Let's talk about blush baby!
A blush is a great way to add a subtle extra to your look. By applying blush in a good way, you can look a little fresher or more sparkling. It can give that extra touch to your look! Of course, it is very important that you apply the blush in the right way.
What types of blush are there?
It is smart to first see what kind of blush you can use best. Blushes come in different types. For example, you have blush in powder form and in cream form.
It is then important to first look at what skin type you have. If you have normal or oily skin, then it is good to go for a powder blush. 
If you have dry skin, a cream blush can be very nice. You can blend this nicely into your skin. 
Also consider your skin undertone when choosing your blush. For cool skin, pink and red shades with a cool/blue undertone are very suitable. For warmer skin, golden and peachy colors will look very nice!
How do you apply the blush?
Choose a good blush brush to apply your blush! The thicker the brush, the more blush is on it. Don't forget to tap your brush before applying the blush. 
What is your face shape? This is important to see how to apply your blush best:
Full/round face shape
Apply the blush to the outside of your apples and sweep towards the top of your ear. A good guideline to follow is between the contour and the highlighter.
Angular face shape
Start here on the apples of the cheeks. Again, sweep towards the top of the ear. This time, pull the blush a little less far.
Long/thin face shape
Start on the apples of your cheeks. You want to accentuate these the most. You start with a circular motion on the apples and then sweep in a straight line towards the middle of your ear.
For all three face shapes: try not to put too much blush on your makeup brush and apply the blush loosely. You can always build up your color.
