Makeup Techniques: Zoe Taylor, MUA Shares Face Lifting Methods with Blushers

Zoë Taylor's Lift-Blush Technique: A New Approach to Makeup

Makeup artist Zoë Taylor has shared a unique technique that aims to lift and brighten the face. The Lift-Blush technique, recently used by a German team, has been gaining attention for its ability to create a healthy, sun-kissed look.

In this article, we'll walk you through the steps Zoë Taylor used to create a lifted blush look and a glitter eye makeup look.

Step 1: Preparing the Base

Zoë began by applying a base to the face, preparing it for the makeup to come.

Step 2: Blusher Application

For a lifted blush look, Zoë recommends using a smaller brush for application and a bigger, fluffier brush for blending. She used Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Foschia Rosa for the demonstration. Sweeping blush over the apples of the cheeks and upwards towards the temples helps to create the illusion of extra lift. Zoë suggests adding more blush after a few minutes for more intensity and freshness.

Step 3: Defining the Eyes

Zoë used Elizabeth Arden High Drama Eyeliner in Espresso to define the eyes. She suggests tapping excess blush off the brush before applying it to the eyes to prevent product from dropping onto the apples of the cheeks.

Step 4: Adding Glitter

In Step 4, Zoë recommends using a cream blusher along the cheekbones and over the eyes for added pigment and sheen. By applying blusher around the eye area, Zoë creates a slightly monochromatic look that amplifies the lifting effect.

Step 5: Eye Makeup

Zoë used Chanel Le Volume de Chanel Mascara for coating the eyelashes. To add a touch of glitter, she used a glitter eye makeup product, although the specific product was not mentioned.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

Zoë used Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer for adding warmth and definition to the face. She also used Chanel Baume Essentiel for adding a slight sheen to the high part of the face and Byredo Liquid Lipstick Vinyl in Fantome 301 to create an inverted triangle of light.

Zoë Taylor's Lift-Blush technique is a fresh approach to makeup that can help you achieve a healthy, sun-kissed look. By applying blusher higher up the face and using a similar colour on the eyes, you can open up your eyes and create a lifted, brightened appearance.
