Jane Iredale Blush and Bronzer Application

Blush

A little goes a long way! Use the White Fan brush or the Dome Brush so that you can see how much you've picked up and because the brush's contoured bristles will help to blend. Knock off any excess. The perfect blush shade is the colour of the cheek when flushed or exercising.

Use two colours for a subtle, sophisticated look. For example, apply Bronzer underneath the outer part of the cheekbone. Rock your brush so most of the colour is deposited there and then brush up onto the cheekbone. User a brighter colour such as Tawny on the apple of the cheek (the fleshy part that protrudes when you smile) and brush outwards and down away from the top of the cheekbone. If you think you've applied too much colour, use the brush you used to apply the base shade and blend with that. In an emergency, use the flocked sponge. This will remove some of the colour.

Always check blush when you've finished the makeover. What looked as though it was enough when you applied it may not look the same way when eyes and lips are finished.

Narrow Face: Keep blush towards the outside of the face. This will give the illusion of widening it.

Full Face: Bring the colour into the middle of the face but no farther forward than the middle of the iris. This will give the illusion of narrowing.

Tip: Do harmonize blush and lip colour. It gives a lovely natural, pulled-together look.
