    Blush should go on the apples of your cheeks and may be brushed back lightly across the cheekbone. Use a large, soft brush and a light touch to apply the blush. Bronzer should go underneath the cheekbone and also along your brow and chin.

    You can add blush to contouring but you don't have to. It's a matter of personal preference. You may find it depends on your lip color whether you feel you want it or not.

    Bronzer is used to give the skin a sun-kissed glow and enhance natural bone structure. It can be used alone or in combination with blush and/or highlighter.

    Go with a pink shade of blush if you're also going to wear bronzer. Just make sure the pink you choose flatters your skin tone. Other colors may look muddy with the bronzer.

    If you have a medium or light skin tone, try a peach blush. If you have a dark skin tone, use a berry blush. You can get personalized input as to what would look best if you go to Sephora/Ulta and ask an employee.
