If I may ask, how do you suggest applying blush to a diamond shaped face? I have a strong bone structure with very high cheekbones and always apply blush diagonally which emphasizes the cheekbones. Sometimes I try to apply it slightly below the cheek more toward the front, but I have to be careful to blend well as i dont want it to look like a blob in front or too close to my nose, so I stick to the highest point below my cheekbone or even on top of it.
ReplyDeleteHi there Vivella!
DeleteGood question. Diamond faces would be similar to the square one. Apply it diagonally just at the base of the cheek. Make sure it is very diffused and blended to soften the defined diamond shape. I like to use a stipple brush to achieve that look. I also apply more near the cheek and gradually fade it towards the temples. Thanks for reading my post! :)
