"Now we're moving onto blush. The 80s inspired blush was definitely that stripe down the cheek. No blending what so ever. We're going to tweak that a little bit because you don't want to be that authentic. You basically want to take a brush. You can take actually a more smaller, more angled brush, and kind of swipe up the cheekbone. You don't want too much right here. You want to keep it toward the end of the cheekbone, but you also don't want it to look like too much of a stripe. You want to blend. Anything pink will work. Fuschia. I'm using kind of a more neutral pink. It just depends on your preference. You do want to kind swipe it up, but blend it. Make sure it doesn't look like too big of a stripe. At this point, if you wanted to use something with a little iridescence you could, but not too much. You really don't want to use something that's too glowy. Then add a little more and a little more as needed. Like I said, don't put too much on the apples of the cheeks. Start kind of right here and then go upwards. Add a little more as need be and just kind of blend so it's kind of like a stripe, but it's blended. There you go. That's the blush. "
