"The next thing we are going to do is we are going to add a little pop of color to her cheeks. We are going to use this really pale peachy blush that has a little bit of shimmer, a little bit of sheen. So it is going to blend in really well with the beachy glow that we have given her already. So I am going to use my angled blush brush which makes it really easy to contour the cheek bone. So I am going to take a little bit. Ask her to smile for me. I am going to concentrate most of my pop of color right on the apples of her cheek and just lightly sweep it up the cheek bone. Whenever you apply your blush, you want to make sure that you hit the apple of the cheek with most of the color. That is where you naturally flush and that is also to the right of the front of your face. That is where you want to be able to see most of that color. So, again, if she will smile for me. We are going to focus it right on the apple of the cheek and just lightly up the cheek bone. You can see that just gives her a little bit more dimension. It gives her a really nice pretty pale pop of peachy color. A little bit of shine. So it looks really nice and natural and enhances the bronzy look that we have given her with the highlighter and foundation mixer, as well as, the bronzer. So that is how you would want to apply your brush."
