Many women want to look younger without having a plastic surgery, so they can use a makeup technique called “draping”, which aims to achieve a natural and bright effect, emphasizing the features in a natural way, and making them look younger. Draping only requires a duo of blushes of different tones, a lighter one to enhance the area of the cheekbones and chin, and a darker one that will add depth to the face.
The first step to use the draping method is to apply a light moisturizer, giving your face a gentle massage, then correct imperfections such as redness, dark circles or bags under eyes. Next, apply the foundation, always opting for a tone that is most similar to your skin tone.
Then proceed to apply the blush, creating an apple shape around the face, with a shade darker than the skin, under the cheekbone, under the chin and jaw, as well as on the temples and sides of the nose. To illuminate and highlight, a lighter tone is used next to the dark tone, on the upper part of the cheeks, chin and temples.
This contrast of tones will give you a healthy and luminous appearance since the dark shade will be like a frame to your face and the light shade will add a natural and fresh finish to it, thanks to the diffusion. To apply this technique, you will need creamy blushes ideally, in peach tones, avoiding red or pink tones that will only give you an artificial appearance.
If you have an elongated face, apply the blushe horizontally, always from the center of the cheek, at the height of the nostrils, and blend it out upwards towards the temples. To soften the features of the face, apply the blush almost diagonal to the cheekbone to the top of the ear.
For oval faces, apply the blush from the top of the cheekbone, but do not get near the eyes or nose. It is advisable to use a brighter tone on the cheekbones, nose, forehead and chin. It should be applied in the most prominent area of the cheekbone towards the scalp in the shape of a crescent moon. If you have round face, you will need to lengthen it. To achieve this effect, contour and make your face look longer by using a blush in a darker shade than your skin color, always in diagonal lines, from the bottom of the cheekbone and extending to the jaw.
To lengthen a rectangular face you must contour and make the face look thinner by applying the blush in a shade darker than your skin, always diagonally, below the cheekbone and extending it to the jaw. If you need to soften the angular lines on square faces, focus on highlighting your cheeks.
The final step for the draping is to apply the illuminator, which will highlight the look. To achieve this result, apply a touch of illuminator in the lower area of the eyebrow, in the lacrimal area, and in the lower part of the dark circles, this simple step will make you look resplendent and younger. Illuminate your forehead and chin the same way to look dazzling.
