"I'm going to use a really sheer pretty pink blush on her cheeks. And this blush is not glittery but it's iridescent. So it's going to give a glow and it's going to give that rosy cheek pink look with a glow as well. So it's really really pretty blush you use with anything in the cool family. A light pink with a glow kind of goes with anything in the pinks, the purples and the plums. It's a good everyday blush. It's not going to look too crazy or too dramatic. So it's going to go really nicely and just make her cheekbones stand out. So I am going to use a nice fluffy blush. Now you can use a smaller blush brush if you just want to condense it to the cheeks. But I am going to use a nice big brush because I want to kind of really put this on her cheeks. So I am going to go right onto the apples of her cheeks. Really buff it into the apples of her cheeks. I want her to have that rosy glow like she just ran a mile or she just blushed because someone embarrassed her. Just that cute little rosy cheek glow. This is a very cutesy cute look. Very angelic and so you want the cheeks to kind of match the look. And little by little you want to add just depending on how pink you want to go. Her skin is pretty olive so I can add a little bit more. If you are really pale you want to be careful. I'm also going to add a teeny bit of color just to the tip of the nose. And there we go. How adorable does that look? That's just like a perfect little pink glow. "
