For those of you that have mentioned that you are afraid of blush because you don't want to look 'clown-ish', heres just a couple ideas that may help.
A 187 brush really helps, but whatever brush you have, apply your blush to where you like it. Then go back over it with loose powder/foundation with a thin brush like the 190 (i use one smaller but similar) to give it a lighter/feathery look on the edges.
You can use a very lightly damp sponge on powder blush to apply. This will give you a cream blush look with powder blush, making it blend into the skin better.
Lightly tap your blush on the back of your hand first, then apply to your cheeks. This will help you in giving a lighter touch.
