When applying blush, make sure your application gets started in the right place. Start blush under the pupil of the eye and blend back along the top of the cheekbones towards the top of the ear. This keeps blush in the most natural position.

When applying cream blush, the easiest way is to use two fingers to apply. This helps prevent streaking and it gives you more control as you’re applying the product.

A favorite photo trick in applying blush: Take a too bright shade in a powder blush and make it wearable. The great thing about bright colors is that they have more concentrated pigment in them, which makes them stay on longer. To tone the color and make it wearable, pick up some loose powder on your blush brush first. Then pick up your bright blush color with the same brush. This dilutes the color so you get a softer look, with longer wear.
