Hi, Kiseu! That's the Sleeping Beauty blush from the original Sleeping Beauty set. It has been released as a mini set (recolored) but the blush was only in the original set. I really like it, too!

Sure, I use a lot of photoshop ^^ It's my number one obsession on my laptop haha. I can't bear to let any photo go without editing, even if it's just the very smallest of tweaks to the colours. I'm pretty good at it now though, when it doesn't require much more than changing the contrast and brightness levels and reframing, I can do an average of 5-10 seconds per image through a whole set.

I haven't played in Photoshop in what feels like forever. I don't usually do photo retouches though, since I really don't know what I'm doing. I re-size images for my blog and add a watermark to them. Other than that I mostly do digital collage work, but I haven't done that in quite a long while. I'd like to get better with some of the filters and brushes, etc.

That is so cool xD
the most I use photoshop for is to animate my drawings ;m; and to resize things, like luv xD
but I was always fascinated by image manipulators o: like you know the commercials for beauty or whatever and they were showing us how they elongated the neck and got rid of blemishes and made the eyes bigger and stuff? How do they even do that omg--
oops my browser made me double post
sorry! just ignore this one!!

Yeah, stuff like that is really complicated when you look at it as a whole, but when you learn it bit by bit it's more simple. I've been studying basically since about 2009 and I've learnt a lot to get towards that level of skill. I can smooth skin, make people thinner if they're on a simple background, take out wrinkles in a way that is subtle instead of obvious, change the shape and colour of eyes, change hair colour and clothing. But I'm still a way to go before I can do the stuff that you see on make up adverts and suchlike XD

My dad is the only one in the family who's done photoshop-y things, and that was just the one time when he shopped my uncle next to Sachin Tendulkar and my aunt and cousin next to Neil Armstrong for a joke 
It looked well done even though it was his first time, because he took a photo of my uncle with his arm straddled casually over the shoulders of a random guy, and changed the random guy's face to Sachin Tendulkar so it looked like my uncle had a wowtastic level of familiarity with Sachin Tendulkar. He did a similar thing with the other pic and sent it to my aunt's family and my aunt was like 'Wow' and my uncle loved it 
My dad basically made the family history like that

Haha sounds like fun! I would love to have the time to mess around with artistic stuff in that kind of way. Like, there's a photographer who lives near where I went to uni who takes lots of different photos and puts them together. She might put a model near a lake, then find a swan with its wings raised, and combine them together so the model is spreading her wings in the finished image, for instance. I'd like to get better at that kind of stuff.
They're the only ones I'm getting when I search 
Your avi's face looks really different and nice with freckles but no blush btw
