Can pinkish and reddish blushes be used to slim face?

[korina981]

i've heard of using bronzer or brownish tints to contour and make a face look thinner or less round. Can the same be done with reddish or pinkish blushes or does it look unnatural? i know these (red and pink blushes) are usually just applied to the apples of cheeks but i feel like my face look chubbier like that.

I am not sure if either of those colors could be used for contouring.

Hi,

You can try using the color on a downward angle instead of on the apple of your cheek. Applying blush on a downward angle gives the illusion of length to your face.

i tried that with a pink shimmery blush and i think it did make my face look a little longer so thank you for that tip!

i heard i could use a pink blush darker than the one i use for the apples and apply it in the hollows.
