Powder blush is fairly easy to apply. The most important points are include (1) use the blush sparingly to create a fresh natural look, and (2) follow the structure of your cheek bones to make sure you apply it in the right place.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Blush brush
  • Foundation
  • Powder blush
  1. Step 1

    Wash your face.

  2. Step 2

    Apply your foundation make-up.

  3. Step 3

    Put the blush brush in the blush and tap off any excess.

  4. Step 4

    Start just below the apple of your cheek, then sweep the brush upwards and outwards along your cheek bone.

  5. Step 5

    Create a triangle on your face with the pointy end at your temple.

  6. Step 6

    Blend the blush into your foundation make-up so there are no lines or visible demarcation.

  7. Step 7

    Apply a bit more blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend upward.

Tips & Warnings
  • Use a brush to help you blend the blush into your foundation.
  • Always use small amounts of powder blush—it’s easier to add more than to try to take some off.
  • Always blend your blush well near your hairline.
  • To figure out what color of blush you should use, pinch your cheeks and match the color, or match to your lipstick.
