Look Younger With Blush | Blush Placement for different Face Shapes

[@hollisueltman5519]

So helpful!!!! Thank you. Side note, I don’t think you could ever look ridiculous.

[@PamperedWolf]

Thank you so much. XXX

[@lynndupree1205]

Yay! Thank you for saying it, everyone does not need to sculpt her cheek bones! Those with thinner, more angular face (me!) look much better with placing blush or highlighter on the apples of cheeks. ❤

[@elainebines6803]

Can you help us with bronzer too?

[@AnnHarnett-p2p]

Yes I think that would be good as well’ I never know quite where to put bronzer 😳😳😂

[@bobbiebirden9978]

Yes please this would really help. I mean are we even still using bronzer? It seems to me that it is much less a part of makeup these days.

[@Alpk412]

Yes please Gemma bought some bronzer and just a little afraid to use it 😂

[@KaiOpaka]

Esp bronzer for cool toned skin. It's hard not to look muddy.

[@carolinewalker9148]

Fabulous tutorial thank you so much. Love that you always consides us somewhat more 'mature' members. This is the perfect solution for myself as at 65 I'm finding contouring a little too harsh so many thanks!

[@linda-gl1tv]

Thank God someone at last promoting blush on apples of cheek - absolutely works for me despite years of influencers selling the sculptured look. Much more youthful look to face. I have a small face but the use of colour across the face enlightens everything. Thank you

[@CrazyMaryJo]

Plumped up rounded cheek very flattering on you !

[@jovickers5313]

Yes I think so too, I'll try that in the morning

[@virgoyogini5377]

This is how I place my blush. A separate contour isn't always necessary. It looks beautiful on you ❤

[@lynnewright31]

Hey Gemma, Wow😮 that was a great tutorial! Im 62 so of course I want lift but I have very sculpted cheek bones and a longish face and you showed me how to fix all those things. I think this is my favorite video that you have done. I am partial to tutorials because there's not that many anymore.I had no idea blush could do all that. Thanks so much. God bless you and yours. Lynne from Tx

[@virgoyogini5377]

I have a similar shape, I am often trying to soften my look. This technique should be helpful for you❤

[@patriciayamaoka4640]

Gemma, I think you don't realize how good a teacher you are! Spectacular lesson - and fun, too! Thank you!🥰

[@PamperedWolf]

Oh thank you! xxx

[@jessieh9127]

Thank you so much for this! I've had weight gain due to a medication I was put on so my face shape is totally different and I love blush also, but didn't know what I should do differently to make it look good (and I'm over 40). So thank you again for helping me put blush in a great place again!!!

[@juliagriffiths8550]

I never knew I needed this video Gemma. I can't wait to try these techniques (but not all at the same time) after years of being told it should be this way, or that way. Thank you. x

[@rhondagoodman9993]

I can't thank you enough for this video. I have a narrow, angular face, and I was applying my blush in the wrong area. I now know where and how to apply it to make my face look rounder. It really makes a big difference!

[@josieking5194]

Me too! A small narrow angular face! It's frustrating because for the rounded cheek, there's only about 3/4 an inch in that magic spot where I can actually apply the blush

[@rosej9686]

As I've aged, my temples are not as full as they used to be, so I have to be careful with my blush placement, ensuring I leave this area light, so as to make my temples appear fuller.

[@moonbeammimi]

Oh my! I've been wearing my blush the second way all my adult life (and I'll be 60 this year). It's just how I "naturally blush," so I guess I figured it's how I looked more, well, natural. 🤷‍♀️ (I also don't have lovely cheekbones like yours, Gemma.) You look lovely both ways! ❤️🙂

[@patriciadaidone5146]

Well, you are stunning. Just subscribed to your channel! One of the challenges I face ( no pun ), is some hollowing in the cheek area. I have to be careful, or it visually sinks that area even more. Love your tips. Would love to see you do these on an older model.

[@jangreig6206]

Well done for providing options for different face shapes and not just a uniform 'one size fits all'.

[@prodigaleve4580]

Thanks,Gemma! this was very useful. Im now looking forward to experimenting with my blush.❤😊

[@rhondagoodman9993]

Very helpful video. I want my face to look fuller, but also uplifted. Now I know how to apply my blush.

[@robinborsos2368]

Thank you for showing ways to making the face fuller! I have a narrow face as it is, but I’ve lost a good bit of weight lately and it will be nice to make my face not look so sharp.

[@kimk8869]

Love this tutorial! Thank you for showing me various techniques! ❤

[@YurKillingMeSmalls]

Finally someone says just because we age doesnt mean we must lift with blush, that its not the answer for everyone! As I'm getting older my face is becoming more defined and angular and frankly that lifting technique was in fact aging me even more so. I was starting to give up beloved blush and just using bronzer for at least some color because no matter how many people insisted I HAD to do it, I looked awful. Thanks for some alternate techniques, I'm going to use the apple technique with some eye lift. Thanks so much Gemma you're a legend!!! ❤

[@jodie3339]

Love this side by side comparison! So helpful!!

[@mn8304]

Best blush video I've seen yet , thanks!

[@hydromell]

i usuually combine 2 or 3 methods in 1 in my own style because every angle, shape and size is different for each face. the best makeup artist is your ownself, you know your face better than anyone.

[@blindriddle2742]

Thank you, this was very straightforward and helpful.

[@cheriyost2780]

Such a great video! Teaching instead of selling! Thank you!!

[@Diana-yk7sp]

This is so helpful. I have a long face and never thought to put it on my nose. Love the diagonal placement around the eye for a lifting effect.

[@ChrissieSM]

Hi Gemma, please could you kindly do a video on which blush colours to use.

[@sharonobrien7341]

Thank you!! I have been trying the upper cheek blush placement and it never looked right on me. This video helped so much! I look much better now 😊

[@RogueWave2030]

I love the way you explain how to do these things & why we're doing it. Its tromp l'oile! New subscriber :)

[@PamperedWolf]

Thanks for subbing! xxx

[@donnabrown744]

I'm so excited, I've been looking for something like this💕

[@amymcginty6634]

You’re a great teacher! Thanks so much😘

[@kjohnsonshelton0923]

Thank you for this tutorial. I’ve been trying different blush placements over the past year (I’m 56) and your video has helped me to make sense of placement:)

[@tamarakinney2721]

Thank you so much!!! I'm so tired of the "experts" making up trends and not paying attention to each person's face shape and skin tones and texture. Makeup should enhance people's natural beauty, not sell products and trends.

[@beztoop342]

The eyelift effect was very helpful, thank you.

[@jovickers5313]

Very useful, thank you. I'm try this technique in the morning👍 it's great to have a fellow Yorkshire lass to follow on KZbin thank you. I don't usually comment even though I've followed you for years, but just want to say thank you

[@boolena]

So useful and timely; I’ve been wondering lately about that lower placement and you’ve given me courage.

[@bcworth444]

Finally!! A blush tutorial I can use!!! Thank you so much, Gemma. This is so helpful ❤

[@marilynmerrick7010]

Another terrific video. I love all of them. Thank you. Have got several of your recommended products on my wish list. Hope your children are feeling better now.

[@PamperedWolf]

They are thank you Marilyn x

[@sandragirard8054]

Love the droopy eye trick! Thanks 🙏

[@Patricia-pq4jq]

I love blush too

[@lcarolc03]

Excellent ! Blush makes me happy and this information is amazing. Thank you very much.

[@carollarue704]

Wow Gemma! Great video. I'm 83 with a very thin face. Now I know I should be putting blush much lower. I really didn't get what all the hoopla was about regarding blush. Now, due to your expertise, I'm about to find what I've been missing out on. When is your Mom coming back? . I kind of look like her I've been told....even the same hair and passion for our Ziip Halos and Cle de Beau (lol)🥰. Thanks so much for such a spectacular video!

[@PamperedWolf]

My mum is currently testing out lots of new products for a future video xxx

[@MichelleLeone66]

Thanks for this video! I'm going to try these techniques. I love blush too!

[@bettydantzler5862]

VERY helpful! Thank you so much! You are so knowledgeable. Love your personality.

[@martasadaba1587]

Very useful tips, thank you. I,m very kind of blushes, since i was 15 years old. (I,m 56!!!) In fact, it was the first make up product I weared, I,ve always felt that blush added "life" to my face.

[@kimberlyanderson6457]

Wow!! This was really helpful. I love blush but use it sparingly since I'm never confident about my application. Don't want to look like a clown.

[@Oceangirl1234]

I love the plump cheek rounded look on you

[@lindagallaway-moore4158]

Hi Gemma! I have been looking for this blush video for years! I have asked, begged and searched until i was numb. I have always used blush to 10:29 sculpt my chin. Thank-you!! Now i can add the colour my very fair face has craved. Your advice is perfect. Have a lovely day. 😊 PS I am 66 years young. Do you have a video for small eye simple makeup please?

[@purpletoes77]

I’m in my late 50’s now. I can remember playing around with my blush application when I was a teenager- bringing it up my temples, putting it on my nose like you are showing. ( Perhaps I was following Teen magazine instructions) For some reason, when all this bronzing/contouring became popular, I tried to do that and forgot about the blush tricks I did when I was younger. I went looking for blush application tricks today because I just don’t like my blush placement on my face. The idea of adding powder on top of the dewy foundation to help the blush not look like it’s in a line because the foundation grabs it… that’s exactly what was happening! I appreciate your help.

[@PamperedWolf]

So glad this video was helpful to you x

[@WendyOnAWhim]

These tips were great! Thanks so much!!

[@TJ-bn2cn]

I do like both of the two sides of the blush in the first section. You haven’t got to the falling face yet but I’d love your mom and you to show how to wear lipstick etc, when the sides of your mouth start slightly turning down. Just makes us look constantly grumpy 😢

[@djok7375]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much Beautiful!

[@erinbuxton6787]

I love women with plump cheekbones, so I am team round cheekbone placement!

[@patriciamcpherson4667]

You look nice. Love this video it's very informative.

[@marlenekerrmarlene1259]

yes that really make a difference

[@gladysgarrity5721]

Thanks Gemma will try a few ❤

[@karenbyrne7597]

Going to have to take video into bathroom to try with blush as I’ve already forgotten what you’ve said. I definitely needed this video the beauty assistants always say put high and no where near centre

[@DMedina-lo9hm]

Thank you so much! I’m a true blush lover and these tips are so helpful! ❤

[@pinkbutterflies1679]

Love these tips especially the blush tip. Definitely going to try these techniques. Have a great day Gemma. 😊

[@michellej5517]

I have a small round face and the time I think it looks best is after I’ve exercised and I have a natural flush across my nose and cheeks, it looks so healthy and the pink brings out the green of my eyes. I try to recreate this but am still hunting down the perfect cool pink toned blusher. I like benefit dandelion but would like a cream blush version.

[@claredyj2015]

Wow this was a fab, interesting video Gem. I love my blush and these tips where great!!!❤❤

[@alicehogg5176]

Great perfect sense

I think the final look shall be my office look tomorrow

This was eye opening for me! Thank you 💖

[@patriciam.1204]

Thank you for this, because of meds my face can be quite full or look quite gaunt depending on dosage, so this helps so so much, I do try to look normal 😂😂😂

[@champagenroses]

This information you shared Gemma was very helpful😊 My favorite blush shade is from Essence - 01 Shimmery Rose. This shade is a subtle shimmer that looks nice on a light skin tone. Could you share your tips on applying bronzer? Take care everyone 🌹

[@ediedodson6902]

Wow, this is awesome. Going to try these methods.

[@sharonbackos4975]

Thank you so much!!

[@marilyn6556]

I appreciate this lesson because I have never been good with blush. I have always done it on the apples of my cheeks. I am going to try the method that lifts the face. I have a square face, and I am hoping that lifting my cheeks up will help. Thanks!!!❤

[@iwillstom]

Definitely trying the higher placement for dark circles. I always have that circular “zone of perfection” around my eyes from full coverage concealer and there’s a line of demarcation between that and the “ridge” of my cheekbone. Hard to explain but it makes blending that area tougher.

[@kristimeyers2221]

Thank you so much! I requested this video and I really appreciate this masterclass Gemma! My problem is placing blush high so that it lifts and gives a rounded cheek but not so that it emphasizes my fat loss in my under eye area. I just have to be really careful, I guess. When I was young, I just slapped the blush on!😂

[@shylajamahendra]

Taught perfectly 👌 Thank you ❤

[@jann3443]

Very helpful, Gemma. Thank you. Blush placement is a daily challenge for me. I've tried several placements. At 74, the apples of my cheeks seem to be between my nose and upper lip now. 🥴 If it weren't true it would be funny!! 😉 With bangs/fringe I'd skip blush swept up the outer portion of my eye. It wouldn't be seen. I'm going to try the 2 finger method again. I remember a previous video of yours talking about that method. 👍🏻

[@cf8595]

maybe an unpopular opinion but i loved your look best WITHOUT blush! you had an olive-y/earthy look going on and you just looked naturally radiant. the blush suddenly made you look "made up" which is just a different vibe is all.

[@maryferr333]

❤Great info thank you sweetie

[@melissavidic2895]

Hi Gemma, that was insightful I normally don’t wear blush. I literally have only two one of which is a highlighting blush. If I ever choose to wear them on the more study regular basis, I will definitely head your advice. Thank you for the review and by the way, I love your accent may I ask what part of the UK are you from?
