Every Step Of Your Routine

It is observed that one of the best things about blush is that you can still use it on any facial feature blending cream blush onto the cheeks, sweeping the blush from the cheekbones up the hairline using a loose synthetic brush as also use what is leftover on the finger to dab it on the eyelid blending upwards toward the brow. You don’t want to wind up looking sick and so avoid putting any colour next to your lash line.

As Glen explains, in case you are going for a red or pink blush on the eyes, then it has to be either further away from the lashes or have a black eyeliner separating it from them. After that finish off by taking more blush on the finger and pressing it to the center of the lips thereby blending out. With this add a swipe of the favourite lip balm and you are ready. 

9. Help Set Your Blush With A Tissue

To set your makeup a translucent powder can be a great product whereas Glen warns that this can also give the skin a dull look especially in case the skin trends dry. Thereafter you better blot your blush by holding the tissue to the cheek and then lightly pressing with a makeup sponge. As it absorbs any extra product, it helps to keep the glow from dulling. 

10. How To Know When To Skip Shimmer Formulas

Making smooth skin look luminous and glowy is the shimmery blush while Glen warns against it being used on rough, dry, or uneven skin textures as the shimmer magnifies pimples, bumps, and large pores. Stick with matte or cream finishes if the skin is textured or are dealing with winter dryness. 

11. Important: Don't Forget Blush When Contouring

While it is known to many that contouring comes to be a great way to carve cheekbones and jawlines using just makeup, if you are not adding blush to the finished product, then you are missing an important step as the Contour queen Kylie Jenner now swears by adding extra blush which is at the end of her makeup routine. 

As she further explains blush makes her feel as the whole look is complete and she applies the finishing touches by using to add warmth to the cheeks and cheekbones after applying the contour just before you finish with highlighter making the finished product look warmer and more natural. 

12. What Are The Layer Blush Formulas For Long-Lasting Results?

When you are gearing up for the long day or a special occasion where it is not possible to touch up the makeup, then try layering a powder blush over a cream or gel formula for the beautiful customised look that won’t quit. Just remember that you may want to apply double the formula and not double the colour. It is better to use each product sparingly to avoid going overboard as you don’t want to show up looking like a beauty contestant. 

13. Here You Can Dot On A Little Lipstick As A Makeshift Cheek Color

When you end up in a pinch without any blush on hand then add a little colour to the cheeks with a bit of lipstick making sure to blend quickly and if, in the case of a highly pigmented lipstick, it could, therefore, set fast and look more blotchy. 

14. Lastly, Finish Your Look With A Setting Spray

This tip comes to be that drying out the skin can be avoided or adding another layer of colour, seal in your look by spritzing a setting spray all over the face after you finish applying makeup. Mist it onto the face in both X-and T- motions to cover all the sides of the face locking the makeup into place all day long. 

Concluding Thoughts

These tips assure you the makeup for the most ravishing look. Be it a party or for daily office, the looks are sure to make heads turn and get you the right look for the day.
