Expert Guide: How to Apply Cream or Gel Blush for Flawless Cheeks

Cream or gel blushes are ideal for smooth skin, while powder blushes suit uneven or blemished complexions.

1) Apply to clean skin or over foundation using your fingers, a foundation brush, or a makeup sponge.

2) Start with a small amount—you can always layer more for intensity.

3) Smile to locate your cheekbones, dot the product on the highs, then sweep toward your hairline and blend downward to soften edges.

4) Blend meticulously, keeping the brightest color at the top of your cheekbone for a natural lift.

Pro Tips: Fixing Common Blush Issues

Blush streaks? Likely due to unpowdered foundation or excess moisturizer beforehand.
Blush looks dull? Revive it by layering cream blush or balm on top.
