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.

good effort for scanning it and show us :D this morning i was still thinking about how to apply blusher nicely, and this def has helped me now
prettybeautiful’s last blog post … I spoiled myself a little too much
Great Tips!
I always concentrate my color more on the temples and apply according to my cheek shape. not so much on the apples.
Connie’s last blog post … Review: Daiso Cosmetics — Everything’s RM5!
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 :)
sweetness…
there’s ways to apply blush!
thank god you brought this up………… haha
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.
Thanks everyone! Jules, I must say I’m a reader of Glamour too. I love their beauty sections. Their beauty blog, (on my links page) is great too! :)
