Now that the summer sun has set, many women have broken out the bronzer in hopes of hiding their pale skin. But instead of a fake bake, why not brighten your complexion with a warm blush? It’s a quick and easy way to look fresh-faced and healthy.

While many celebrities hire professional makeup artists before a big event, it seems that Gabrielle Union is not one of those girls. And judging from her impeccable rosy makeup at a recent event, the stunning actress doesn’t need any help! Luckily, she shared her secret for creating the perfect glow.

“I brushed a light dusting of apricot powder on my upper cheekbones,” Union told InStyle magazine. “I love that it brightens my face without looking too makeup-y.”

She kept her eye makeup minimal with a bit of black liner on her upper lash lines and a coat of mascara. To complete the look, Union added a bit of glitter to her pout with a gold-flecked lip gloss.

“A little sparkle on the lips is flirtatious,” she added.
