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.

If youre using brozer or if you contour.. then maybe the colors are mixing up together, mking the blush appear darker?.

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. :)
