Step 1: Using a large powder brush, set your makeup with a loose powder close to your skin tone.
Step 2: Apply pink blush to the cheekbones as a base to enhance a healthy glow.
Step 3: Dip your finger into cream blush and dab it along the cheekbone and outer eye contour. Blend with your fingertip for an even, translucent finish.
