Sculpt Cheekbones The Easy Way
If you know these makeup artist blush tips then you can create the illusion of natural high cheekbones, even if you weren’t born with them. Some women need a little help accentuating their cheek area. Blush colors when applied correctly can make your face appear thinner and give you a healthy look, too.
Your Natural Blush Color
Choose a color that is apricot for your everyday blush color.
Apricot is a combination of both peach and pink and not only does it go with any lip color, but it is also the most natural color.
Good alternatives include beige peach, brown pink, and sandy colors.
Determine which one you choose by the way you blush naturally after exercising.
Deeper blush colors can be used for evening.

How To Apply Blush – Perfect Placement
Learning how to apply blush is actually very easy. If you are wearing it for the first time then choose a powder blush. Take a fluffy blush brush and dab it across the product. Then tap the brush lightly on a paper towel to remove the excess. Never blow on your makeup brushes.
2. Take one finger and touch just beneath your eye area on your cheekbone. Your finger should be directly under your pupil and next to your nose.
3. Your blush should be applied on the OTHER side of your finger going towards your ear.
4. You should only make ONE swipe of the brush. TWO swipes for evening makeup looks.
Blush tips for sculpting:
If you want to sculpt your cheekbones then first use a light tan shade under your cheekbones and place the swash of color on top. The two should slightly overlap.
