How to Apply Powder Blush

Knowing how to apply powder blush properly is a simple way to make your cheeks rosy. Mastering the perfect strokes, along with blending, are key application skills.

    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 :-)
