The makeup products considered essential vary greatly depending on each person, their preferences, needs and, ultimately, the particular use given to the makeup. Although one of the most common is blush, an essential cosmetic to achieve that sought-after effect of a healthy face and to improve skin tone. Currently there are different types of blush, some more recommended than others depending on the type of skin. And, of course, there are different ways to apply it. Although some are not the most recommended.
Depending on how and where the blush is applied, the result will be completely different. So it is important to take into account, first of all, what you want to achieve with this product. Many people do not pay much attention to this and simply apply the blush on the cheekbones and blend it from one side to the other without thinking much. The result of this is often ending up with half a red face. That is, blush ends up everywhere and not only is the flattering effect it provides wasted, but it can end up being counterproductive. Luckily, this can be avoided very easily.
Applying blush does not have to become an impossible mission, in fact, there is a more than simple technique to do it precisely and quickly. The secret is to establish a guide that serves as a reference to know where the product should be positioned and where it should extend so that the result is flattering.
This formula, which has gone viral thanks to its success on social networks like TikTok, consists of using your fingers as a reference point. To do this, place one hand on the side of the face where you want to start applying the blush. Specifically, with the thumb extended vertically, close to the nose and with the tip just below the tear duct of the eye. While the index finger will be aligned with the ear. In this way, the result is a shape similar to a V.
It is precisely in that limited space that takes the cheek and extends towards the temples where the blush must be applied. The ideal would be to start by placing the brush with the product on the cheekbone area and, using circular movements, blend it while moving it upwards. In this way, a flattering effect is achieved, lifting the face, and avoiding ending up with blush everywhere. It is important to remember that the product must be placed gently on the skin, without squeezing the brush and much less dragging it.
