Once you have evened out your complexion in steps two
and three, you are ready to add some color. Choose a
powder blush (rather than liquid or cream), which works
best over foundation and loose powder.

Select a shade to complement your skin tone: subtle rose for light skin, rose/subtle plum for medium skin, or deep rose/plum/bronze for dark skin. Fluff a clean brush into blush and then lightly over the apples of your cheeks and cheekbones. Blend any excess with a cotton ball or tissue for a natural look. A local beauty professional or cosmetologist at a LGFB group program can also help you select contour shades to offset facial puffiness or gauntness.

Since blush brushes aren’t disposable, be sure to wash yours regularly in shampoo (not antibacterial soap or alcohol, which can cause damage) and air-dry overnight to prevent bacteria.
