When I do put on blush, I noticed how people would compliment me on how natural my application is (yes, playing with baby powder does have its benefits). The key, as any make-up buff would know, is blending. And if you have a good brush, even better.

Here’s how to get that rosy glow:
1. Swipe your brush over the powder blush then gently tap off the excess. Always start with light applications, then you can add some more blush later on if it looks too sheer.
2. Lightly brush in an upward stroke starting from the apple of the cheek ’til right below the temple. (1)
3. Now gently brush in a downward stroke– some may be skeptical about this one, but trust me, it’ll look more blended- from the apple ’til two-thirds down the cheek. (2)
4. Then swipe your brush starting just off the edge of the nose, more or less an inch below the eye, and blend along the apple of the cheek ’til right below the temple. This will make the rosiness look even more natural, as if you’ve been sun-kissed. (3)
5. Repeat the 3 strokes if necessary.
6. Go out and have fun.
