Transcript excerpt
People think that I apply my blush very weirdly, but I learned this from professional makeup artists. I'll put the blush on the top of my hand because you're supposed to warm up the product. Then you get your brush, really brush it in. And then I don't wipe. I just dab. This is Merit's Flush Balm in the color cheeky. It is so beautiful.
