She uses her index and middle fingers in a peace sign and places them diagonally away from the bottom of her nose. Then, she applies blusher in between her fingers. “When you realise blush can completely change your face shape,” she penned. The two fingers act as a guide to keep the blush application away from the center of your face, which is what produces the “baby face” look.

And by guiding your blush exclusively over your cheekbone towards your temple, you ensure a more lifted and structured look. The hack works so well because it optimises placement and blending, which are crucial for achieving a sculpted look. It also helps avoid applying the blush too low, which can drag the face down.
What’s more, blush applied this way overlaps slightly with areas where you might to contour or apply bronzer, subtly blending the two. This creates a seamless gradient of colour, enhancing the natural shadows and highlights of your face. Sierra sharing the hack struck a chord with hundreds of women.
