Here’s the #1 Rule: The brighter the blush, the less area it should cover. When using a bright shade, use it only on the apples of your cheeks. Pink is most flattering to very pale skin. Medium skin should lean toward darker pink or light bronze.
Yellow tones will find that berries and plums will counteract sallowness.
Ethnic skins can still wear pink, but a slightly browner tone.
With the right contouring techniques, it can look like you’ve lost weight, you’ve changed the
shape of your face, and you’ve got the planes and angles of a top supermodel.
When you try to contour and you do it incorrectly, it ends up looking like you’ve got streaks of dirt on your face.
Choose a color tone. Contouring can help create shadows where they don’t normally occur. Go no more than two shades deeper than your natural skin tone. Otherwise it makes your face look strange.
Apply color by sucking in your cheeks, and with your fingers, feel your cheekbones. Step your fingers down until you feel natural hollows. This is the area where you should concentrate your blush. Roll the brush up to your temples. Don’t just sweep it up, or it will give you a line. Lightly rolling will appear more natural.
Right above your blush, apply a highlighter. Be sure to blend the edges with the blush with your fingers. The goal is to never let any lines show on your face.

Dust blush on top of your forehead, along your jawline, and under your cheekbones. Don’t go too far down your face, no farther than the bottom of your nose.
Square Face
Shade the sides of your jaw and forehead. Sweep over your cheekbones Heart-Shaped Face
Shade the sides of your forehead, temples, and tip of your chin. Sweep over your cheekbones.
