Between contouring, highlighting, and other beauty buzzwords right now it can seem a bit confusing when it comes to cheeks! Pulling out all the stops is fun for special occasions but on a daily basis it’s nice to simplify. Here are 3 products to add to your routine to get that perfectly sculpted cheek everyday!

With contouring, you can sculpt your face into whatever shape you like. To add shadows or depth, we’re going to use darker powders or creams. Usually, the key places to contour are the hollows of the cheeks (You can find these by sucking your cheeks in like a fishy face), the temples, and the jawline. However, you can pretty much contour wherever you’d like! (Even your nose or eyes – it will help add dimension to your face if it’s looking a bit flat.) When contouring it’s best to use matte products (without shimmer), because this will be more natural looking. (more…)

It is officially winter, and the holiday season is a great time to experiment with fun new colors in blushes to bring more life to your pretty face. Personally, I prefer powder blushes for the fall and winter and go for a more dewy finish with cream blushes towards summer. I’ve picked out the top four blushes that I reach for most during the wintertime. All these blushes are cool toned and range from $30 to as low as $3. (more…)
I think every oily skinned girl can relate: we can literally feel our skin getting oily, which means our face makeup is about to go everywhere but our face. Its extremely difficult to find foundations and powders that not only stay on our face but also keep us matte for as long as possible. It all depends on the products you use, of course. There are some tips, though, so don’t worry!
There is no better time than the summer to work that all-American girl style. This look takes “less is more” to heart and simply adds some glow to your look. Just like Lauren Bush, we’re going to give you a run down of this gorgeous and minimal makeup and hair routine.
Step 1: Face – After washing, use a tinted moisturizer for a subtle glow. Skip the foundation and only apply concealer to problem areas. For example, dark circles, around your nose, and any blemishes. Then sweep a soft pink blush from cheekbones to temples. Lauren has a natural glow without layers of makeup, so to achieve this look, minimal makeup is necessary.
Step 2: Brows – Lauren has amazing, full eyebrows that really stand out. You can get them by using a brow pencil or kit to fill them in. Next to keep them in place, take either brow gel or clear mascara and brush your brows up and then out. Believe it or not this is a crucial step as brushing them clearly defines your brow. (more…)
Frequently, bronzer and blush get mistaken for interchangeable products, but they each have a place on the face to create a polished makeup look.
The purpose of bronzer is to warm the face, as well as create shadows which can make the face appear slimmer (especially for round face shapes like mine). It can also be referred to as contouring when you are specially using the bronzer to give the face dimension and slim it.
Bronzer belongs right below the cheekbone, in the hollows of the cheeks. To find this, make a fish face and where you feel the indent below the cheekbone take a fluffy brush and place bronzer on each side of the face. Also use it around the temples, and across the bridge of the nose and chin. This will give the face a slightly tanned look. I used Smashbox Hydrating Halo Bronzer.

If you’re not trying to look like you’re wearing any makeup but still want to use makeup to enhance your natural beauty, the “no makeup” makeup look is a good option for you. This look is ideal for the lazy days — anything from early morning classes to beach trips to gym moves — anytime you want a fresh face with minimal effort required.
Here’s how to do it:

Bronzer can be a bit intimidating for someone with fair skin. I use it sparingly, because, let’s face it, no one is ever going to believe my face is naturally that shade! (I’ve embraced my paleness and look up to Nicole Kidman for inspiration) However, when a spice of color in the warmer seasons can look 100% natural, when applied properly.
When applying bronzer, focus on placement. Bronzer should be applied where the sun naturally hits your face. Lightly sweep bronzer on the forehead, over the bridge of your nose, the middle of your chin and then the apples of your cheeks. Need help finding your apples? Just smile!
Blush is safe, and can brighten/add a little but of “life” to fair skin during any season. When choosing a color, opt for pink and peach-based hues. Stay away from orange tones – they’ll look too harsh and obvious. Lightly dust blush the apples of your cheeks for the most natural look.
Don’t know where to start? Try these products:
Whether you favor blush or bronzer, don’t neglect your neck! Take one sweep of the brush down your jaw line and onto your neck for a natural-looking glow.
It’s that time again – Halloween. With all the different options out there, finding the right costume seems to get more overwhelming each year. You’re usual choices range from scary to funny to downright vulgar. So what’s a fashionista to do in the midst of Snooki wannabe’s and cliché costumes? Keep it glam! There are…
