Hey there!Well,I'm sure that what I'm gonna say is 100% correct,but anyway..A bronzer is supposed to give you a sunkissed look,whereas a blush is supposed to give you a glowing look (especially if you're fair,you definitely need blush,so that you don't look like dead!!!)!

I'm quite fair,so I use blush in the winter and bronzer in the summer!But you can use a light bronzer in the winter too!It all depends on the look you're after: sunkissed=bronzer,a hint of color=blush!

What's your coloring dear??I may be able to help you with specific brands and shades too!

I am really fairskinned and I use bronzer when I want to have a sunkissed looked..when I want more of a pink or rosey tint I use blush.

I think bronzer would look really nice on you

I'd like a bronzer too babes, I'm fair, usually the fairest shade of foundation.Neutral, not too pink/yellow. I use NARS orgasm as all over glow but I don't mind something more sparkly!

To answer your question you don't have to just use bronzer on your cheeks. When I do my friends' makeup (we're black), I do it wherever they wanna highlight or some extra shimmer and sometimes I use it on them as shadow too. But i personally think you can get away with some blush too. I'm an NC43 and I wear it all the time, I'm guessing you're like an NC50 or so and so are a lotta my girls and the glow is gorgeous. Just stay away from those pink shades and try some mochas or some plums. good luck though!
