I thought that I would give you some tips about how you can create different kinds of blush.
If you are looking for a fresh and young look, you can use a pink color. While you are looking in the mirror, give yourself a smile, and your cheeks will have the form of small round apples, let’s call it the “applecheek”. With your brush, you put the blush in the middle of the applecheek, by using your brush in circles. You should be careful though, because if you use too much blush, if the color you use is too strong or if the spot of blush is too round, then you will basically look more like a clown – so try to make a smooth transition. This blush is a blush that you can, e.g. use in day time. Specifically because of it’s fresh look.
There is also an alternative for the summer period. You can put a little bit of gold or golden tinsel, and lay it on the upper part of the cheekbone. You can find your cheekbone by sucking in your cheeks and sharpening your lips. Feel your face with your hands, and locate the bones. When you have found your cheekbones you put the blush on the upper part of them, lining the cheekbones. If you are putting the gold on, be careful not to put it too low, because then your are getting a whole other look.
The look you give yourself by laying the blush too low, is the kind of look you have in the evening. If you e.g. are going to a dinner party, you should use a dark brown color to highlight your cheekbones because that makes your face look beautiful in a fine dress. You find your cheekbones with the same technique as before, and with your brush, you put the dark blush at the edge of the cheekbone. You put it all the way from your hairline to the middle of your cheek, just below the middle of your eye. But be careful that you’re not making the line too thick or too thin, that you’re not using to much color and that you are not laying it to low because that will weigh down your face.
These are some examples for blush. Depending of what kind of shape your face has, you can use the blush to counteract or tone down the shape of your head, if you have a very round or very long shaped head, the blush can make your face seem more balanced, but I will tell you about that some other time.
