How to apply blusher for different face shapes

Matching blush on with the tone of your skin is equally important as the right technique to apply blusher on your face. All tones or shades of blusher and all textures are not mend for you complexion or skin type. If your skin is dark you must go for brighter blush, if you have lighter skin tone you should opt for darker blush.

Blush has to be applied when you are finishing your makeup and take this as final stage. Most common techniques to use blush on have been to smile and blush or make pout or fishy face to blush but again I would suggest technique differs here too.

Different shapes of the face determine different ways of applying blush on correctly. However, this may sound tricky but once you are clear about right technique, this becomes simplest.

If you have gone wrong in applying blush the best way to do it away is with translucent powder and dilute it. Brush has to be applied very softly and lightly.
