How do you pick the proper colour of blush for your individual skin tone? How and where do you apply it for a smooth, subtle look?

Melissa Gibson, makeup artist for M.A.C Cosmetics, help us pick out the perfect blush!
To pick a blush go for a colour that is a ½ to full shade darker or brighter than your skin tone. Colour can vary depending on preferences like pinks or peaches. Use a brush with a very soft hair and that has a slight angle to it. This allows you to follow the line of the cheek area very easily and lets the brush do most of the work. The softer the hair on the brush the less product you are putting on the face. It is easier to build colour than to take away.
