Made You Blush

One of the easiest ways to get the look of love this Valentine's Day and everyday, is with blush. It's often overlooked and underrated.  In my view, it is the one product that makes your complexion come alive.There are many product options - cream, gel, powder, matte, shimmery, or luminous. You'll find some of the best in this pretty post.

Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush

Jones Road Miracle Balm
This is Bobbi Brown's all clean beauty brand. It's also the blush that Vogue deemed the best for "mature skin." It's a wash of soft focus color. It comes in 13 shades. I want them all! But if I had to choose just one, it would be "Happy Hour" as seen in the bottom row.

Blush Stick

This velvety blush provides luminous all day wear. Available in 7 shades. This line is clean beauty, which is a big plus.

Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette
I just love choices, and that's what you get with this pretty palette. You get four luminous shades to use as blush and/or highlighters. 

Sephora

Nars Cosmetics

Oh Behave!—a matte mauve pink that seems polite, but still surprises. Double up on this cheeky shade with Blush and Afterglow Liquid Blush. Blending a powder and a cream or liquid adds dimension and  a bit of glow.

Saie Dew Blush
A blendable liquid flush of color. It's as if she was just a wee bit flushed. Love the sheer glow of this product. I have their luminous gel highlighter and love it. Oh! It's also clean beauty. Voted best Liquid blush by Vogue.

Jardin Imaginaire

A limited-edition powder duo that pairs an intense matte blush and a pearlescent highlighter. Chanel's pigments are so full and true, one needs just a touch. That brush is great!

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact

One of the blushes I like best in my collection.  Bobbi Brown is out of all colors. Neiman's has this beautiful Pink Quartz. Truly gorgoeous when blended all together. It can also play double duty as eyeshadows. 

Neiman Marcus

Nars The Multiple
This product in "orgasm" gets my vote for the prettiest blush. I love the creaminess and ease of use. As the name suggests, you can use this blush stick on your face, lips, and eyes. At the moment I have it on my cheeks and lips. It gives a nice sheen.

Nars Cosmetics

ReDimension Hydra Powder Blush

I have had mine for about 10 days now. LOVE it, and can't wait to select another color. It's light as air and very buildable. Not sparkly at all, but I love the soft sheen. It's filled with all natural skin loving ingredients. The best part that it's refillable! Sign up for their rewards membership, and get free shipping every order.

Sun Kissed:: Bronzers That Give You The Look

One of the best ways to give your complexion  warmth and luminosity is with a bronzer.  Remember, you are looking for a sun kissed look, so apply only where the sun would naturally land on your face. Today, I've rounded up some of the best bronzers by luxury beauty brands.

Terracotta Flower Blossom Bronzing Powder 

The iconic healthy glow powder returns in an exquisite new limited edition, designed by artist and painter Laura Gulshani. Guerlain's Bronzing Powders have long been some of my favorites. They last forever! Love that the formula is derived from 96% natural ingredients.

This item is so new and so popular, it appears no one has it yet ! Sorry to do that to you, but it was too pretty not to include. It will be on the shelves soon. OR....head to Bergdorf Goodman and get the Guerlain Terracotta Light Healthy Glow Bronzer, which is almost the same, without the flowers.

Hourglass Cosmetics Ambient Lighting Bronzer

I love this powder bronzer! It fuses an illuminating effect (in the softest of ways) with the dimension of multiple tones in one color.  The powder is sheer. so you won't over do it, but it is also buildable. 

Sephora  and Nordstrom

Manasi 7 Bronzelighter Cream Bronzer

I thought this was the prettiest color, and perfect for those who really want a light touch. This award winning non oily bronzer has been made with wild harvested ingredients. It really is the perfect non-orange golden rose shade.

Saks Fifth Avenue

Hulla Matte Bronzer
This product is award winning and has a cult following, including "Ms. Shop This." It comes in four perfect shades in the cutest mirrored case. Medium priced at $35. 

Benefit Cosmetics and Sephora

Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Cream Bronzer

As you can see, this product delivers an effortless and minimalist glow. It features light reflecting pigments which give you a smooth and natural looking luminosity. It's so good that Chanel is sold out but you can find it at

Saks Fifth Avenue  

Kevin Aucoin Neo Bronzer

Go from naturally sun-kissed to tropically-bronzed with Neo-Bronzers. I love this idea, it is  a bronzer, blush, and highlighter in one palette. Each shade can be used individually or all in one fell sweep of a brush.

Saks Fifth Avenue

Westman Atelier Face Trace

Checkbones in a snap!  Face Trace Contour Sticks ultra-blendable creamy formula makes it easy to sculpt cheekbones, and instantly give definition to sides of nose, jawline and eyelids.  It's a versatile product, and bronzing is the the icing on the cake. #cleanbeauty

Credo Beauty  and  Bergdorf Goodman
  

Tower 28

Bronzino Illuminating Bronzer

Another #cleanbeauty option that is intriguing to me. First of all, the price is good at $20. It will add a healthy glow and subtle shimmer to your complexion. It's a cream and looks magical to me.  Available in five shades. I like the "sun coast."

Credo Beauty  and   Sephora

Filmstar Bronze & Glow

Contour & Highlighting palette for light to medium skin tones. The bronzer side features a blend of pearl and pigments. The Glow side has a golden base that will flatter any skin tone. I would really use this palette.

Two ways to bronze: Cream or silky powder. The powder is talc free They both provide instant warmth.
