hi..thank you so much for putting this on your blog

thank you

Yes, sorry that should have been 30 Cendre – in the US it’s called 30 Shell (but it’s the same foundation).
hi should i use the powder after i use the cream blush? i always find cream blushers hard to work with but love the natural look of them.
thanks

As a general rule, powder goes on after cream products, however I would just recommend powdering through your T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin), and leaving your cheeks nice and dewy with just the cream blush. If you find cream blush hard to put on with your fingers, try using a MAC Duofibre brush (no 188) to apply in small circles on the cheeks- it gives a nice airbrushed finish.
