A new trend has swept the beauty world: "ear blush." Following the popularity of Korean knee blush, Japanese girls have taken blush application to a whole new level. Is blush free? They're applying it everywhere.
Blush is an absolute must in Japanese girls' makeup routines. Nowadays, it's not just for cheeks—there's the once-trendy "under-eye blush," followed by knee blush and ear blush. It feels like even more inventions are on the way.
How do you apply ear blush?
Don't blame us for raising doubts—clumsy girls might accidentally make themselves look like they have frostbite. How to fix this? Here's the correct way to "ear blush."
Step 1: First, choose a slightly lighter blush shade. Dip a brush lightly into the powder, then gently shake off any excess.
Step 2: Gently sweep it onto the outer ear, applying a bit more to the earlobe.
Step 3: Finally, use your fingertip to lightly blend the blush on the earlobe.
Step 4: Repeat the same process for the outer edge of the ear—gently brush on the blush, then blend it out with your fingertip.
Of course, choosing the right blush shade is crucial.
Girls with fair, delicate skin needn't worry. Those with darker or more olive-toned skin should be extra careful when selecting shades. For those with yellow undertones, warm-toned blushes make skin appear fairer. Darker skin tones are best suited to deeper shades close to their natural skin color—pale pinks can actually make darker skin look darker.
The "ear blush" effect naturally creates a bashful look, making girls appear more adorable in front of their crushes and hinting at those fluttering, secret feelings~ No wonder it's said to boost your "love luck"! With that in mind, all you beauties should definitely give it a try!
