BLUSH, BLUSH, BLUSH

So most people dont knw how to apply their blush bt i hope this helps..........
Ahhhh blush. Many women avoid blush but it can be your beauty secret weapon. For healthy, natural color, nothing beats blush. However, blush tends to be overused as well. To avoid looking like a clown, try these steps to choosing blush and applying it.
Here's how:
  1. First choose the color using nature as your guide. According to InStyle, the trick is to find a color that matches your cheeks when they're flushed after exercise or being out in the cold. For a quick test, "spank" your cheeks and use the resulting color as a guide. Another trick is to match your lip color. Fair skin looks great in rose, olive in peach & dark skin in apricot or even red.
  2. Now that you have the color, choose the right formula for your skin type. Powder is typically best for oily and combo skin. Cream is great for dry skin. Liquid and gel are great for oily skin. For even better results, combine cream and powder together. Keep in mind stains -- great for well-moisturized skin, not dry skin -- tend to dry very fast so blend well and fast.
  3. Apply foundation, eye color &and lipstick. While blush is usually your second-to-last makeup step (before powder), you should experiment with what works best for you. I like to apply my blush second to last or last.
  4. When applying ur blush use a different brush other than ur powder brush, its nt advisable to use the same brush.
  5. Put the blush on your brush, tapping off any excess or put a dab of gel on your fingers.
  6. Look into the mirror and smile. This helps you figure out where the "apple" of your cheek is.
  7. Since you want a healthy flush, it's best to apply blush only to apples of your cheeks. Keep color light and blended. If you're using gel or cream, i suggest dabbing it on with your middle finger, then blend with your ring and middle finger. The clean finger will pick up any excess blush.
  8. If you've gone a bit too heavy on the powder blush, a bit of translucent powder over it will calm it down. For cream blush, blot the color off with a tissue.
  9. Finish your look with a sweep of translucent powder.
