OK so today I have a dinner to go to...I've already done my makeup cause I have work till 12:30 then the dinner at 2:00...what would you guys suggest for touching up my makeup before leaving the house...do you reapply blush or just use the same brush with the excess from the blush to refresh help I'm lost I've never had to touch up.

If your blush has faded a bit during the day, dusting on a bit more might be a good idea. Just remember to go light with your application. You can always add a little more if you don't think you've got enough color, but it's a bit trickier to remove it, if you accidentally put on too much. I have combo/oily skin, so I usually touch-up my makeup by using a blotting paper and dusting on a little translucent power to get rid of any excess shine. If I'm prepping for an evening out, I often add a little more eyeliner or a hit of darker shadow to my eyes, just to turn my lighter day-time makeup into more of an evening look. I'll also take a moment to re-apply lipstick and/or gloss. Usually, the whole thing doesn't take me more than five minutes.
