Blush Matters


Once we have solved our skincare issues and found/matched the perfect foundation or tinted moisturizer color/texture we are sitting pretty. But...something is still missing. "Why am I all one color? I look washed out." Here lies the reason why every lady should wear cheek color or blush (rouge, as my Grandma Angie would say). Blush wears a few hats. Not only does it add life and color to your face but it makes the skin appear more youthful and healthy. Like you've just been kissed by the sun for a moment or as if someone has just pinched your cheeks. Blush color should be chosen based upon what compliments your skin and what you are most comfortable wearing. Don't let the MUA (makeup artist) talk you into a color just because it is new. To assure that you are chosing the best color, ask a salesperson who has her makeup done close to the way you would like yours to look. Chances are, that person will be more understanding of your needs (this goes for any cosmetic product you're seeking-knowledge is power). But also, don't count new colors out. Playing with blush is super fun and anything can work if your willing to try new things. A little goes a long way so always start off small-subtle washes of color are most flattering. If you feel as though you need more, you can always build onto a color by applying more. It is easier to add more than to take away too much. Happy Blushing!
