Hello
Firstly blush problem - it sounds like the blush is 'grabbing' onto your skin. Are you wearing foundation? If so you may need to powder to create a smooth surface for the blush to go on. If you are not wearing foundation, you may find you need to powder your skin first or remove any oil on the skin. Basically anything oily or 'damp' will grab the blush and make it uneven. Possibly you are applying too soon after moisturising? In which case allow more time for the moisturiser to sink in.
If you put it on and it is uneven you need to blend, blend, blend. I like to dip my brush in some translucent powder and then use this to blend out the edges to create a smooth and even finish.
You can try cream blush as an alternative and smooth into your skin with (clean) fingers.
Also, when you put the blush on your brush, tap off the excess and go in light first so if you need more you can add more but this way helps to keep it light and natural. Always easier to add more blush than take it off!!
Secondly, concealer - with blemishes you have to face facts that the concealer will hide the colour but can do nothing about the dimension of the blemish. This can be why you feel it is highlighting it. Try applying concealer with a very small and slimline brush and only on the blemish itself. Also ensure the colour is a good match for your skin, if it is too light then it will highlight it even more.
Hope that helps
