Whether you choose to use a warming color or bronzer alone or with a blush color, you will be applying it in the same fashion. Just as in Step 7, you will be using the all-purpose brush. First begin by wiping the brush clean with a dry towel or paper towel.

Next, lightly dip the brush into the mineral powder, swirl slightly, and tap off the excess. Now lightly apply the color across your cheeks and up your temples, very lightly down the center of you nose, on your chin, over your forehead (if you don't have bangs), and very lightly on your ears. Most of the time when a bronzer or warming color is applied the ears get missed and it tends to give you an incomplete look. Finally, gently sweep the brush downward from your jaw down your neck, in order to give you a more natural look.
