Blush Placement Rules I Wish I Knew Sooner

I did makeup for years before realizing I’d been applying blush all wrong. Here’s what actually works: 🎯 Where to place it: • Find your cheekbone’s highest point—now move 1cm inward. That’s your center. • Don’t go below your nostrils. It drags the face down. • Never pass the inner edge of your pupil when looking straight. Keeps it lifted and balanced. 📐 Blush direction matters: • Short face? Sweep upward (diagonal). • Long face? Go horizontal for balance. 🎨 Best tools? Use a small brush, tap powder on half the bristle edge. For cream blush, fingers work great—dab in, build slowly. Always blend the edges. 💡Tip for beginners: go for "mood colors"—rosy or peach tones that add softness without overwhelming the face. Trust me, placement > pigment. #beauty #makeup #blush
