16 Un-Basic Ways to Wear Blush

When it comes to playing up our features with makeup, it’s almost always about the eyes or lips. It’s about time for cheeks to have their moment. Normally, we apply blush to the apples of the cheeks as part of our basic beauty routine and that’s the most attention they get. But there are so many ways to make cheeks the focal point of a makeup look.

Many of us shy away from blush for fear that a heavy-handed approach will result in a not-so-flattering 80s look.

It’s about placement, finish and complementary products.
