->Choosing your hue can be tricky – there were lots of shocking pinks on the catwalks this season but such a bold shade can be too much for some skin tones.

->You're aiming to choose the color that you cheeks go when you exercise so use that as a guide. If you're still unsure, check out your local makeup counter where specialists are able to suggest the shade that best suits you – they specialize in the most natural-looking results.

->As for how to apply it – blusher is supposed to go slightly above the whole length of the cheekbone and onto the apple of the cheek area.

->Do's and Don'ts

~Do use quick, circular motions and gradually build up the desired intensity.

~Do use a brush that's really soft but not too big or you could end up looking like a clown!

~Don't apply it beneath the cheekbones or it will drag the face down.

~Don't use shimmery blushers or your face could appear rounder.

->Take a trip to any makeup counter and you'll see a dizzying array of blush formulations, so it can be very confusing knowing which will suit you.

->Select your blush on the basis of your skin type:

~If you have dry skin use either liquid, gel or cream that will nourish the area.

~Oilier complexions should stick to powder or liquid, as these won't budge even if skin becomes shiny.

~Normal skins are lucky and can experiment with any type of blushes to suit the finish they require.
