This will give your cheeks a rosy hue that stands out beautifully against your dark complexion.For olive skin, choose a deep pink, berry color.

For medium skin, go for a lighter berry color.

If you have a round face, suck in your cheeks and make fish lips.
Apply the blush along your cheekbones, sweeping it out toward your temples.
If you have a long face, apply blush just below the apples of your cheeks (the plumpest part).
