Applying Blush for Day Makeup

Video Transcript

"So, next thing you're going to do now that we've evened out her skin tone and gave her the appropriate coverage with the concealer and foundation, is we're going to use a really soft, pale, peachy blush to give her a nice, natural pop of color on her cheeks. I'm going to use a contoured brush, which has more of an angle to it, so it makes it really easy to get in their and contour the cheek bone. So, I'm just going to take a little bit of this and have her smile for me; you see the apple of the cheek, which is the area right there that you get when you smile, that's where you want to concentrate most of your color and then you can sweep it really lightly up the cheek bone. But most of your color should be concentrated right to the apple of the cheek because that's where you would naturally flush anyway; when you naturally flush, you get that nice little pop of color right there on the apple of the cheek. You don't necessarily flush all the way up into your hairline, so, just concentrate most of the color right there on the apple (turn and face me a little bit.). So, again we're concentrating most of the color to the apple of the cheek and just lightly going up the cheek bone. When you have an angled brush like this, it just makes it really easy to just to kind of glide right up that cheek bone, so you can get a nice, natural contour. You can see just doing it that way gives her a just a natural look of color; just looks like she was naturally maybe out for a run or did a little bit of exercise, so she has a just a nice, natural color right on the apples of the cheek, it's not to heavy, it's not to dark and this is what you would want for a really nice, natural daytime look. So that's how you would want to apply some blush in a peachy tone for a natural daytime look."
