"Now that the foundation is on and your skin is nice and even, we're going to use bronzer and blush. If you find a bronzer that you love that has enough color to use as a blush, you can just use a bronzer or blush as one. I'm going to use 2 different ones. My bronzer is very, very natural. It has a little bit of an iridescence to it and I'm going to use a big brush. I'm just going to kind of put it on her face where the sun will naturally hit her. That's the bridge of the nose, the cheekbones, the forehead, and the chin. Every so lightly kind of buff that bronzer into her face. You can take bronzer also down the neck a little bit or the chest to even out everything out if you have a low shirt on. Give a little bit of a healthy glow like she was in the sun shine for a few minutes. Not to make her look tan, but just to give a glow. Then I'm going to take a natural blush. It's kind of like a neutral brown. It has a bit of a pink tone to it, but just a tiny bit. You don't want rosy cheeks. We want natural, natural look. I'm just going to put this on her cheekbones and just kind of stipple it in with the brush right onto the cheekbones just to give a really, really natural slight color. Make her look like she has cheekbones. This is the apple of the cheek. You kind of want to start there and just go out. The blush should just be right there on the 2 cheekbones. Maybe a little bit on the bridge of the nose if you want to give a little color there. That's about it. There's the blush."
