Missing that rosy glow? 3 Tips for summer color in the dead in winter

2/22/2017

Summer seems oh so far away!  And so does that healthy sun-kissed complexion.   Before choosing a bronzer or contouring makeup that leaves you looking unnatural, try a nice blush.  Blush adds warm color to the cheeks and imparts a healthy glow to your whole face.  After all, who doesn't love a rosy glow, a pinkish hue? We all know how George Costanza from Seinfeld feels about it. (Video below.) 

Draw attention up to your eyes, emphasize your eye color, and create illusions about your defined facial contours with blush. Here’s what to look for and how it’s done:
  • Choose the color to coordinate with skin, lip color and clothing color.  Select muted tones, never bright.  Blush doesn’t need to expensive.  Drug store brands are an excellent choice.
  • Using a soft brush, apply blush in an upward and outward direction over your cheek bone.  This is where many get into trouble.  Before applying blush, touch your cheekbone with your fingers.  This is where the blush should be applied.  Many apply blush too low or too close to the nose, which doesn’t bring attention to those dazzling eyes.
  • Blend smoothly with the brush or a dry sponge.  Avoid circles or streaks of blush.  We’re not going for the damsel in distress look here.
There’s no need to look as pale as it is outside.  Bring on the winter cause you've got summer's glow!

It's February!  Time to Get Your Sunset Pink On

2/8/2017

What are you wearing on Valentine's Day? Some say "Pink is the color of love", but not all pinks are created equal.  Too bright and you risk looking like Barbie or Ken, too dull, and the pale zombies may emerge.  Finding the perfect blend of a warmly subdued pink, that warms up the cheeks and draws attention to the lips is the ultimate goal here.  Find that pink blush that's a titch on the orange side without looking like peach and you'll nail it.  Think fabulous sunset pink, what could be more lovely than that?  
​Here are a few of my picks for getting in a lovely mood for Valentine's Day.  Ladies first...
