Blush

I’m totally loving the new blush formulas that have been coming out lately. Powder blush is great, but water-based blushes are so easy to just stick in your purse and go! Because of that, I’m extremely excited to try out Laura Geller’s new blush, Tint Hint.

Tint Hint is a water-based gel blush that goes on sheer, brightening every skin tone. It is designed to give your cheeks that “just-pinched” look. With each layer that you apply, the more color intensity is achieved. This blush can be applied on bare skin or on top of any makeup. It stays on all day–from the morning you apply it, until the night when you remove it!

The blush comes in a very subtle pink shade called Just Pinched. This shade is so sheer that it works with every skin tone! This definitely saves you the time of trying to find the “right” blush shade for your skin tone. It’s great that theres one shade out there that flatters everybody! You can get this amazing blush for $22.50 here.

Powder blush: the blush that’s been around forever, and the blush we’ve all been using. Powder blush is timeless, and comes in numerous shades that will light up your face! However, sometimes powder blush is not for everyone. It can get messy sometimes, and when you apply too much…I don’t even want to go there.

Smashbox has created a new type of blush, O-Glow. O-Glow is a clear gel that works with your skin chemistry and instantly turns your cheeks into the color that you actually blush! It works on all skin tones–the lightest, and the darkest. And the best part–it’s so easy to use!
How does O-Glow know what color you naturally blush? It’s all about science. When applied, your skins moisture activates the energizing Goji Berry-C Complex™, which creates a microcirculating effect. This creates a naturally rosy flush that will last all day! The Goji Berry-C Complex™ contains antioxidants such as vitamin C, pomegranate seed oil and marine plankton, so your skin will stay as healthy as possible!

How neat is that? A “one size fits all” blush? I’ll take it! You can get O-Glow for $26 here!

To achieve a natural, sun-kissed glow, apply bronzer over blush (as opposed to blush over bronzer). This blends the color evenly to give you a more flawless look! Try it with Sugar Tropic Tan Blush/Bronzer Duo [$25], to get the perfect color!

Tip: With a big brush (Powder Brush - Jumbo, $5.99), sweep blush on cheekbones, and lightly on forehead, nose, and chin. Then, apply bronzer all over, and blend well!
