Start with a luminous complexion and prep your skin with foundation, concealer and finishing powder.
Select a bright cream blush—keeping in mind that bold color can always be toned down with a touch of blending. (Tip: a vibrant shade is an instant complexion booster!)
Apply a few dabs of color to the apples of your cheeks and blend in a circular motion upward toward your temples. (Tip: down is drab! Keep your look youthful by concentrating color high on your cheekbones.)
To amp up intensity, apply multiple layers of cream until you reach your desired flush.
For longer lasting color, set your shade with a light sweep of powder blush in a matching hue.
To finish your look with a glistening touch, use an angled brush and dust highlighting powder along the uppermost rim of your cheekbones.

From rosy radiance to a glamorous glow, warm up winter with a fetching flush!
