Blush Placement is a placement technique, not a product — the same shades applied in different zones produce completely different results depending on face shape. On a triangle face, also called a pear shape, a triangle face is narrow through the forehead and temples and widens progressively down through the cheekbones to a broad jawline — the inverse of a heart shape. the jaw is typically the single widest measurement on the face.

Technique

Technique: Color applied to the apples of the cheeks and blended toward a specific point (temple, ear, or cheekbone) depending on whether the goal is lifting, widening, or lengthening the face.

The Goal on This Shape

The goal on this shape: Direct the eye along a specific line to counteract the face's natural proportions For a triangle face specifically, that means working with the fact that the narrowest of the three width points at the top and the face's widest point, often strong or square at the bottom — blush placement is one of the few tools that can adjust that relationship without any permanent change.

Where to Apply It

Where to apply it: Add width and volume at the forehead and temples while keeping the jaw area closer to the head, which brings the upper and lower face into better visual balance without hiding the jawline entirely. Concentrate the technique on whichever measurement is currently working against that goal, and use a light hand — placement makes the difference here, not product quantity.
