Blush and Asian Faces

This week’s post is going to be about applying blush on Asian faces to suit our skin tone and our face shapes.

COLORS
Many asians have yellow undertones and olive skin. The colors of blush that look best with our colouring include oranges, peach, coral, and very soft pink. Of course, you can always try different shades for fun to experiment.

HOW TO APPLY
Most Asians have a round or a square face shape, which means that it is more wide and doesn’t always have very defined cheekbones.

If you want to create cheekbones, apply the blush on your cheekbones and blend outwards towards your ears.

We often want to create the illusion of a slimmer face, apply blush in a sideways V on your face’s sides and then blend your makeup up and outwards.  Take a look at the green hilights on the pictures below for some examples.
