TWO fingers is all you need to chisel your face with blush, a beauty expert has revealed.
Sierra Mayhew said her easy hack is the difference between having a model’s profile and a “baby face”.

She demonstrated how she applies blush to add definition to her cheekbones in a now-viral Instagram video.
She uses her index and middle fingers in a peace sign and places them diagonally away from the bottom of her nose.
“When you realise blush can completely change your face shape,” she penned.
The two fingers act as a guide to keep the blush application away from the center of your face, which is what produces the “baby face” look.
And by guiding your blush exclusively over your cheekbone towards your temple, you ensure a more lifted and structured look.
The hack works so well because it optimises placement and blending, which are crucial for achieving a sculpted look.
It also helps to avoid applying the blush too low, which can drag the face down.
What’s more, blush applied this way overlaps slightly with areas where you might to contour or apply bronzer, subtly blending the two.
This creates a seamless gradient of colour, enhancing the natural shadows and highlights of your face.
Sierra struck a chord with hundreds of women.
“I’ve been doing it wrong my whole life,” one penned.
“Stop, this is brilliant,” another quipped.
“This is why I look 25 instead of 39,” a third beamed.
The hack works with all blush products – including powder, cream and liquid.
Blush gained a whole new fan club in 2024, with more and more women regarding it as an essential part of their make-up routine.
The “no-makeup makeup” trend is mostly to thank for this, as a soft pop of color on the cheeks mimics a natural flush, enhancing the look of healthy, glowing skin.
And as part of the broader “no contour, just blush” movement, people are embracing blush as a means of adding vibrancy and color without relying heavily on contour.
