O = Youthfulness
The O alphabet blush technique makes your face look naturally blushed. This blush placement is a classic and it suits most face types. It involves applying blush in O shape on the apples of your cheeks and then blending it out. This blush application helps add fullness and youthfulness to your face.
W = Sun Kissed
To create the perfect sun kissed effect without overdoing it, try this W blush application hack. You will have to begin from the highest point of one cheekbone which then goes down to the centre of the cheek and then up to the bridge of the nose. Continue this on the other side as well and you will have a W shape. Once you’ve placed it, blend it out and you will have a sun kissed effect.
C = Drama
The C shaped blush hack is all about delivering a dramatic effect. This blush technique extends from the cheekbones and goes all the way up to the brow bones. It’s like a face lift without fillers or contouring. This blush technique can also be referred to as blush draping but with this hack spells it out well so that it is easy for even beginners to create. Draw a C shape with cream blush that starts from your brow bone and ends at your cheekbone. Repeat the same on the other side but like the C is mirrored so that it connects to your brow bone and cheekbone. Blend well and enjoy that snatched look.
These blush application techniques are universally flattering on all face shapes but you can always find your favourite style that best suits you. Try them all out to elevate your makeup game.
