The Blush Trick You Need to Try ASAPNot all faces are the same. These blush techniques will give you the perfectly sculpted shape |
Best Blush for Square Faces The polar opposite of a round face, square faces are made up of lots of angles (think Angelina Jolie). But if you're not careful, those angles can end up looking too sharp or harsh.
To smooth out an angled face, Bhatty suggests envisioning your natural flush in an embarrassing or heated moment. "Create a soft blushing effect by starting at the apples of your cheeks and depositing the color at that focal point. Then blend and diffuse the color out toward your temples." Consider the ends of your eyebrows your stopping point. If you get too blush-happy and push the color all the way into your hairline, you'll further emphasize the square shape of your face.
For natural diffused color, Bhatty uses a cream blush first, like Nars Matte Multiple applied with a wet BeautyBlender, then applies a sheer powder blush in a corresponding color. "You want blush to appear smooth and sheer, not like an overwhelming punch of color." Bhatty's powder blush picks include Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush and Nars Blush.
