good luck ....How to apply blush ? so it would look natural.?
Ok......so for paler skin.....I got you the hookup! I'll give you tips for the ';natural'; look! It totally works!





Here goes:





Start always with a clean canvas. I recommend an aerosol foundation with a sponge. Aerosol foundations tend to be lighter and look a lot smoother for the ';airbrushed finish';. Sponges are a big key for even tones on skin. Using your fingers gives you an uneven tone and can give you ';zebra lines';. When using a sponge though, you want to spray the foundation onto the sponge, wipe onto skin to spread, and then blot until evenly dispersed. As far as mascara and eyeliner goes, the right color and the amount used are the two key things. Got darker skin? Go for blacks and very dark brown tones. Lighter skinned? Lighter-toned browns are usually best. When applying for the ';natural'; look, remember: A LITTLE BIT GOES A LONG WAY! Start at the part of the eye where the tear duct is located and work your way back, making a thin, but somewhat heavy line.....staying as close to the lashes as possible. I would recommend the top lids only, and use mascara on the upper and lower lashes. Once liner is applied, use a SMALL Q-tip or liner smudger and GENTLY smudge liner from tear duct to outer edge of lid. Remember: smudge OUT, not UP! Once smudged, apply mascara of SAME COLOR to both the upper and lower lashes. I recommend a mascara brush with fine bristles or a mascara comb. I also recommend finding a mascara that is as smooth as possible. The smoother your mascara, the less opportunity for clumps. Once you have this down, a very SMALL, LIGHT amount of bronzer may be added to the jaw line and T-zone (across the forehead and down the nose), both in one swipe. Too much bronzer will make you look like you have dirty skin. If desired, a very fine, LIGHT blush may also be applied to the apples of the cheeks (smile and the part that raises up are your apples) with a LARGE blush brush. Once you have this down, you pretty much are set with the ';natural'; look. Remember: LESS IS MORE!
First choose the color using nature as your guide. The trick is to find a color that matches your cheeks when they're flushed after exercise or being out in the cold. or for a quick test, 'pinch' your cheeks %26amp; use the resulting color as a guide. Another trick is to match your lip color. Fair skin looks great in rose colors.





Use a professional full brush not the freebies that come with the blush.


Put the blush on your brush, tapping off any excess. Look into the mirror and smile. This helps you figure out where the 'apple' of your cheek is.


Since you want a healthy, natural flush, it's best to apply blush only to apples of your cheeks. Keep color light %26amp; blended. If you've gone a bit too heavy on the powder blush, a bit of translucent powder over it will calm it down
A light pink or a peachy color is what you should use. What you should do is make a fish face (bite your cheeks from the inside) then apply blush to your blush brush, tap the excess blush off then brush upward on the top of your cheekbones (part of your cheek that stands out by your eyes) .

use a really light shade of pink, almost neutral. Apply is to the apples of your cheeks (when you smile the little circle of on your face) and with the brush swipe it gently across your face.
Follow Lalaland's answer but to get the right colour pinch your cheek and then have a look in the shops for a similar colour
flip through the magazines find a model or celeb that's your complexion and bring it to MAC and they will match you
