Different ways to apply blush.
The general way is to start on the apple of the cheeks and blend upward towards the hairline, then downwards to ensure a well-blended and thorough application.
 There are, however, application variations to use based on the shape of your face.

• If you have a thin face and want your cheeks to appear more prominent, apply blush more so on the apples and lightly on the cheek bones.

• If you have a round face that you want to appear thinner, apply more so along the cheek bone and less on the apples.
