We’ve all seen women walking around with doll-like circles of blush on their cheeks, or even worse, an obvious stripe of the product across their cheekbones. The main purpose of blush is to provide wearers with a natural-looking, healthy flush, and it’s important to get the application right in order to achieve that.

According to Glamour Magazine, you should pinch your cheeks to see exactly where they flush naturally. This can act as a guide that will clue you in to where to apply product.

Once you’ve figured that out, pick up a peachy pink cream blush like Paula Dorf – Cheek Color Cream. Use your fingers to blend it into the apples of your cheeks. The source recommends using the extra color on your fingertips to enhance your eyelids and the area underneath the tip of your nose to get a sun-kissed glow.

Finish up with a highlighter to provide a bit of dimension. Sweep it across your cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose, in the inner corners of your eyes and underneath your brow bone. Your look will be perfect.
