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.
