How can corrector be used?

Question

Can blush be applied with a contouring brush?

Community Answer

Yes, but it should only be applied to the apples of the cheeks, so a fat, round-tipped brush is ideal for blush.

Question

Is one contouring ideal for all noses?

Reena Valecha

Community Answer

No, because all noses have different shapes and sizes. Follow the general guideline of using darkness to cut down mass and light to add mass or attention to your nose..

Question

Is there a substitute for blush?

Emily C

Community Answer

You can dab lipstick on your cheeks and blend it with your fingers, which is similar to applying cream blush. Just make sure to set it with some powder or a setting spray so that it lasts longer.
