The best way to get a really nice blush is to get two colors. The first color should only be slightly pinker than your natural skin tone. Apply a light swipe on your cheek bones, using a brush with big bristles. Your cheek bones on the ones that raise up when you smile.
Next, apply the second shade only to the apples of your cheekbones, the end of that smile. The second color should be the color of your skin when it's flushed, nothing too red, but kind of coral or a darker pink. Remember one thing: keep a light hand!! Rubbing too much of two colors will make you look childish or stuck in the 70s.

Don't use the dinky little brush in the compact. Keep it as a touch up brush when you go out.
Use a soft, good quality blush brush (MAC, Nars, Bobbi Brown, Lorac, Bare Escentuals, Shu Uemura all have good ones).
Make sure your cheeks are lightly dusted with pressed powder first, so the powder blush has something to catch onto and won't streak and it goes on smoothly.
Then lightly put the brush into the blush compact, tapping off the excess, and smile. Swirl the blush onto your cheeks.
It's easier to add then take away.
Cover Girl Cheekers pick up a lot, and the colour is dense, so use the lightest colour for your skin tone, and add more if it's too light.

Apply to the apple of your cheekbones in a circular motion. DO NOT use the old school method of a straight line against the cheekbone! Less is more when it comes to blush. If you ever need blush and don't have it handy, simply pinch your cheeks for 10 seconds for a natural flush.

Smile really big in the mirror. The part that gets raised or kinda sticks out when you smile big, dab a little of the blush on there, then rub in a circular motion, smaller, then bigger.
Or you could suck in your cheeks, like a fish face, the the part of your cheeks right above the part that goes in, dab it and rub it in over there.
Don't put too much, a little does the trick.

1] apply medium color to cheekbones
2] apply darker color under cheekbones, to make them appear more prominent
3] apply lighter color to areas you wish to highlight - forehead, brows, middle of nose, etc.
Warning! Check all this makeup outside, in natural light, before you appear in public. You want to be glamourous, not slutty.
