    You can use a mid-tone or something that has a cooler undertone to shade your forehead. Start at the hairline and go along the sides of your temple. Do not go down too far. Stay within the perimeter of the forehead. It should look natural as if you have had a suntan on your forehead.

    Choose your blush based on your skin tone. So if you have yellow undertones, you can use a shade of bronze, orange, or peach. If your skin has pink undertones, go for shades of pink or lavender.

    It is easy to apply cream blush. It is not intense, and you can blend it down. If you feel that you have put too much of it, you can rub it away. If you have more texture and a little more aged skin, then cream blush is more suitable. Powder blush is good for a little younger and less textured skin.

    Try to see the cheeks as a three-part system. Apply blush to the apple. Then apply the highlighter where the blush has stopped. So it should be on the bone above the blush.

    What exercises will burn fat from my cheeks?
    Community Answer
    You can't burn fat in your face directly through exercise. You need to lose fat overall and you will slim down all around your body, including your cheeks.
  • Question
    How much weight can I lose by walking 30 minutes every day for 2 weeks?

    Walking will burn calories. If you burn more calories than you consume, weight loss may occur. If you eat more than you usually do in the two weeks you walk daily for 30 minutes, you won't lose any weight. The amount of calories people can burn walking for 30 minutes varies, depending on how much they weigh. Attempting to lose a noticeable amount of weight in just two weeks is not recommended.
  • Question
    My face is sort of like an oval, and it looks like I don't have any cheekbones. Help?

    Oval is actually the best shape. If you are a teen, then you will have baby fat in your cheeks, your face will get thinner as you get older. In the meantime, apply a fake tan as a contour. Look up contouring on YouTube, it's easy. Use a fake tan that is not too dark for your skin, and use a highlighter on the top of your cheekbones, but again, take it easy. Don't forget to add the tan to your jawline and down your neck. Mix it with moisturizer on the neck.
