How to Apply Blush




 There are several different ways of applying blush to your face. For the young crowd, teens and 20's, applying using the technique of smiling first and then applying the blush with the cheek bones high from the smile is great. Remember, after smiling the cheekbones drop and for the older ladies, gravity is working against  exactly what is trying to be accomplished which is up lifting! So let's create the perfect look that helps defy gravity....

In this case we want to raise the cheekbone:
1. First feel where your check bone is (no smiling) and blend higher to the eye back towards the ear.

Smiling creates wrinkles which will NOT give you a smooth finished look...Play with it and see what works best for you. 

If you want to add contouring to your face, read my article on How to Contour.
