Face product placements have really changed since the 1980s...which, judging from XX's blush application, she's still stuck in that decade.Polarbear wrote:really??? i didn't know that but i always put my blusher on the apple of my cheeks and also slightly above my cheeks.paperbag wrote:Not only is the application disgusting, but everyone knows blush on the apples of your cheeks ages you... everyone except wendy apparently.
I don't do this myself personally because I don't wear foundation on a day to day basis, but for those who wear foundation (especially full coverage) that tends to cover up the natural flushing color of their faces, the basics are like this to give your face back some definition:
1. Highlighter above the apples of the cheeks
2. Blush on the apples of the cheek blended towards the temples
3. Contour shade in the hollows of the cheek blended slightly towards the temples and not too close to your mouth (varies depending on your facial structure)
The above 3 steps should be done subtlely and then built up if necessary. You aren't supposed to LOOK like your have highlighter, blush, and contour on your face. It's supposed to look like your face is just flushed that way.
XX just has blush ALL OVER her cheeks, which is why I think paperbag is saying that XX is doing it wrong.
