How to Contour With Blush Using the Draping Technique

How to Contour With Blush

The secret to contouring with blush is all about product placement. Instead of working blush into the apples of your cheeks, try applying your cream, liquid or powder blush along the top of the cheekbones. Using an angled blush brush, blend upwards toward your temple to buff out the color. Start with a light application and build until you reach the intensity you want. If you want to really lift and define your cheekbones, concentrate the majority of the pigmentation towards the perimeter of your face.
