First, you need the right kind of brush for blush.


Secondly, you need the right blush that suits your skintone (I use NARS blush in Orgasm, great for pale skintones).





~NOTE:





I always apply my concealer/foundation first. ~





Now, what I usally do to figure out where the blush goes I make a relaxed fishy face to find the ';indents'; (What I like to call them, haha) of my cheekbone.

Apply the blush to ';indents'; of your cheekbones. Remember, a little goes a long way and it's suppsed to look natural. :) Good luck.How do you apply blusher to make it look natural?
apply blusher on your brush and ger rid of the extra blush powder by shaking your brush a little or brush it once on a piece of tissue...


Then LIGHTLY apply it on your cheeks (the highest point on your face when you smile). do a few (one or two really) circles.. and afterwards you can wipe a little off with tissue if colour is too strong...


Actually using cream blush is really nice as well. I believe Maybeline's got a mousse blush, or Bobbi-brown'd work..
You want to put just a tiny bit on and make sure you spread it evenly all over the cheek and cheek bone. Also stroke back towards your ear and hair line. You want to apply just a thin layer or else it will be too dark. Make sure you keep stroking the brush until it's less noticeable to the way you like it. The more strokes the lighter it will look. Rub it in basically to the lightness or darkness you want. To get dark apply more powder. Usually all i do is dip the brush in once and spread it back over my cheek a few quick strokes and WHA LA! GOOD LUCK!
If you want it to look natural, smile and put it on the ';apples'; of your cheek, pretty much just the part of your cheeks that stick out when you smile.





If you want it to look more dramatic put it along your cheek bone (just feel to find it) and blend a lot.





You may not be using the right blush, try a lighter color with more pink/orange tones.
The best way to apply it is to smile and apply it on the apples of your cheeks, meaning the part that turns upward when you smile. Dot it onto each cheek lightly, then blend it out with a brush. It should be in the right place on your face and also look very natural. :)
make an L with your right hand, then put it on the left side of your face with your thumb on your nose and your pointer finger touching the center of your ear that space that the L made is were you put on the blush and as for color, squeeze your pointer finger really tight for 5 seconds and the color that your finger turns should match your blush---
you put it on your cheek bone and over your eye so that it looks like you have a natural sun tan but after puting it on your cheeks use whats left on the brush for your eyes
well u really should look for a colour that goes with ur skin tone
