5 blush applications

I had chosen a red/pink blush so you can see better the final results and I used the F5 brush by Sigma, but you can use the blush brush of your choice.

1. On top of the cheek bones on the outer part.

This is my favorite application, focus the blush on the upper and outer part of the cheek bones, giving the effect of lift to the cheeks and to the face, looking a bit younger.

2. On the apples of the cheeks smiling slightly.

This application is the opposite of the previous one, we will focus the blush on the apples of the cheeks, which is the area of the cheek next to the nose, and we will apply it while smiling ever so slightly cause if we smile to much and we apply the blush there once we stop smiling the blush area will go very low and will look very awkward.

3. Across the cheek in horizontal line.

This application of the blush is going to be across the cheek in a horizontal line, blending very well, this technique will make wider a very thin long face, giving some volume.

4. En forma de arco en la mejilla y la sien. 

4. On a arch way on the cheek and temple.

This way to apply blush is so cool cause it looks like you have some Sun on your face, making an arch shape on the upper and outer part of the cheeks and going up to the temples blending very well will give this nice sun kissed effect very flattering.

5. On the center of the face and downwards.

This a very natural flush type of blush application, apply the blush underneath the eye and just a bit outwards and blend downwards.

    Hola Silvia:
    Gracias por este post, a mi me gustan las cinco formas, según para que momento o para que maquillaje suelo usar una u otras.
    A mi si me gustaría que pusieras más formas, porque en realidad las únicas que conozco son las que has puesto en esta entrada.
    Besitos
