Danielle’s Suggestion: Apply using the NARS Ita Kabuki brush
Warning: This contouring technique depends very much on bone structure. We are not re-inventing the wheel with this contour, we are accentuating what you are already working with. Think ‘diffused contour’.
- Blend upwards. “If you blend down, you’ll look like a man,” according to Danielle.
- Circular motions. Apply your contour blush using circular motions rather than a linear motion (also known as ‘striping’).
Danielle’s Suggestion: NARS Blush in Seduction or Marsala (recently announced by pantone as the color of the year)
NARS also has an amazing blush brush: The Yachiyo Brush – Trust. This brush is excellent for blush because of the shape of the bristles. It will accent your cheekbone perfectly.
Danielle’s Suggestion: NARS Reckless Blush
Apply to the areas of your face that would naturally catch light such as the top of your cheekbone or the top of your nose. Buff out after you apply with a clean brush to help achieve the diffused contour look.
