For many people, blush is an integral part of their daily make-up routine. However, how you apply it can make a big difference in your overall look. With this simple blush trick, your face will immediately look like it has been lifted!
Blush trick: It’s all about the technique
The hype surrounding contouring and the like is no coincidence. Where and how you place light and dark tones when applying makeup can have visible effects on the face. This means you can make different parts of your face appear narrower or fuller, depending on your preference. But it’s not just the correct placement of highlight and contour that matters – the right blush placement can also make a huge difference!
Makeup hack: How to do it right
If you apply your blush too low or too centered on your cheeks, it can make your face look down. That’s why it’s important to place blush on the top half of your cheekbones. To find exactly the right spot, there is a very simple trick, as this TikTok creator proves:
Immediate lifting effect with the right application
To do this, you simply have to shape your thumb and index finger into an “L” and place it at the level of your nostril. This allows you to frame your cheekbones with your hand just right to apply the blush there. Make sure to only blend the color upwards and not to spread the blush downwards with the brush. Et voilà: Only with the correct application technique will your face immediately appear visually lifted!
