Whenever I do my blush I usually tap off the extra a million times and only put the brush in the blush once for each side but I feel like it still is too dark no matter what color it is. do you guys have any tips?

Go over it with your face powder after you applied it.

I usually set my foundation with translucent powder and I've tried and that doesn't seem to help. maybe if I used a colored face powder?

It might be the brush youre using thats too dense or picking too much color up.

Maybe you have just been buying too dark of a color? Never apply a blush any darker than what you would naturally flush.

Yeah it could be the wrong color. but I put blush on before foundation because it softens it up.

Use a stipple brush to blend it all out and lightly build up the blush. It's better to put more on then take off.

Trying a baked blush is another option. There a lot more control of how much is picked up.

I just blow my brush after dipping it into the blush, after applying I blend it with a powder. If that doesn't work, you have to look for a lighter blush.

Maybe you should try find a colour that suits your skin tone more, like a sunkissed colour, or you could mix your powder with the bronzer to create a more light colour? Hmm I'd just buy a new one, I got mine for elf? You get two colours and it's really well priced, I got the darkest despite being pale without tan on I can use both colours to create a shade that's just right for me x

Try using a cream blush in a colour you like, then you can control the amount you use with your fingertips.

Yeah, using a colored face powder would to sheer it out after would work better. and maybe if it's still too pigmented you could apply your blush before your face powder. :)
