Blush

On a round face, blush is a great way to add angles. If you’re using bronzer, apply the blush AFTER your bronzer. To create an angle on your face, apply the blush at a diagonal angle. Start at your temples, and create a diagonal line going down to the hollow of your cheek as shown in the picture below.

When applying blush, use either a flat brush, or squeeze your brush in the middle between your index and middle fingers to create a more flat shape and then sweep it diagonally from your temples to the hollow of your cheeks in a back and forth motion. DO NOT apply your blush in circles as this will go against the angle you are trying to create, remember to go back and forth to create a line. If the line is too blunt and needs softening, blend it a little with your fingers

Be careful not to use a blush that is too dark for your skin tone as this will create too sharp and obvious of a line. The point is to create subtle angles on your face and not making it obvious that you are using make-up to contour your face-the whole thing should look as natural as possible.

Blush is one of the only make-up factors that I consider to be the same any brand- blush is blush. I buy mine at CVS and pretty much use whatever is on sale that has the color I want. No need to buy your blush at a department store as I recommend you do with other components such as mascara, because blush for the most part does not differ much in quality and therefore almost any brand will do.
