Blush Tricks That Don’t Work on My Face

I’ve tried every “diamond face” blush hack on the internet: shrink the cheekbones, highlight the center, shift the high points inward. The result? A hot mess. Turns out, not all diamond faces are built the same—and that changes everything. Here’s the breakdown: Type I – prominent cheekbones, full temples/cheeks, smooth jawline (most tutorials use this type). Type II – hollow temples & cheeks, but cheekbones aren’t that sharp. Type III – the unlucky combo: hollowness and sharp cheekbones. That’s me. If you’re Type II or III, adding blush near the cheekbone actually makes things worse—cramped mid-face, heavy upper-face, no room to breathe. So I flipped the script: → Leave the cheekbone alone. → Add blush lower, diagonally from under the cheekbone toward the nose. → Keep the edges soft, use low-saturation shades. Bonus tips: Use unified tones across eyes/lips. Blur the edges. For long mid-faces, balance with under-eye blush or extended lower lash makeup. Works beautifully in motion—perfect for social events. #beauty #makeup #blush
