foundation has darker spots and it gets all blotchy! Does anyone know a great "tan" blush to use that won't do this and stays smooth? I use an Almay powder blush right now. Will the "mouse" blushes smudge my foundation underneath? I'm clueless please help lol!

First, make sure you're sealing your foundation with a loose powder. I know nobody likes powder, but it will help keep your makeup in place, which I think may be the biggest part of your problem. If you don't want extra pigment on your face on top of your foundation, use a translucent powder.

Second, if you really want to use a blush, GET RID OF THE BRUSH THAT COMES WITH IT. Those itty bitty brushes that come with blush compacts are worthless - get rid of them. Instead, invest in a well-made blush brush. It will last you a VERY long time if you take care of it. It should be fluffy and full-bodied. Also, don't settle for a travel brush size, get one with a full handle.

The secret to applying blush is to not cake it on. Start with a very small amount, shake the excess off your brush, and move in a swirling motion when you apply. Remember, the pigments in blush intensify with your body heat, so they will become slightly more pronounced throughout the day.

Finally, if you're not happy with using blush, try a bronzer. They're much more foolproof than a blush and can actually be used year-round. When you apply a bronzer, just think of all the places where you would be sunkissed if you had just been outside tanning -- your "T" zone, all over your cheeks, and a little bit on your forehead, nose and chin.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

That's so weird, I have the exact some problem! My skin is very pale, and it's not perfect, but I do have a few blemishes here and there, with large pores on my nose. Foundation seems to make me look worse, even if I buy a good-quality brand. But if I don't wear foundation, I feel very uncomfortable. I hate it. So in your case, I think you should try spending a bit more money on your foundation and try some different kinds (liquid, spray, mousse, etc.) to see what you like best. Also, maybe try using a concealer instead and just cover up your blemishes instead of covering your entire face. Good luck!

Your problem is that you are putting on too much foundation and blusher. Start by mixing your foundation equal parts with either sterile water, or moisturizing lotion. That way, you will get a good coverage but not as much product. Then, when you are putting your blush on, dip the brush, then tap it on the side of the container, or wipe most off on a tissue. You don't need much to be effective. Just keep practicing until you get the effect you want.

First try blending you foundation with a sponge to get a more even coat. Then a light dusting of face powder - the loose one. Then try your blush.

Sometimes when your blush brush is dirty this will cause your blush to be blotchy. Use a mild shampoo and wash your brush and rinse well - see if any of these help.

Are you setting your foundation with a powder before applying the blush? Try that first then apply your blush. It all takes some playing and getting used to. Don't get discouraged. Best of luck.

Foundation is extremely bad for your skin - it clogs the pores. Just use a moisturizer and you won't have any problems with your blush.

You should try using a bronzer! It gives you a natural glow instead of the fake look that some blushes give!

its ok to blush, kinda sexy even

make the foundation at least down past the frost line so the building won't move too much, however much you do it.

okay the reason your blush clumps with your foundation is because you put your blush on right after fundation so put on fundation LET IT DRY then put on blush
