Most people know what blush is, but some stay away because they don't want to end up looking like a clown. Well I'm going to tell you some tips and tricks to help you learn to use blush the RIGHT way.
Rule #1: If you're new to blush, stay away from any bright colors: hot pink, red, orange, etc. You don't want to end up looking like a clown. I recommend light pinks and peaches.
Rule #2: Don't get too much blush on the brush. You can always add more, but it's hard to take away blush once it's on your face.
Rule #3: I recommend using a small, fluffy brush when putting on blush, that way you can put it exactly where you want it.

Rule #4: Apply blush on the apples of your cheeks and blend outward.
Rule #5: Always have a clean brush nearby to blend out the blush.
Tip Alert!!! If you use too much blush, you can apply foundation over it to cover up the blush, but don't do that more than once or else it will get cakey.
My Favorite Blushes for Beginners:
