Blending foundation is going to be one of the most important techniques you can learn because you want your skin to look as natural as possible, and you definitely don't want any lines along the jaw or mismatched tones that are obvious. When blending foundation, the best tools you can use are a foundation brush or Beauty Blender Sponge. Using your fingers won't give you as even of an application.
Start blending around the nose and move out towards the rest of your face to make sure you create an even tone complexion.

The key to blending eyeshadow is pretty simple. Using a contour crease eyeshadow brush, you can blend eyeshadow in the crease until it looks natural the tone is consistent and not overpowering. Knowing how to layer eyeshadow and blend is one of the key essentials to eye makeup, and spending time blending each layer is pertinent to your outcome (especially if you want to create a smoky eye that contains lots of layers).
Start with blending the lightest shadows until they look natural and continue with the darker shades. The more you blend, the smoother the eyeshadow looks.

When blending blush the main thing you want to avoid is too much pigment on the apples of the cheeks. You see this mistake often, because people tend to have a heavy hand when it comes to blush, feeling like the cheeks need the most color. The best way to blend blush on the cheeks is to apply a light amount of blush to the apple of the cheeks and blend in an upward motion with your blush brush, layering the color as you go.
If you layer the color to get the desired pigment you want versus starting out all at once with too much color, you will get the natural flush tone you want without having to retract your steps. You can also use this method with cream blush as well, and apply liquid and cream textures with blush brushes too.
