Apply cream blushes with sponges or fingertips. For powder blushes, use a professional blush brush, which is soft and rounded. Brushes that come with blushes seldom blend as well, they are usually to small and squared shaped, which is how you get those war paint stripes. In a pinch, powder blushes may be applied with a cotton ball.
To apply either cream or powder blushes: smile and place color at the apple of your cheeks, using a circular motion. Blending upward and outward until there are no lines to indicate where blush begins or ends.
Blush is a matter of balance. There should never be a concentration of color anywhere. The objective is to achieve a gentle overall glow.
Too much color? no problem. Dust on a layer of loose or pressed powder to take off the edge.
Be careful not to get blush in your hair ( blondes often have this problem). Before applying blush, dust sides of hair with loose powder and brush away when finished.
If you're feeling pale, add a touch of blush to temples, forehead and chin. Once again, blend into nothingness.
