"I'm going to use a matte blush on her because we're going to get onto more shiny funky stuff so I don't want to make her skin to glowy and shiny just yet. I'm going to use a matte blush so it has no shimmer to it, but it's a nice rosy sheer pink so it's going to give a nice flushed look. It's a cool color just like the purples we're going to use on her eyes. It's just going to be natural and every thing's going to look blended. I'm using a nice big brush, you can use a smaller brush f you want, but since this color is so sheer I'm going to use a nice big brush so I can get it directly on her cheekbones. I'm just going to dip it in a little at a time and just add it to the apples of her cheeks. We don't want to stripe it to much up the face. We just want to add it a little bit to the apples of her cheeks just to get that natural glow. Kind of like she pinched her cheeks or she just went for a run and she's natural flush. That's the look we're going to go for. It's not to much of a blush look. This is more about the eyes, this look. Little by little you just want to add unto you get your desired look. She's kind of fair so I'm not going to put too much on, but I still want it to look like she has some blush on. Give her some cheekbones. Then you can add a little bit to the bridge and the nose just to even everything out. Then again it's all personal preference. Look how adorable that looks with that natural little cheek glow. It just accentuates how beautiful her skin it."
