Problem: Heavy Blush
Solution: Blended Cream Blush

"If you've used a cream blush, you can take a tiny bit of foundation and tap it lightly over the heavy blush using your fingertip or a sponge to neutralize it. If you've used a powder blush, then you probably need to start over. If you use a powder blush, make sure you powder the cheek area before applying powder blush as it will stick and look blotchy if applied to unpowdered skin or foundation. Cream blush is the opposite-it must be applied over unpowdered skin because it won't blend smoothly over a powdered surface. Always start with a very small amount of blush (cream or powder!) and build from there until you've achieve the desired amount. CoverGirl + Olay Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush is super easy to blend and leaves behind a healthy sheen."
