How to Apply Blush Perfectly

You want high cheek bones and a little color to your face, but you don’t want your make up to look like a clown. With a little practice and this simple technique for applying blush you will have the perfect glow in no time.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Blush
• Blush brush
• Mirror

1. Select a blush that suits your purpose. Select a pink or peach shade of blush if you are using makeup to add color. Select a light shade of brown if you want to highlight your cheek bones.
2. Apply blush to your blush brush and tap off any excess.
3. Locate the top of your cheek bone with your finger. You will feel a bone about half way between the corner of your eye and the center of your ear.
4. Place the blush brush on the top of your cheek bone; pull the brush down and under your eye, following the curve of your cheek bone. This should be the shape of a comma lying down.
5. Disperse the blush from this line you just made down your cheek. Do not add more makeup for this step; just use the blush that has already been applied.
6. Repeat on the other cheek.
7. Even out your cheeks and add more makeup as desired using the technique above.
8. Brush a little color along your nose, your chin and your hairline using the remaining makeup on your brush. This creates a sun kissed look.

Tips & Warnings

• Practice this makeup technique a few times before applying blush in a rush.
• Try different colors to find one that you like. Often you can get samples from Mary Kay consultants and establishments at the mall.
