• Square... Your task is to soften the features, give your face more roundness. To do this, blush is applied in the center of the cheeks and stewed in a circle. This will accentuate the middle of the face.

• Oval and elongated. For these types, the same rules apply - the product is applied to those areas of the cheekbones that protrude. The shading is carried out towards the ears, a small amount of the product is also placed on the temples.

• Round... The task in this case is to give the face a relief, visually narrow it. It is wrong to think that blush accentuates chubby cheeks. If you apply the product to the apples and blend it diagonally along the cheekbones, the face will visually appear more graceful.

• Triangular... Owners of this type of face need to create an accent in the middle of the face, to divert attention from sharp corners. The product is applied strictly along the line of the cheekbones in semicircular movements towards the temples.
