Sculpt Your Cheeks with Blush
July 15, 2024
Want to snatch your face? Listen closely. Contouring is a makeup technique individuals use to create shadows and definition in the face. Typically, people reach for dark creams or powders to contour their face. However, there is a more natural and subtle way to sculpt your cheeks using blush. No, silly, we don't mean applying colorful lines into the hollows of your cheeks. By strategically applying blush to the apples of your cheeks and blending upwards towards your temples, you can achieve a lifted and sculpted look without the need for harsh lines.
Choosing a Blush Color:
Begin by choosing a blush color, and yes, we're leaving that broad because any color works. We won't leave you with that though. Here are some tips on what the different effects of each color blush are:
Sculpted look
To achieve a more defined, chiseled effect, you will want to choose a cool-toned blush. This is a blush that has a blue, pink or reddish undertone.
Sun-kissed look
To have it look like the sun just hit your face, reach for a warm-toned blush. This is a blush that has a coral, bronze or even gold-ish hue.
Which Formula of Blush to Choose:
While you can use a cream or powder blush for this technique, we recommend you use a cream blush like our Plump Shot™ Collagen Peptides Advanced Plumping Blush. Cream blushes, especially this one, are blendable and tend to be easier to control.
How to Sculpt Your Cheeks with Blush:
Apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks in a circular motion with a fluffy brush. Then, blend the blush upwards towards your temples, following the natural curve of your cheekbones. This technique will help lift your face and create a more snatched appearance.
It even works on the nose!
Makeup artists, as well as makeup beginners, tend to use dark lines to contour their nose as well. But guess what... the blush technique works here as well. You can also use blush to enhance the shape of your nose by simply sweeping a small amount of blush across the bridge of your nose.
By using blush to sculpt your cheeks and nose, you can achieve amore defined face shape without the need for dark or harsh lines. Experiment with different blush shades and application techniques to find the perfect look for your face shape. Say goodbye to harsh lines and hello to a more radiant, sculpted appearance!
