Rhode’s Pocket Blush is one of the easiest cream blushes to get wrong if you’ve only used powder before \u2014 and one of the easiest to get right once you know the technique. Here’s a simple step-by-step for a natural, “just-pinched” flush.<\/p>\n

Before You Start: Order Matters<\/h2>\n

Cream blush goes after<\/strong> foundation\/concealer and before<\/strong> any setting powder. Applying it to bare skin or after powder is the single biggest reason cream blush looks patchy or doesn’t blend.<\/p>\n

Step-by-Step<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Smile first.<\/strong> This naturally raises the apples of your cheeks so you can see exactly where color should go.<\/li>\n
  2. Dot, don’t swipe.<\/strong> Use the stick to place 2\u20133 small dots on each cheek, centered on the apple. Don’t drag the stick across the skin.<\/li>\n
  3. Blend with fingertips in small circles.<\/strong> Body heat from your fingers helps the cream formula melt into skin for a seamless, veil-like finish. A damp sponge works too if you prefer.<\/li>\n
  4. Blend outward and upward<\/strong>, toward the temples, fading the edges so there’s no hard line where the color stops.<\/li>\n
  5. Build gradually.<\/strong> Start with less than you think you need \u2014 you can always add another dot, but it’s harder to tone down an overapplied cream blush.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For an Even More Diffused Finish<\/h2>\n

    If fingertips give too much precision for your taste, Pocket Brush<\/a>‘s round end is built specifically to diffuse cream blush for a softer, airbrushed look.<\/p>\n
