how to do your blush and contour

Apply contour (or bronzer) in the hollows of your cheeks and jawline for structure, then apply blush on top of the cheekbones, blending upward and outward to blend into the contour. For a seamless look, use cream formulas on wet foundation before setting, or powder formulas after, ensuring they meet rather than overlap heavily.

Key Steps for a perfect blush and contour:

  • Contour Placement: Apply contour below the cheekbone to lift, along the hairline to shorten the forehead, and along the jawline to define.
  • Blush Placement: For a lifted effect, apply blush higher on the cheekbones, blending towards the temples. For a youthful, rounder look, apply to the apples of the cheeks.
  • Blending is Key: Always blend upward to avoid a dragging effect on the face. Use a dense brush for creams and an airy brush for powders.
  • Marry the Two: Blend the blush into the top edge of your contour/bronzer to avoid harsh lines.

Pro-tips:

  • Creams/Liquids: Apply directly to the skin before powdering for a natural, “from within” look.
  • Powders: Apply after setting foundation for a more intense, long-lasting look.
  • Blending Method: Pat or tap products onto the skin rather than rubbing to avoid disturbing foundation.
