How can I avoid my blusher and bronzer looking patchy over foundation?

To prevent blusher and bronzer from looking patchy, Estée Lauder suggests a combination
of skin prep and application technique. Well-hydrated skin helps powders blend smoothly, so
ensure you have applied and allowed your moisturiser and foundation to settle before
adding colour. When using powder blusher or bronzer, swirl your brush in the product and
then tap it into the centre of your hand to remove excess and distribute pigment evenly
through the bristles. This means the colour goes onto the face in a soft, diffused way, making
it much easier to build up a seamless, natural-looking finish.
