Your body is a temple – blush accordingly

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

Your body is a temple - blush accordingly Consider the way you look after a day in the sun – are the apples of your cheeks the only part of your face that receive a dose of healthy color? We think you know what the answer is, which is why we're encouraging you to look skyward as you extend your blush to your temples and forehead.

"Pat McGrath – the makeup guru who engineered the blushing-at-the-temples look for Versace spring show – rightly notes that blush sitting on the apples of your cheeks alone has a tendency to look oddly 'done,'" writes Glamour.com. "Kind of like you're on your way to your first dance recital or a retiree who didn't have her bifocals on when on when she was slapping on some color."

This is also a good trick to keep in your back pocket for days when you need a bit of a wake-me-up. Nothing can perk you up more than a healthy dose of blush applied to your cheekbones and temples, as opposed to color positioned on the center of your cheeks, which will likely make you look a little tired and weighed down.

Makeup shy? Go ahead and blush

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

Makeup shy? Go ahead and blush Even though makeup comes in a rainbow of varieties, it may not always feel as though we have that many choices as to which features we wish to emphasize. Do up your eyes, or go for a bold lip – never both, but still, these are only two routes to choose from.

Shy of playing up either of these features? Perhaps the right thing for you to do is to continue blushing – by letting your cheeks take center stage, of course.

"If you're not crazy about following trends but still want to freshen up your makeup look for spring, upgrading your blush alone is a simple way to transition your entire look," StyleList.com suggests. "Go for a warmer, peachier hue applied to the apples of the cheeks to rev up your complexion and bring the focus to your eyes."

Since the rest of your makeup is staying fairly minimal, don't be afraid to go for a slightly brighter shade than usual. A cream blush can help take your look from flat to exceptional, especially for those days when you just want a bit of a dewier finish.

Springtime spotlights your cheeks

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

Springtime spotlights your cheeks If you thought that winter was the time for your cheeks to stand out – what with that flushed, rosy just-in-from-the-cold look that dominated so much of our appearance last season – get ready for the warm, natural glow that springtime is sure to bestow upon them.

"Sexy sculpted, sun-kissed cheeks will always represent a sign of femininity and seduction," BecomeGorgeous.com reports. "You'll look absolutely stunning, irresistible and elegant with translucent skin and a bronzing blush. On the other hand, a pink or peachy blush…draws attention through the natural, fresh effect it creates."

The best part about this trend is it eliminates the need for an all-over tan (and relieves you of feeling the need to engage with all those damaging UV rays!). Ladies of all complexions can benefit from a touch of bronzer or blush, but even super pale skin can look glowing in all of its natural splendor.

To achieve the most natural sun-kissed look, apply a light dusting of pigment to the areas of your face the sun would naturally hit (temples, cheekbones, browbones, the bridge of your nose and the top of the forehead).

Use blush for an instant pick-me-up

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

Use blush for an instant pick-me-up If you've been keeping up any makeup routine at all, you probably know by now that most of us look better with just a touch of blush on our cheeks, no matter how youthful or natural our looks.

As women get older, in particular, blush becomes a useful tool to help retain a healthy glow. Mature skin requires a slightly different set of rules, however, as some of the same products you used in your 20s are probably not fit for your most flattering look later on in life.

Celebrity makeup artist Sandy Litner and top beauty editor Lois Joy Johnson recommend applying blush to the cheekbones rather than the apples of the cheeks for an instant face-lift, USA Weekend reports.

Moving your pigment just a bit higher helps takes the emphasis away from fine lines and wrinkles around your mouth and toward the structured part of your face. For an even more enhanced glow, use subtle cream highlighters on your cheekbones and browbones, but avoid the shimmer, as glittery products may not be the most flattering option.

Tis the season to blush and blush

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011

Tis the season to blush and blush While it's true that we're all probably sick of winter, there's no other season that gives you that naturally pretty flushed look. In fact, bringing out the natural blush on your cheeks is the best way to ride out what's left of the season, and there are certain types of products that work best given the climate.

"A sweep of blush over your cheeks is the best way to wake up dull, tired skin especially during cold winter months," Oscars makeup department head Bruce Grayson told FabSugar.com. "A cream blush is a beauty must have as it gives a sheer, natural healthy glow, while contouring your face."

For an angelic pop of color, use Paula Dorf Cheek Color Cream in Peek A Boo – this soft pink product will flatter all complexions, as it mimics the natural glow that you get from a brisk walk outside.

To really capitalize on a dewy-faced look, use a highlighting cream to draw attention to your cheekbones. A shimmery dab of color on your temples and browbone can also add a natural-looking light to your features.

Finding the right shade of blush

Monday, January 24th, 2011

Finding the right shade of blush Finding the perfect shade of concealer or foundation can be easy – you simply take home the formula that most closely matches your skin color. Selecting the right blush, however, can be much trickier. After all, with the seemingly endless hues available, how are you to know which tone looks best?

Luckily, makeup artist Molly Stern recently shared some insight with O magazine about choosing the perfect shade of blush, and her advice is simple – use your skin color as a guide.

"If your skin is fair, pastels (like baby pinks and peaches) work best," Stern told the publication. "If you have an olive complexion, try fuchsia and orangey tones…If your skin is dark, choose a coppery or golden shade."

Once you've figured out which color is best for you, it's time to choose a formula. If your skin is naturally dry, a cream blush may work best. Women with a more oily complexion, however, may prefer a powder blush.

Additionally, you should pick up a blush brush close to the size of the apples of your cheek. While many blushes come with applicators, they are often too small to apply color in a natural manner.

Hollywood’s biggest beauty secrets

Monday, January 17th, 2011

Hollywood's biggest beauty secrets While many of Hollywood's most glamorous women are naturally beautiful, they also have teams of stylists that know every trick to ensure that the ladies appear their best. Luckily for those of us who don't walk the red carpet regularly, some of the biggest industry experts recently shared their tips for looking fantastic.

To create a natural, healthy looking flush, don't rely on just one product. Instead, use a mix of foundation, bronzer and blush.

"To give Katie [Holmes] gorgeous rosy cheeks…makeup artist Mai Quynh first created a clean canvas using moisturizer, foundation, concealer and powder to hide blemishes and even out Katie's complexion," FoxNews reports. She followed by brushing bronzing powder onto Katie's cheeks and forehead and blush on the apples of her cheeks.

For luminous skin, celebrity makeup artist Sam Fine recommends using a bronzer one shade darker than your natural skin color on the outer perimeter of your face for a "halo" effect.

Finally, according to Kim Kardashian's makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic, for a soft, smoky stare, use a highlighter on your lids and the inner corner of your eyes to add brightness, according to the news source. Finish by rimming your eyes with liner and applying mascara to upper and lower lashes.

Can you wear warm colors in wintertime?

Tuesday, January 11th, 2011

Can you wear warm colors in wintertime? When the temperatures start dropping, many women transition from the warm colors of summer to the cooler tones often associated with winter. Silver-flecked navys, purples and blue-toned reds are popular when the snow starts falling, but what about women who prefer yellows and oranges?

While warmer tones may be a bit more tricky to pull off in the winter, it's not impossible, according to makeup artist Debra Ferullo, who recently created a sizzling, sun-kissed look for Drew Barrymore. According to InStyle magazine, Ferullo was inspired by Drew's saffron-colored ensemble.

"It reminded us of something you'd wear during the summer in St. Tropez, so I warmed her skin a few shades darker than it's natural tone using two shades of beige liquid makeup," she told the news source.

However, tan skin isn't the only key to adding warmth to your complexion in colder months. According to Style.com, Ferullo gave Drew a natural-looking flush with a berry-hued cream blush and completed the look with a gold and plum eyeshadow and sheer melon lip gloss.

Rock highlighter in the wintertime

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

Rock highlighter in the wintertime The winter can lead to a change in your complexion. And while dull skin is often treated with moisturizers and lotions, women looking for a quick pick-me-up can use a highlighter for an easy fix.

However, the key to a realistic glow is applying the highlighter in moderation – you shouldn't look like you ran through a sparkling rainstorm. To curb a glitter overload, Allure magazine suggests combining the highlighter with foundation. The mixture will deposit shimmer – not color – to your skin.

You can use a cream or a powder, whichever formula you prefer. Apply the highlighter to the tops of your cheekbones and the inner corner of your eyes for subtle radiance after you've put on your other cosmetics.

"Focus on the tops of the bones so it looks like the light is catching them," makeup artist Pati Dubroff told the news outlet. You can also use highlighter on your pout, shoulders and collarbone.

Finally, the news source recommends using a separate brush for the shimmer so that your blush and foundation brushes aren't flecked with glitter.

The best blush for a winter glow

Monday, January 3rd, 2011

The best blush for a winter glow Don't let January's dry, frigid climes turn you into Old Man Winter. For a youthful, radiant glow that beats the odds this season, ladies will find that a simple change in their blush routine can turn the heat way up without adding any expense to their monthly bills.

Ladies of all complexions will shine with bronzer as well as bright pink blush, as the former comes in shades to benefit pale and dark-skinned women alike, and the latter brings out naturally rosy tones on any face and mimics a just-came-in-from-the-cold flush.

Youngblood has a Crushed Mineral Blush that offers a healthy translucent to glow to cheeks as well as eyes and lips. Use it in Tulip for a universally flattering pink sheen.

If minerals are not your thing, try Pixi's Sheer Cheek Gel. It's easy to blend and lends moisturizing and conditioning properties to your face as well, which you'll benefit from in dry winter conditions. Flushed is a sheer red stain that gives all skin tones a healthy glow.

GloMinerals gloBlush features a wide variety of vibrant blushes and beachy bronzers in pressed-powder form.
