If you’ve never heard on this makeup trend before, dont worry too much, chances are you’ve probably seen it online, social media or even in a magazine and didn’t even realize.  Draping is like ‘blush on steroids’ it is a new contouring technique that can be achieved by using blush or pigment to sculpt your face from cheekbone to temple.

The trend is also known as blush draping or blush bomb and can be achieved by blending two shades and using a brush to sweep the colors below the cheeks. The color can go from the tip of the chin to the cheeks over the temple and over the eyes in a half moon sort of shape. However, you can decide how little or how much color you want on the face;
