One of my favorite way to apply blush is blending a foundation with a blush to get the desire color and a more natural appearance. Apply blush color below the checkbone. Blend the foundation with the same blush and apply on the apples of the cheeks.
I also like to blend blush with a bronzer or a light lumizer to get a soft luminous look. Don't forget to apply a small amount of highlighter or luminizer to the temples to finish the look.
If you have pale skin, try a very sheer bronzer. Bronzers should be only a shade or two darker than your skin. If the bronzer is too dark, you will look un-natural. You may even look dirty depending on your skintype.
I like to use mineral cosmetics because I can easily blend. However, not all of the techniques involve powders. I will incorporate liquids depending on skintype and individual needs. For everyday use, I love to use mineral cosmetics. For stage and camera friendly makeup, I like to use a combination of both liquid and minerals for a more dramatic look.
