1. Round Face
So, this is what my face shape is. It's completely round and when I was looking up blush application tips for every face shape, I found that the round face actually needs to be slenderized. What you do is actually apply your blush in a sideways V along your cheekbones and blend upward. This will give you the illusion that your cheeks are much thinner than they might be!

For those with round faces, it is important to remember to apply blush in a sideways V along the cheekbones and blend upward. This will help to create the illusion of a more slender face. When applying blush, use a brush that is not too dense or too stiff. This will help to ensure that the blush is applied evenly and does not look too heavy. Additionally, use a blush shade that is one to two shades lighter than your natural skin tone for a more natural look. Finally, be sure to blend the blush up towards your temples to help add definition to your face.
2. Oval Face
Oh you oval-faced girls out there, you have one of the best faces because it is all even proportionally. For this blush application tip, you actually want to use your fingertips and locate the most prominent part of your cheek. Once that is done, blend upwards, toward your temples to really highlight your cheeks.

Oval faces are considered the most versatile and easy to work with when it comes to makeup application. To apply blush to an oval face, use your fingertips to locate the most prominent part of your cheek. Then, blend upwards towards your temples to create a natural, glowing look. When using blush, be sure to pick a shade that complements your skin tone and blend it well. For a more dramatic look, you can use a bronzer in the hollows of your cheekbones and a highlighter on the apples of your cheeks. With the right products and technique, you can easily achieve a beautiful, natural-looking flush.
