Next, create the appearance of lifted cheekbones by gently sweeping some bronzer in the hollows of your cheeks. Use your makeup brush to blend the tones for a smooth color gradient that naturally accentuates your cheekbones. Thank you [email] for signing up.

Makeup Face. By Mandy Zee Mandy Zee. Mandy Zee is a former contributor for Byrdie. Byrdie's Editorial Guidelines. Blush is a quiet, unassuming miracle worker when it comes to cosmetics.
That's because blush has the ability and the power to brighten up your entire face and highlight your visage with just a few strategically placed swipes. While bronzer has become increasingly popular in recent years, as women seek that perfectly sun-kissed yet safe and actually sun-free glow, blush is actually a much more wearable and universal facial product.
It's nearly impossible to mess up. It can be a gorgeous finishing touch to a full face of makeup, or it can be the only thing you wear on those lazy days. Here are five critical reasons you should be wearing blush as part of your daily makeup regimen. Contouring or "nontouring" are Kim Kardashian-approved trends. Contouring is where shadows and light are used to call attention to specific features, while nontouring is where heavy foundation and highlighters instead give way to natural skin.
Those techniques are very right here, right now. But blush is an enduring classic — like Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn. Blush will add a pop of color to the middle of your face and is a fresh, youthful, instant brightener. Picking the right blush is about more than just the shade — you need to find the perfect formula, too. There are three types of blushes: powders, creams, and stains. If you have oily skin , a cheek stain works well. Stains look dewy and last for ages, even if you tend to sweat or have oil-prone skin.
Apply a little at a time — once it sets into your skin, it's hard to blend out hence the name! If you have normal or combination skin , creamy formulas are great and have high staying power. Cream blush is easy to use for most skin types, comes in tons of colors, and gives skin a fresh, youthful look. If you have dry skin, stick with a powder formula. Powder blush is great for gliding over pores for a blurring effect and despite popular belief, stains and creams aren't so great for dry skin: They can crack when they dry, which exacerbates the look of dryness.
It's true that your makeup will only look as good as the tools you apply it with, and "if you're going to spend money on any tools, spend it on a blush brush! Swirl the brush in product and be sure to tap off any excess before applying to your face so you don't wind up with a big dab of color on your cheek. Blush is meant to strategically accent your face, which means you need to take your bone structure into account before applying it in the first place.
Heart-shaped faces: If your face is long with prominent cheekbones and a narrow chin, you likely have a heart-shaped face. Apply blush in a "C" shape from the top of the temple down to the cheekbone. Use more product along the cheekbone, then diffuse it up towards the temple, pushing it in and upwards.
Don't go overboard with your application: "You want a blended look since it's on more than just the cheeks," Glen warns. Oblong faces : If your forehead, cheeks, and jawline are all about the same width, you have an oblong face shape. Hit the apple of the cheek with blush starting at the most prominent part of the cheek, blending color towards the nose and bringing it out towards the temple.
Add a touch of blush on the forehead and the sides of the brows to bring the look together. Square face: If your facer has straight sides and a fairly flat jawline think Olivia Wilde or Angelina Jolie , you have a square face. With long, light motions, sweep blush across the cheekbone, starting low and moving upwards. Pull blush from the eyebrow down to the nose, very softly and blended. Round face: If your cheeks are the fullest part your face and and you have a curved jawline, you have a round face.
For the best blush, look in the mirror, smile, then swipe blush on the apples of your cheeks. Using a foundation brush and medium-size strokes, brush color up towards the temple and down towards the earlobe to blend. Oval faces: If your face is long with somewhat prominent cheeks, a narrower chin, and a narrow forehead, your face is oval. According to the pros, this technique works best when applied on top of bronzer; the bronzer acts as a base layer that helps to diffuse the blush's pigment so it doesn't look too harsh against the skin.
Another great tip is to add a touch of color to your eyelids, forehead, and chin. Ingeborg says that this helps to give the finished look a truly realistic, spent-the-day-in-the-sun effect, as these are the points of your face that the rays would naturally hit first. Carillo loves this glowy look with a dewy foundation and some faux freckles courtesy of the TikTok-famous Freck Beauty's Freckle Pen.
He employs two shades of blush a bright color and a softer hue in the same color family with this method to create the desired dimension. With a stippling brush, he adds the darker color to the high points of the cheeks and bridge of the nose, and then the softer shade on the apples, chin, and nose.
Sure, no one enjoys being blasted in the face by wind or getting burnt on the slopes; that's how you end up with a raw, apple-red complexion that requires extra TLC for days.
But faking it with blush? Now that can be extremely cute. Ferreri favors using a gel or cream blush formula for this method, and she prefers either pink or rosy tones for the most natural finish. She adds that you can also take any leftover color from your fingers or brush and apply the softest touch on top of your nose, just under the bridge. This allows it to look more realistic, which is ultimately what you're going for with blush.
