"I'm Kelli. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you some tips and techniques that you can use to create a silver and gold holiday look. Now we're going to give her cheeks a little subtle pop of color by using a blush. We're just going to use a really natural shade of blush. It has a little bit of luminescence to it, so we're going to use our angled cheek brush. Just take a little bit. We're going to concentrate most of the color on the apples of her cheeks. If you'll smile for me. The apples of your cheeks are the round area there where you smile. We're just going to blend it softly up her cheek bone to give them a little bit of definition. We want to concentrate most of the color right on the apples. If you're confused about where to start your blush application, about 2 fingers away from the nose is a good rule of thumb that you can follow. You just want to make sure that you have even color on each side of the face. That just gives a really nice subtle , natural pop of color right there on the apples of the cheeks. That's who you will want to go about applying your blush."
