3 Ways to Contour With Blush

For a Sculpted, Angular Look...

If you have a round face and want to sculpt out your cheekbones, Williamson recommends: “add blush to the orbital bone and away from the apples to lift the face. This will make your face look more angular and less round.”

For a Less Square Appearance... 

If you have a square face, you can soften out the sharp contours by applying blush to the apples of your cheeks and blending it upwards. “Let the blush hug the contours of your face to soften the angles,” says Williamson. Try this technique with a liquid blush, like the Maybelline New York Cheek Heat Gel-Cream Blush, because it’s super blendable.
