A perfect natural flush is all about location, location, location!

The real key to blush is matching it to your natural flush—and location, location, location! Select a blush based on the color your skin turns when you pinch your cheeks.


Apply your foundation and powder as usual.
Smile—see the apples of your cheeks? That's your target! Using your blush brush, apply in a circular motion to rounded cheeks. Blend up and outward toward temples until no hard lines are left.
Pro Tip: Add a little warmth with a light dusting of bronzer at the tops of cheekbones, where the sun would naturally hit your face.
