Beginner Tips: Blush Application

HOW TO APPLY BLUSH
Many people smile and apply their blush to the apples of their cheeks
and then work it up the cheekbone.
However,
I have found that several makeup artists are against this method 
because it can actually make you look older than you really are.

When you apply blush to your cheekbones and then stop smiling... 
the blush actually lowers down to about the same level as your lips...
which tends to look very dated and weird.

Instead of applying blush to the apples of your cheeks, 
apply it to your cheek bone
and stop at about the pupil of your eye!
This will accentuate the cheekbone and create more definition to your face!

I am a huge cream blush fan.
I definitely recommend using peach toned blushes
as they are flattering to most skin tones
