How to Apply Blush

Difficulty: Easy

Bring radiance and glow to your face with a little sweep of blush. The application is
quick and the results gratifying.

Instructions

• STEP 1: Select a color of blush that resembles the natural glow of your cheeks
after you exercise. Consider having a lighter color for day, and a darker tone for a
more dramatic evening look. Keep your blush in the same color family as your
lipstick.
• STEP 2: Consider the type of blush best suited to your skin type. Cream blush
works very well for drier skin, as it can help to keep skin hydrated. Powder blush
is better suited to oily skin.
• STEP 3: Complete the application of foundation, powder and all eye makeup
before applying blush.
• STEP 4: Use a full, round brush for the application of your powder blush, as it
will make for a softer and more professional look than the brush that comes with
the blush. This should not be the same brush you use to apply your loose powder.

•

STEP 5: Place a small amount of blush on the brush and gently tap off any
excess. Or, place a small amount of cream on your middle finger.
