How Much Blush Should You Wear
You don’t want to look like a clown so make sure your cheek color is not to dramatic.
Blush should be used to enhance your complexion, not to change your natural skin tone. Use sparingly for daytime, then add more or a deeper shade for a more dramatic nighttime effect.
For special occasions, dust a lightly frosted powder over your cheekbones for a subtle but alluring glow.
Where To Apply Blush
Have you ever seen a woman have so much blush on that she looks manic? Some people just don’t know WHERE to apply blush. If you’re wondering, well here’s a tip;
Bend over for 30 seconds, then slowly stand up. Where your cheeks are flushed is where you are meant to blush. Apply your blush there and it will be naturally rosy every time!
Look Bright Eyed and Bushy Tailed
We’ve been touching on pregnancy and new mommies a bit here and one thing we need to address is the fact that you may not FEEL glowing but you can still LOOK glowing! Here is how to get brighter, wider eyes:
Apply one thin coat of mascara to both upper and lower lashes. For a more dramatic look, allow first coat to dry completely then apply a second coat concentrating on the base of the lash.
Tip: For a real eye-opener, use an eyelash curler before applying mascara. Curl gently at the base of the lashes, but never beyond the center of the lashes. Don’t clamp down on one spot for too long or you’ll get a sharp angle.
Tip: Don’t pump the applicator wand in the mascara tube. Doing so will trap air inside and cause the mascara to dry out. Instead, twist the wand to collect more mascara on the brush.
