Steps
Start with clean, moisturised skin and give your skincare a few minutes to sink in, so cream products blend instead of sliding around.
Dot a serum concealer under the eyes and over any redness, then tap it in with a damp sponge or your ring finger.
Swipe a cream contour stick into the hollow under each cheekbone, along the jawline and at the temples, then blend upward with a sponge.
Warm the outer edges of your face with a bronzing balm, working from the cheek toward the hairline so the colour fades out.
Place cream blush above the apples of your cheeks and sweep it up toward your temples. Keeping it high lifts a round face.
Set the centre of your face and under your eyes with a light setting powder, and leave the cheeks mostly dewy.
Press a matching powder blush over the cream blush to lock it in, then add highlighter on the top of the cheekbones only.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep blush no lower than the tip of your nose, or it drags the whole face downward.
Blend in small upward circles rather than downward strokes.
Apply every cream product before you touch powder, or the creams will catch and go patchy.
Skip shimmer on the roundest part of the cheeks and keep it on the cheekbone instead.
Questions
Where should blush go on a round face?
Place it above the apples of your cheeks and sweep it up toward the temples. This lifts the face instead of widening it.
Does contour really slim a round face?
It adds shadow, so the face reads narrower, but placement matters more than the amount. Keep the contour in the hollow and blend upward.
Cream or powder blush first?
Cream first, then powder on top. The powder sets the cream and helps the colour last longer.
