To apply blush or not to apply blush? If you like your face monochromatic you can stop here. Than your look would be all about the eyes. But a bit of blush takes you to another place, glowy, with a hint more shape. A little color in your cheeks brings faces color to life, and prevents it from looking too earthy. If you have dark skin, go for apricot shades, and if you're fair try a touch of pink. Apply in round movements over your cheeks for a fun, childish look or sweep over your cheekbones for a sexy, sophisticated glow.
