How to add some color to your complexion with cheek blush using cream/gel blush, powder blush and bronzer!
Since you want a healthy flush, it’s best to apply blush only to apples of your cheeks.
Blush can be your beauty secret weapon for healthy, natural color.However, blush tends to overused as well.
Look into the mirror and smile. This helps you figure out where the ‘apple’ of your cheek is to apply blush. Put the blush on your brush, tapping off any excess or put a dab of gel on your fingers. Keep color light & blended.

Cream blush is great for mature skin. It blends easily & therefore looks very natural. For gel or cream blush, dab a dot on the apple of the cheek and two smaller dots up the cheekbone, then blend the dots together.

How to choose the color. Find a color that matches your cheeks when they’re flushed after exercise or being out in the cold. Another trick is to match your lip color. Fair skin looks great in rose, olive in peach & dark skin in apricot or even red. Dusky pink blush will warm up any tired-looking skin.
Those with darker skin tones should try a caramel-color bronzer (not orange) paired with a yellow-based blush

How To Get Tan Look Using Bronzer

Many people think bronzing and contouring are the same! While contouring can give you a certain ‘glow’ its not nearly the same as looking tanned. For tanned look you can use a bronzer with shimmer or just matte.
Use a big brush to make sure it doesn’t look like a stripe on your forehead, chin and nose.
