Oval Face
Apply blush directly to the apples of your cheeks and blend upwards towards your temples. Alternatively, you may use a brush to lightly sweep the blush horizontally towards your ears.
Heart-Shaped Face
Applying blush will give the illusion of fuller, rounder cheeks. For this face shape, sweep the blush in a reversed fan shape, angling the tail end towards your temples.
Triangle Face
Those with triangle-shaped faces often have a pointed chin. Apply blush in an oval shape, hugging the cheekbones. This will give your face a fuller, more balanced appearance.
Round Face
Hold the brush firmly and apply blush in a triangular shape from the apples of your cheeks to your ears, continuing up towards your temples. Opt for muted colors like brown and orange, avoiding shiny, glittery shades.
Square Face
When applying blush, use soft, sweeping motions to soften the angles of your face. Start from the wings of your nose and sweep the blush diagonally upwards towards your temples. Then, blend vertically from the temples across the peak of your cheekbones.
Long Face
To create a more harmonious look, apply blush in a circular motion around your cheekbones. You can also add a touch of muted color to your forehead and chin to balance out your features. Avoid strong contouring on your cheekbones, as it can make your face appear thinner.
High Cheekbones
Sweep the blush in an elliptical shape from the cheekbones up towards the temples. Use a darker shade on the apples of your cheeks, gradually lightening the color as you move towards the temples. This will create a harmonious and balanced look. If you’re new to makeup, consider enrolling in personal makeup courses in Hanoi to refine your skills.
The best type of blush for aging, wrinkled, or textured skin is a cream or liquid formula. Powder and shimmer blushes can emphasize texture and wrinkles. Steer clear of formulas that transform from cream to powder, and opt for youthful colors like pink, peach, coral, terracotta, and soft red.
