STEP 1 Throw away the brush that comes in the compact; it's too stiff and small to create a natural look. Use a good blusher brush.

STEP 2 Grin into the mirror to see where the apple of your cheek appears.

STEP Dip your blusher brush into the powder, shake off the excess, and brush it lightly over the apple of the cheek, moving toward the ear, with short, up-and-down vertical movements.





STEP 4 Blend blusher in with one soft horizontal stroke on top of the vertical strokes, and blot a tissue on top to remove the excess, or cover lightly with powder.

STEP 5 If you're feeling particularly washed out, you can brush a light stroke of blusher across your forehead up by your hairline or just above the brows where the sun would hit your face. (But don't overdo it.)

Powder

Powder blusher is best applied after your face powder. It will lie on top of the skin, adding a translucent glow. Using a blusher brush, sweep it across your cheekbones. For a contour, use a deeper shade in the hollow of the cheek. But remember, you only want the sheerest hint of colour.

Cream

Cream blusher has the most intense pigment and should be used sparingly. Apply it over foundation, but before powder. Start at the apples of the cheek and blend upward.

liquid and gel

iquid and gel blushes will give you a stain of colour that will look very natural. Apply over foundation or to bare skin for a soft, fresh-scrubbed look.

Thanks for the tips, guys! When I dip my brush into the blusher I always tend to blow the brush before applying the powder.:)
