How to Apply Powder Blush

Knowing how to apply powder blush properly is a simple way to make your cheeks rosy. Whether you want a bronzed look or a pink pick-me-up, using color on your cheeks balances out your makeup look.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Powder blush
• Blush brush
• Mirror

1. Swirl your makeup brush into your powder blush until some color is clinging to the brush.

2. Tap excess powder blush back into its container. You only need a light application of blush.

3. Sweep the makeup brush over the apples of your cheeks. This is the fattest part of your cheeks.

4. Blend the blush well, carrying the color up and almost to the edge of your face.

5. Check your look in a mirror to make sure blush looks natural and isn't too dark.

Tips & Warnings

• Powder blush should be applied on top of makeup powder.
• Powder blush works well for women with oily skin.
• Blush should look like a natural flush on your cheeks.

on 11/7/2008 I've never worn blush because I have no idea how to do it and the few times I tried I got that "crazy grandma" look...lol I always admire it on people who know what they're doing, so maybe it's time to give it another try :-)
