How To: Apply Cream, Liquid and Powder Blush Makeup

Blush comes in different forms and each can be tricky to apply. Follow these steps on how to correctly apply cream, liquid, and powder blush so that you don't look like a clown.

Step 1 Powder Blush

Powder blush works for everyone. Use a medium-sized brush to control the amount of color and contour your cheeks. Hold the brush vertically to dab color on and build to your desired look.

Step 2 Cream Blush

Cream blush works best for dry or mature skin. Apply with your middle finger to the apple of your cheek and blend upwards and outwards. Use your ring finger to blend.

Step 3 Liquid Blush

Liquid blush works best for oilier skin. Use the back of your hand as your palette and apply like cream. Liquid blush dries very quickly, so work fast.
