Placement Over Quantity

Great makeup isn’t just about what products you use—it’s about where you place them. Strategic application can lift, sculpt, and bring out your best features without adding more product.

The Trick: Placement Over Quantity

Tip 1: Lift with Blush
Instead of applying blush directly on the apples of your cheeks, sweep it slightly higher—closer to the temples. This creates the illusion of a lifted face and a more sculpted profile.

Blush isn’t just color—it’s structure, mood, and glow in one sweep.

Tip 2: Highlight Naturally
Apply highlighter only to the high points where light hits—cheekbones, brow bone, tip of the nose. This enhances bone structure without looking overdone.

Tip 3: Contour with Intention
Contour should mimic natural shadow. Lightly sculpt under the cheekbones (not too low), around the jawline, and at the edges of the forehead. Blend well for a seamless transition.

Why It Works: When placement is intentional, you don’t need to pile on product. The right positioning brings structure, warmth, and balance—letting your natural beauty shine through.
