Maximalist beauty never went any wear. “Over Blushing” is nothing but outlining and sculpting your face with blush instead of contour products. It adds heavily pigmented color to your cheeks and temples while adding definition to the face.

This trend focuses on the hyper placement of blush, with the ending result being very doll-like. To achieve this look, you’d want to use liquid blush with intense pigment. The blush would need to be applied in the shape of tiny arrows on the outer eye, nose, chin and cheekbones — using a beauty blender to blend effortlessly for an ethereal look.
Under Eye Blushing

The girlies are now using blush mixed in with their concealer to brighten and lift the under-eye area. Begin by adding a slight touch of liquid blush in the inner corner of the eyes, going in next with your preferred concealer — blending them together. Be sure to set it with a powder blush of the same hue and you’ll achieve a magical finish.

Who said that blush was only meant for the cheeks? This technique adds blush to the lids and lips with a bit of gloss for an editorial, professional finish.
