Hello Gorgeous!
My favorite cosmetic is blush… A makeup bag must have!
Blush is a very important factor of your makeup routine. Why…? Not only is blush a great way to add a little dimension to your finished look, but it also enhances the natural glow of your cheekbones. Blush helps brighten your expression, complete your overall look and helps to make your beautiful face glow and look alive. Never skip this important step in your makeup routine!
I have tried almost every brand of blush and in a large range of colors, but finally I have found my favorite two (I couldn’t narrow it down to just one because they are both equally amazing).
My favorite blushes are Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Exposed (nude) and LORAC Baked Matte Satin Blush in Velvet Rope (plum rose). Both blushes look great on almost every skintone and are absolutely gorgeous colors. I recommend both colors, but if you wanted to try a different color, there are many others to choose from as well.
Each blush gives beautiful color that lasts all day and they are extremely pigmented, but do not feel heavy or look powdery. You can apply a little bit for a natural look or both blushes are buildable for a more dramatic look. These blushes do not emphasis pores and they blend nicely on cheeks. A little bit goes a long way for both of these beauties so you only need a little touch of color to look fabulous.
