Powder Blush Done Easy

Powder blush is pressed powder with color pigments. It's the easiest to apply of all blush makeup. This formula works for all skin types but it's the best choice for oily skin.

Applying color should be the 2nd last step in your makeup routine. Face powder is last. So make sure you've got your foundation, eye makeup and lips done.

Don't use the small free brush that comes with some brands. The bigger the brush, the more natural the application. It should be just smaller than your face powder brush. Try MAC no. 116.

To boost staying power, or give a little more depth to your cheek color, try dusting a bit of the powder type over a cream type.

Brands to try:

1.NARS Blush Cheek Color in Orgasm. I know that's a weird name but this blush received the Readers' Choice Award from Allure Magazine. So what right?

Well I agree with Allure's idea that "A beauty-product recommendation from a friend is perfectly nice. One from thousands of Allure readers, however, is priceless." This "is the rarest of products - one that works with every skin tone and shade. The very sheer peachy pink hue is universally flattering!"

2. Revlon A Floral Affair Sheer Blush

3. nvey - Organic Blush

4. For a contoured or sculpted cheek, try CoverGirl Instant Cheekbones Contouring Blush

5. Vincent Longo Day Play Duo Compact Blush The complementary colors -- lighter "day" and deeper "play" -- can be worn solo, blended together, or used for contouring.
