How to use it

Squeeze a pearl-sized dot onto the cheek and blend with a fingertip. Start at the top of the cheekbone, sweep down onto the cheek, then back up above the brow to make a C shape. Repeat to build color.

With a brush, work the Blooming Blush Brush into the product on the back of your hand, then press it onto the skin the same way.
