Someone once told me to suck in my cheeks and apply blush to the upper cheek. Is this true?
While blush doesn’t get the attention that foundation, mascara, or lipgloss does, don’t underestimate the huge impact it can have on your appearance. The key to pulling off that just-pinched, flushed-cheek look? Location, location, location.
According to CoverGirl makeup artist Molly Stern, “the goal is to look as natural as possible, and looking natural means applying color where you would normally blush – on the apples of your cheeks.” To create a rosy glow, follow these simple steps: First, smile. Then, using your fingers, lightly apply a cream blush to the apples of your cheeks – Stern likes CoverGirl & Olay Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush

– gradually blending the color into your skin with the sponge provided using circular motions. The creamy texture of the blush and the sponge make it even easier to achieve a natural look.
The advantage of this technique is that it allows you to slowly layer and build color until you find a shade you love (which, according to Stern, should always be bright). And using a cream blush can give you a more natural-looking finish than powder blush, since it blends flawlessly into skin.
Another cream blush bonus? It can moisturize your skin.
