Stop you're making me blush!

Advances in cosmetics have made it possible for us to cover up our natural cheek color with foundation, only to then add back a more perfected color! The color we prefer in the texture that we enjoy. So let us find together what texture you do like. There are so many, and of course there is layering.... I am a fan of layering a power on top of a cream. Here's the what:
Old Faithful: Powders! Powders are classic and easy! Apply with a brush, perhaps a kabuki style as it is, super silly simple. Like most make-up junkies I love the Nars and their best-selling Orgasm really is one of the easiest as it tends to go with most complexions as it contains peach, pink and gold tones. I feel it needs a bit of punch so I recommend using a gel first, to punch it up.
Newbies: Gels and creams. Now I have to say that it is a bit easier to apply to your cheeks after foundations and prior to powders, that being said you should also start adding with a conservative squeeze, knowing you can layer. My favorite, because it does react to your skin and turn a color that matches your specific complexion is the Smashbox O-glow. I'm sure by now you've noticed a pattern in names. Cheeky, no?
Creams: Creams can come in tubes, pans or sticks. If you find one in a tube that you like I suggest rubbing it between two fingers to 'warm' it before application, so it goes on your skin a bit smoother. If you find on in a pan, it's going to be far easier if you apply it with a brush, preferably a stipple. If you choose to go with a stick, you cannot go wrong with the Nars Multiple. I love it so much.
I guess it's the smoothness involved with the application. It's, again, a different texture than a powder and the cream formula carries the pigments in the product with a clarity that is not found in the powder.
I'm gonna only say one thing about bronzer. If you have to use it, do it sparingly and OVER a blush. Brown is not a color found on cheeks solo, it goes with a rose! 'Nuff said.
