You can place it in different areas on your cheeks to give you a completely different look depending on what cosmetic mood you are in.Wearing blush would also depend on which color one has chosen to go with and also the face shape and how they have chosen to wear it. Therefore, there are some basics that one has to follow in order to look chic with that brush with blush.

When blush is rightfully worn, it changes the entire face and gives it a more glowing and polished look. If you have an oval face, then you have to wear your blush at the apples of the cheeks for glow.

All on all the basics of wearing blush, if proper learned can give you that star look at an instant.

First, you should pick your blush according to your skin color. Is it fair, medium or dark?

Second, you should determine what your undertones are. These are colors closely matching your skin tone. They could be cool or warm undertones. You can tell by simply standing in front of the mirror with two tones say gold and silver. One will make you look warm and alive; another will make you look pale. Go for warm.
