  1. A Natural Blush

    The two makeup staples I simply cannot do without are mascara and blush. These are must have items in my daily makeup routine. Mind you, I do not have a true "makeup routine" as in a whole routine of makeup added daily. I absolutely hate using foundation. It makes me hot and simply not necessary in my book. I also do not see a dire need to use concealer. I am a firm believer in the idea that if you keep your skin healthy and hydrate, concealer is simply not needed. My makeup routine consists of a couple simple things. I always use mascara primer, mascara, blush, brow gel and lip color. I like to keep it simple. Multitasking makeup is my all time favorite. I love when you can pick up one product and basically do your entire face with it. For this reason, blush is a true addiction of mine. i especially like cream blushes. I love to use my fingers when applying my makeup. I have as of lately discovered the beauty of using lipstick as blush! This is a great idea as you can keep the color palette consistent. My color of choice is always a bright pink. Looks ultra healthy on lips and cheeks. It is easy to blend and even easier to carry one item for retouching throughout the day. When applying your lipstick as blush you can either apply directly to your cheeks and blend out. or you can also apply to your fingers tips and dab gently to desired tone. Either way, you will certainly be surprised at how pretty the color ill look. This of course works best with either cream or matte formulas. You ca also go over the blush with a hint of powder color to add intensity and longer lasting color.
  2. The Perfect Dewy Blush

    Nothing says healthy more than a natural dewy glow. One of the biggest trends right now is a natural dewy flush. It is not only a sign of youth, but helps to brighten your entire face. You can easily create this effect with your favorite blush. This look can be achieved with both a cream or powder bush. All you need is a little vaseline and your favorite blush. We always recommend that you use a natural blush color. If you are fair skinned try a natural light pink or peach hue. For those with olive skin tones try either a bronze. If you have darker skin, you can try a deep pink hue. You want to create a natural flushed look, not a made up look. The attention should be on your entire face, not just your cheeks. Once you have your blush selected, remember to stick to the apples of the cheeks. Do not overdo it and add too much. Blush is meant to compliment your complexion and give you a boost of color. Once you have applied your blush, gently dab a little vaseline to the apples of your cheeks. Do this using your ring finger and gently tapping as you would apply your eye cream. The idea is to illuminate the cheeks and give them a natural glow. You will absolutely love the results. This is an easy hack to help get that perfect dewy glow that complete;y transforms your entire look.
