Blush gives your face a healthy glow with a rosy effect. Never apply blush closer to the nose area. Choose blusher colors that match your eye shadow and lip color or that have a slight reddish pinky color to them. Fair skin looks great in rose, olive in peach & dark skin in apricot or even red.

Matching your blush application to your face shape ensures a perfect blush application every time. Let’s get to know the blush application tips for different kinds of faces.

Round Face: Apply blush to the area above the apples of your cheeks and blend slightly forward to thin the round face. Avoid getting the blush too close to your nose; this highlights the roundness of your cheeks.

Oval Face: The perfect shaped face needs little help from blush. For a natural look, apply blush onto the apples of your cheeks for a flushed, healthy glow.

Square Face: Soften the angles of your cheeks by applying the brighter color blush on the apples of the cheeks, and then sweep the blush towards your temples. This causes the eye to look up, taking away from the sharp angles of a square face shape.

Long Face: To create the illusion of width on a long face, apply blush to the apples of the cheeks and extend the blush outward towards your ears. Next, sweep your blush across the middle of your forehead and along your chin line.
