Start with a cream blush and when you’re finished setting makeup apply a powder blush over top. This will help it last all day!

Blush Fix: Dip a powder brush in loose translucent powder and spin in circular motions over cheeks where too much blush has been applied. 

How To Contour from makeup artist Amy Nadine.

TOOLS:

Foundation

Sponge or Foundation Brush

Bronzing Powder or Cream Bronzer

Flat-headed Bronzing Brush

1.     Apply foundation all over face and neck with a sponge, foundation brush or fingers.

2.     Look in the mirror and suck in your cheeks.  This will instantly show you exactly where your cheekbones are.  Sweep bronzing powder/cream bronzer with a flat-headed bronzer brush just slightly under cheekbones from the hollows to your ear.

3.     Sweep bronzer in circular motions directly on temples.

4.     Contour along the hairline.

5.     Contour directly underneath your jawline.

6.     Blend edges with a sponge.

Match your lips and cheeks!  How?  Use your lipstick as a cream blush.  Put a little lipstick on the end of your ring finger and tap onto the apple of your cheeks and blend.

Do this before or after you’ve put on your foundation.  Don’t do this technique if you’ve already powdered or bronzed your face.
