Oval face
An oval face is considered perfect. Correcting is really not necessary. Do you want to accentuate cheekbones or just the apples of your cheeks? Experiment to your hearts content, now blush in a round shape to make your face fuller, then again with blush in longer shape to emphasize the length.

Square face 

With a square face, the jaw line is about as wide at  as at the cheeks and the forehead. Put blusher on the front of your cheeks and as little as possible on the outside of the face. This will make the cheekbones more prominent, so it looks like you have an oval face.

Heart face

Usually it is preferred to make the jaw look like it is a bit wider. You can get this effect by putting blush like a triangle with the wide side down towards the front of your face. This takes more attention to the jaw and will make your face look like an Oval. It makes you face look a bit longer too, therefore this works.

Round face
A round face has full cheeks, a round chin and is quite wide. Therefore, you best emphasize the length of the face. Put the blush like a long triangle just below the cheekbone, with the tip to your jaw. Rub the product well along the sidelines for an invisible transition to the rest of your face.

Long face
A long face has a high forehead, an oblong shape and a sharp and clear jaw line. Blush works very effectively here: Put it in a tight and round motion on your cheeks’ apples to make your face look optically fuller and shorter.
