You're Making Me Blush

Pet peeve: Women who feel they don't need blush.

Yes, you have lovely skin, but please don't make the mistake of believing you are not blush worthy, because no matter how flawless your complexion, your cheeks can always use some color!

The level of your blush is based on the color scheme you are using on your eyes and lips -- and the rare occasion you should minimize it is if you are emphasizing a dramatic lip with a loud color like red.

Option: If you are a blush lover and refuse to change your red lips -- keep your eyes neutral with just mascara, or a fun pair of false lashes!


Think Pink: Based on your lip color, use a bronzed or a rosy pink color to accent your cheeks.


Favorite: Bobbi Brown has an amazing line of blush colors that are perfect for any skin tone. I use Pale Pink, and it works wonders.
