It's like contouring, but with blush.

Rosy Cheeks
Draping works on all skin tones. Those with darker complexions may just need to add an extra layer of color to ensure the blush pops against skin. To further enhance rosy red cheeks, apply red lipstick. Twist hair into a cute updo so the draped blush will be fully visible.

Want to try something different than matching draped blush with eyeshadow and lipstick? Coordinate the blush with a hair accessory. An oversized flower is one of our favorite options. Buck tradition altogether by mixing graphic eyeliner, metallic eyeshadow and a neutral lipstick.

All About the Cheeks
For a new twist on a no-makeup makeup look, make cheeks the (subtle) focal point. Stipple on a peach blush, brush brows, add some lip balm and go out the door.

Classic Reworked
Red lipstick is a classic. Stick with the timeless lip color, but tweak the rest of makeup by complementing lips with the faintest wash of draped blush.

Brown Tones
Let's not forget about brown and neutral blushes. They're perfect for bronzer fans and contouring addicts. Play off the blush with a neutral lip color.
