When applying blush

How do you all apply blush?

I didn't know about it before either, but I'm using it now.

Apply blush by patting it on rather than sweeping it on.

They say I have to apply it!

That way, the foundation or powder won't slide off.

It is said that blush clumping is also reduced!

I used to apply it by sweeping it on, too, but now I'm patting it on.

When I applied it, the color payoff was good and it seemed to turn out pretty :)
