"For her blush, I'm going to use, I want her to have a rosy glow, so I'm going to use a pink, a light pink and a sheer pink. But, I want her to have that kind of pinched cheek rosy glow.

And because we're using such a bright teal color on the eyes, we really want to use something neutral on the cheeks, but something in the cool family. So, a light pink is perfect. So, I'm using a nice, big brush, and I'm going to go right on to the cheek bone. So, I'm just going to dab or buff this color in to the cheeks. And I want to give her a nice cheek bone. And I want it to look rosy and glowing, but not with too much color. So, I'm using a really sheer pink. And just add a little bit at a time, until you get your desired look. I'm sticking basically to the apples of the cheeks and the cheek bone, just right in that area. And just make sure it's even on both sides. And just add, keep adding until you get your desired look. Put a little bit on the nose too, just to give a little rosy color to the nose. Just where your, where you would naturally get a flush in your face. If you were embarrassed or if you went for a jog, if you got a little overheated. "
