Having a naturally radiant complexion can be a game changer for anyone looking to elevate their makeup look. According to Sierra Mayhew, a beauty expert, the secret to a model-worthy profile lies in the subtle yet effective application of blush. In a viral Instagram video, Mayhew revealed her clever hack for adding definition to her cheekbones, a technique that has since been shared by many.
By positioning her index and middle fingers diagonally, away from the bottom of her nose, she expertly guides the blush to create a "baby face" look. What makes this hack so effective is the strategic placement of the blush. When applied correctly, it can nip the center of the face, and instead, focus on sculpting the cheekbones.
By doing so, a more lifted and defined look is achieved. The overlap with contouring or bronzer areas creates a seamless gradient of color... enhancing the natural shadows and highlights of the face. As a result, "many women are now regarding blush as an essential component of their daily makeup routine.".. amplifying their overall aesthetic and transforming their radiance.
