MANILA, Philippines?We?ve all awoken to sallow, sickly complexion one time or another. It?s a depressing sight to see our skin looking so lifeless and dull. A quick fix-me-up always gets me through the day though, and it?s the blusher. It transforms skin from lackluster to glowing, giving a flushed, healthy color that makes me look and feel 10 times better. Color and texture vary depending on a person?s skin tone and type but the application is practically effortless, especially with these three easy steps.

Step One: Apply foundation

For an even skin tone and to avoid those blotchy blush spots, it is best to apply a light, sheer foundation first. Without this, the blusher may draw attention to any discoloration or blemish that you definitely want to hide.

Step Two: Work in cream blush

Using your fingers, spread the cream blush by dabbing it on the apples of your cheeks and blend, blend, blend!

Step Three: Set with powder

To make sure the blush stays put, lightly dust loose translucent powder on your cheeks and face. And to ensure a long-lasting glow, add a layer of powder blush in the same color as the cream blush.
