- Use a tinted moisturizer or light coverage foundation to even out your tone, without masking your natural complexion.
b) Choose the right blush format
- Cream blush blends seamlessly and gives a dewy finish…perfect for a natural glow.
- Powder blush provides more pigment and is easier to layer if you prefer buildable color.

You’ll find that finger warmth helps create a smoother, softer finish.
d) Less is more
- Start small, one light dab on each cheek.
- Build up if needed, but going light first keeps the look natural and avoids harsh lines.
