STEP 7: Place powder blush on the apple of your cheek and gently brush up your
cheekbone toward your hairline. Dot cream blush beginning at the apple, and
gently blend up the cheekbone toward the hairline.

• STEP 8: Focus your blush at the outside of your face near your hairline if you
have a fuller face. For high cheekbones, concentrate blush in the center of your
face to accentuate your bones.
• STEP 9: Blend a little blush down your cheek for a little more natural, less
dramatic look.

Tips & Warnings

• For rosier cheeks, consider gel or liquid tints. Wash your hands after use, as these
products may stain the hands.
• Remember that the lighter your skin tone, the lighter your blush color should be.
• Wash brushes regularly with a makeup remover or nonsoap cleanser.
• Avoid following the underside of your cheekbones, which makes for an artificial
and unbecoming look.
