"  Yes, Amber Heard is naturally gorgeous and normally flaunts a barely there, fresh-faced makeup look, but recently the Rum Diary actress was a little heavy-handed when it came to swiping on her blush.  To make sure you don&amp;#039;t overdo it in the blush department, we asked New York City-based makeup artist Lauren Cosenza for some tips and tricks on the right way to fake a natural-looking flush: 1. Cancel out redness. If you have areas of redness (from acne, rosacea, broken blood vessels, etc.), conceal them fully with foundation and cover-up before applying blush. Otherwise the pink, peach, or rose hues will emphasize the redness and possibly appear ruddy.  2. Don&amp;#039;t apply the color too close to the center of the face (aka your nose). Blush should be swiped on starting at the apples of your cheeks\u2014if you don&amp;#039;t know what the apples of your cheeks are, smile and they&amp;#039;re the biggest part of your cheeks that protrude out\u2014using a fluffy blush brush and lightly blended out toward your temples. 3. Blend your blush. Rouge runs the risk of looking clown-like if it&amp;#039;s not properly and evenly blended. After you&amp;#039;ve applied your blush, don&amp;#039;t use your blush brush to blend it into your skin (it may still have excess product on it). Instead, take your foundation brush or still-damp foundation sponge and run it along the edges of where you applied your pink hue, so that the color fades naturally into skin.
