    You could try a DIY blush by mixing a small amount of a natural pigment like beetroot powder into a powder base. I've never tried to do this, so I'm not sure of the ratios.

    A powder blush is one that comes in a compact. It is made of pressed powder and works well with any type of foundation.

    You should apply blush to the apples of your cheeks—the part that sticks out when you smile. You may also apply it across the top of the cheekbone.

    Lightly go over your blush with the same beauty blender or brush that you used to apply your foundation or another cream product. That will remove some texture and make the blush look more natural.

    How do I apply Mac highlighter?
    Community Answer
    Use either a fan brush or a tapered fluffy brush. Swipe it in the pan in a circular motion and then swipe across the face, following the natural line of the cheekbone. Start at the temple and gently brush down your natural cheekbone. To highlight the forehead, simply use circular strokes on the skin. If you want a more intense highlight, spray some setting spray on the brush before applying. To highlight the bridge of the nose, cupid's bow, chin and eyebrows, it's usually best to just get in there with a finger and lightly dab or stroke the product onto your skin.

    How do I apply bronzer?
    Community Answer
    The purpose of bronzer is to bring out the warm tones of the face. Put the product on a total face brush and tap it on the lid of the palette to eliminate any excess product. Apply on the outside of your face, almost like contour, but broader.

    Choose a satin peach blush. Use a fluffy brush and tap it gently into the pan, then tap it on the rim of the compact to flake off excess product. Apply it to your cheeks on the apples and buff it into the skin. If you apply too much, take your powder brush and buff translucent powder on top.
