Karen Robinovitz, creator of the double duty cosmetics brand Purple Lab, showed our friends at StyleCaster how to use blush to make up your entire face.

Use a cream blush, as it lasts longer on the skin and doesn't settle into fine lines and wrinkles the way powder blushes do. Use the pad of your finger and gently smooth the blush in a circular motion at the apple of the cheeks.

Continue applying the blush with your finger until it is blended to perfection. You want to keep it at the apple of your cheeks and make sure to not apply below the laugh lines.

Use the pad of your finger and blend across the eyelid from the lash line to the crease to add a subtle glow and pop of color to the lid and brighten up your eyes.
