Applying Blush According to Your Face Shape

January 7, 2009   in Cheek, How To/Tips

In the January 2009 issue of Glamour, they had a very interesting article about blush, (‘New Tips for Doing it Right’, page 122). What interested me was that there are ways to apply your blush according to your face shape – who knew?! Here’s a scan of their tips. Sorry it’s a little blurry!

What do you think? Do you apply blush in a particular way? If you’re just starting out, you might want to read my post, Make Up 101 – How to Apply Blush.

Great Tips!

I always concentrate my color more on the temples and apply according to my cheek shape. not so much on the apples.

Glad to help! I don’t even know what I do – but I think I apply blush like what they said for the Round face shape, even though I have a long face! Guess I should change :-P

These are great tips! Thanks for the scans. I have a square face and I believe their tip is right. My jaws a little angular and I have very strong features so I use feminine, pink blush. No contouring or bronzer for me! Only pinky blushes :)

This is great. I love Glamour magazine and saw this since I’m an avid reader. I like peach colors, gives a very feminine, soft look to you.

My tips are if you have a strong face, use pinks, if you have a very round soft baby face, anything but pink will look good, like peaches, bronzers, browns and mauves.
