What is blush draining
The technique consists of making the number 3 on the face, applying the blush from the apples to the temples, passing through the eyes, highlighting this area of ​​the face. The technique tunes the region just below the cheekbones.

It is used in more artistic techniques, mainly with bold and runway looks. This method is precisely designed to dispense with the use of contours with bronzer. The technique is meant to be used lightly, just below the cheekbones to add depth and draw attention to the temples, eyes and cheeks.

How to make blush draping
The first step is to know your face shape to get the best result. The ideal is to use a brush with a lot of bristles to create a smoky effect in the applied areas or also use your fingers for an even lighter and more natural touch.

If the bet is on a more natural and light look, the chosen color must match the skin tone, or a more striking color, if you want to dare, all colors are allowed according to the purpose of the look.
