How to use it
With an angled blush brush, start at the temple and sweep down the top of the cheekbone, onto the cheek and back up above the brow in a C shape. For a glowing blush, blend it onto the cheeks.
Add it to any high point where you want a fresh glow: brow bone, bridge of the nose or cupid's bow. Blend with an up-and-inward motion for a lifted look, or sweep a little over the eyelids for a sheer wash of color.
For more intensity and luminosity, layer it over any of the Gen Nude Powder Blush shades.
