Hi, my name's Jennifer Chavez, and I'm a makeup artist. And today, we're going to talk about how to wear cream blush for fair skin. The first thing that you're going to need are your fingertips, and the second thing that you're going to need is your cream blush. Now, the first step is, you're going to take your blush, and apply a little bit of product to your fingertips. So, you're just going to put a little bit of product onto your fingertips. So, the second step is going to be to apply the cream blush from your fingertips onto the apples of your cheeks. Now, to find the apples of your cheeks is just to give yourself a big smile in the mirror, and when you smile, you're going to see that this part right here that sticks out a little bit, that's going to be the apple of the cheek. So, we're just going to lightly apply, dab, dab, dab, onto the apple of the cheek, and get that product evenly distributed. And, the thing that I like about this product is that it's a buildable coverage, and also, it doesn't look like you're wearing a ton of makeup. It gives you that really nice, natural, flush look. So, we've got the product applied to the cheek, and it looks a little bit like clown makeup at the moment, but the next step is going to fix all that. So, the next step is going to be to blend out that cream blush onto the face to make it look really natural. Alright, so we're going to take our fingertips, and gently just blend this out. And, using your fingertips to put on makeup is actually a lot of fun. We're just blending out to make it look natural, and give yourself that really nice, flush look. Blush is one of my favorite products. It really brings so much life to the face. I think it is one of those things you should wear everyday. Alright, and that is exactly how you apply cream blush to the skin. It's very easy, and it's a real pretty, natural look.
