According to the make-up artist Jane Richardson, who works for Nars Cosmetics, the most important thing to remember is that make-up should follow the natural shadow lines on the face.

Also that blush should be applied to the most attractive parts of the face, ie, those parts of the face that we want to emphasize.Color is never applied under the cheekbone on the cheeks, below the upper half of the face, not too close to the nose.

Here are tips for applying blush for three basic types of face shapes.

Round face - This face, what has, for example, actress Kirsten Dunst, is mostly small and can look like it is covered with blush.

Use a fan brush for your blush (like this one in the picture above). It is excellent for precise applying blush on small faces. Apply blush in the shape of a boomerang, with one end under the outer edge of the eye, and central, below the fullest part of the inner edge of the eye.

Continue with applying with the same brush to complement the shape of the boomerang.

Use a round brush to complete the whole look, but don't apply blush on the cheeks below the cheekbone and the side, away from the end of the eyebrows.

Apply just a hint of blush on the chin to visually elongate the face.

Square face - this person is, for example, model Gisele Bundchen. They have excellent defined contours and may appear in some cases too dramatic and rough. Although they have fantastic cheek bones, when it comes to blushing, it is necessary to follow certain rules in order to highlight best facial attributes.
