Beauty tip: Applying blush

I just wanted to share with you all the way I apply my blush. This doesn't mean this is the right or the wrong way of doing it, this is just how I do it and I think it works very well...

I know this is not the same makeup look I wear on the next photos but I do my blush the same way all the time... at least for now.

This is the stuff I use, feel free to use whatever you have on hand.

Smashbox Naked Beauty High Lights / Creamy Cheek Color

Estee Lauder Signature Blush

Bare Escentuals Angle Blush Brush

Sigma SS131 Duo Fibre Powder Brush

I dip my angle brush into the cream blush, just a little bit, you don't want too much product on your brush.

Making a "fake smile" apply the blush on your cheekbone, angling the brush the way the photo shows.

Repeat steps on the other cheek. 

I am not done yet!  This is just half the process.

Dip the other brush into the powder blush... again, not too much.

Do the "fake smile" again and apply the blush on your cheekbone.  Angle the brush again.

Do the other cheek

With a clean brush blend the edges, we don't want any harsh lines showing. 

Since I am using dark eye makeup I went with a softer blush, but you can apply more or less product depending on the look you are going for.

The reason why I apply both cream blush and powder blush is because by layering powder on top of cream blush it will make it last a lot longer on your skin.
