The pinnacle of every makeup look is a flush of colour on the cheeks. Now on most days, that translates to a smack and dab of blush on the cheeks. However, each face has a different structure so the application of blush for the face shape also varies. So if you want an angelic tint of colour as opposed to a hurried smattering of it, it all lies in the blusher tips you rely on. Here is everything you need to know about how to apply blush based on the shape of your face…

On an oval face, apply the blush on the apples of your cheeks and blend it naturally into the skin by sweeping it upwards towards the temples. This will help balance the length of the face.
