[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wearing blush on the apples of your cheeks is ageing, which shocked me because I had done this for years and years.  I remember teen magazines in the late 90s advising how to apply blush on your apples, and had no idea there was another way.

Here is a video showing the better method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KjOb4KsnOA&t=29s

Try it! [/quote]

I see what she is saying and I think the alternative application looks fine, but I don't think the first one is aging. I think it's just out of style -- the trend now is toward a more countered look and a "clean" face (don't yell at me, I didn't come up with that term) where cheeks and eyes look bare but the face is defined by strong brows, color (not necessarily bright color, but strong color) on the lips, and eyelashes. The "side blush" works to counter and therefore looks modern. The "apple blush" takes away from the "clean" face and therefore looks dated.

Agree with the other PP that she's applying too much color on both sides, but that's likely just to show the difference -- most people wouldn't apply that much. She also hasn't fully blended it.[/quote]
