Frequently Asked Questions About Cheek Makeup
What makeup do you put on your cheeks?
To enhance your cheeks, there are a few essential beauty products to choose from. Blush adds a natural flush of color to your face, giving it warmth and dimension. You can opt for cream blush, powder blush, or a convenient blush stick depending on your skin type and desired finish. Bronzer warms up the face, mimicking a sun-kissed glow. Sweep it along the cheekbones and jawline for added depth. Highlighter brightens the high points of your face, such as the tops of your cheeks, to create a radiant, luminous effect. Some products are multitaskers too—like cream blush sticks that can be used on the lips and cheeks for a coordinated pop of color.
How do you apply cheek makeup?
To apply cheek makeup like a pro, follow these steps for a fresh, radiant look. Starting with blush, apply your chosen color to the apples of your cheeks, blending upward along the cheekbone. A cream blush offers a dewy finish, while powder blush provides a more matte effect. Lightly sweep bronzer along your cheekbones, jawline, and forehead to warm up your face. Use a highlighter to bring light to the high points of the face—top of cheeks, brow bone, and bridge of the nose. For a harmonious beauty look, dab the same blush or cream product onto your lips for a subtle pop of coordinating color. Blending is key—use a brush or sponge for powder products, and fingertips or a makeup sponge for cream products.
