Where to Apply Liquid Blush

Where you apply liquid blush may depend on the formula you are using and your natural face shape, but generally, liquid blush should be applied to the apples of your cheeks and blended up to the tops of the cheekbones.

To identify the apples of your cheeks, smile into the mirror - the plumpest area at the centre of your cheeks is called the apple. When applying your liquid blush, use the middle of your eyes as the cut-off point and avoid placing product any closer to your nose.

Refer to the below diagram for Charlotte’s recommended liquid blush placement!

  1. Foundation in a clear plastic bottle with a sleek gold coloured lid, foundation wand with gold packaging and a dark brown body that's the colour of the foundation inside along with a gold-coloured lid, and foundation in a frosted glass bottle with a gold-coloured lid.

    Step 1: Beautify Your Complexion

    Before you apply liquid blush, beautify your complexion by applying one of Charlotte’s fabulous foundations! Choose Airbrush Flawless Foundation for a full-coverage look, Charlotte's Beautiful Skin Foundation for a healthy-looking glow with medium-buildable coverage, or Light Wonder as a light coverage option. Then, to conceal the appearance of uneven skin tone, dark circles and blemishes, apply Charlotte’s Beautiful Skin Radiant Concealer, building up to your desired coverage. Shop all foundations:

    Add one dot to the apples of your cheeks for a soft, daytime look, and add a second dot as a romantic, rosy date night look. If you’re heading to the disco, add a third dot and make your cheeks BLUSH!
