Keep blush localized for round faces.
Blush, if applied correctly, can enhance any look with gentle suffused color. For round faces, the challenge when applying makeup such as blush is avoiding making the face look more full, while also giving the face more definition. Small tricks like keeping the coloration within certain bounds, and applying the blush to other parts of the face can help the round-faced person achieve a more flattering glow. Does this Spark an idea?
Create a Sideways V
For a round face, width and length of the face are similar, so applying blush should avoid accentuating the round shape and create the illusion of length. One way to do this is by forming a sideways V in which the color is brushed upward. You will want to avoid blushing too close to the nose, which will call attention to the round shape of your face.
Apply Blush Elsewhere
Traces of blush to other parts of your face can make a round face look more defined. Apply blush to the tops of your temples, and also the center of your chin to mitigate the overall roundness.
Observe Limits
Keeping the blush within bounds will assist the round face in looking less round. When applying blush, do not go beyond the bottom of your cheekbones. Likewise, avoid blushing outside the ends of your eyebrows. You should also stay just above the apples of your cheekbones.
Other Tricks
Appropriate hardware can assist round faces in the task of creating a natural blush and less round-looking face. For small faces in particular, a fan brush applies the makeup more accurately, while a medium brush blends the makeup without spreading it too far and emphasizes the appearance of roundness.
