[{"selector":"#anim-18764c5f-7505-4428-b67b-d1c873b19212","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-951580a1-e856-4d45-912f-06e7944830c3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0b1ddac4-9d99-4fe6-a121-aadd19490a30","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 165.66225%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Instead of applying it directly to the apples, which can make the face appear fuller, apply it just above the apples and blend it slightly upwards towards the temples.

By applying blush higher on the faces, you can create the appearance of sculpted cheekbones.

[{"selector":"#anim-6bcb9617-064b-4d0a-b32a-92e41f93dd78","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e56032f4-6613-4787-bce4-2e32f7e4bad7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e5a27516-a083-41b8-a2e3-ba8cd83e7796","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 218.77690%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This technique also imparts a fresh, subtle hue to the face, making you appear radiant.

[{"selector":"#anim-5f69936a-e773-438b-aec2-7d3bc5ffc0e0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ac527bcd-a3d9-4ca4-b040-9dd4440be2a8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-933e7b09-18e9-4e4f-baea-97eb46e513ae","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 200.15766%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Use a soft, fluffy blush brush and a natural blush hue that suits your skin tone to achieve this hack.

[{"selector":"#anim-df35eaf8-2012-43e5-9f44-b8af69776812","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-183e4b76-66c5-4bae-afe3-4d402d81c1bc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9fb28c78-7ce3-4652-b0ad-4b139758187e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 200.15766%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Tap the blush brush gently into the blush, tap off any excess, and then smile to find the apples of your cheeks.

[{"selector":"#anim-6b9a5c00-a8d9-45c9-bd2a-c23e01dbdd49","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4747e157-03fe-4653-b013-cbe7caba1225","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5a1995f8-7d98-4627-b0aa-d4bb5d272fc5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 159.44758%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Swipe the brush slightly above the apples, gently mixing the color upwards towards your hairline.

[{"selector":"#anim-12b89719-497b-48d3-ad5b-828f2c9ea657","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-43974337-d1c1-4e3c-8a9f-a6840927cb61","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c115359d-82e3-4b7d-a44a-7b5c66deba88","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 200.15766%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

To avoid applying too much blush at once, start with a light application and gradually build up the color.

With this blush hack, you can rapidly brighten your skin and attain a youthful, glowing appearance with no effort.
