How to Properly Apply Powder Blush Quickly

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. Wash your face.

2. Apply your foundation make-up.

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

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

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

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

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.
