Mastering Face Contouring with Makeup Artist Zoë Taylor: A Guide to Highlighting and Defining Features Using Blush

In the world of beauty and makeup, there's always a new trend to try and a technique to master. One such trend that's been making waves recently is the lifted blush look. This fresh and youthful style has been popularised by makeup artist Zoë Taylor, known for her softened, "blurred" blush looks for celebrities like Chloe Bailey and Saweetie.

To create this look, Zoë recommends starting with a blush that complements your skin tone. For paler complexions, a cooler and paler pink blush like Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Foschia Rosa works well. For olive or darker skin tones, a blush with more orange in it might be a better match. Zoë suggests choosing a blush that makes you look a bit sunburnt for the best effect.

Once you've chosen your blush, Zoë recommends using a smaller brush for more control over placement and a bigger, fluffier brush to blend the product upwards. Apply the blush on the high parts of the cheeks, along the cheekbones and up towards the temples to create the illusion of lift. Sweeping blush over the bridge of the nose also adds to the healthy skin look.

For added definition and warmth, Zoë uses Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer. She advises using eyeliner, such as Elizabeth Arden High Drama Eyeliner, and mascara, like Chanel Le Volume de Chanel Mascara, to define the eyes. To further enhance the lifting effect, Zoë suggests adding a bit of eyeliner on the outer corners and blending it upwards.

To complete the look, Zoë recommends applying a clear gloss on the lips. This creates an inverted triangle of light, adding to the illusion of lift and upward motion on the face. For a final bit of colour, Zoë suggests using a cream blusher over the powder blusher along the cheekbones and over the eyes.

In addition to the lifted blush look, Zoë Taylor recently created a fabulous glitter eye makeup look. Applying blush around the eye area and creating a slightly monochromatic look will amplify the lifting effect. Zoë also suggests going back and adding more blush after a few minutes for a more intense and fresh look.

For those who want to experiment with the lifted blush look, Zoë Taylor's tips and tricks are a great place to start. With the right products and techniques, you too can achieve this fresh and youthful look.
