Bright Blush

SPOTTED ON Beyonce
WHY WE LOVE IT Winter means less sun (and paler skin)—which is all the more reason to give your cheeks extra love. Layer blush on the apples of your cheeks, and blend it outwards along your temples for a festive, edgier look.

    I use the Physician's Formula Shadow, and I absolutely love it! There are so many looks in that strip that it's definitely worth the $10 price tag. Plus, it lasts a while.

    I'm digging the colored lipsticks and the opaque lip glosses! I know I definitely rock both of those!

    I wouldn't really associate these items as a "risk" factor.. well maybe for the prudent.

    Yikes...hell to the no on Beyonce's look, she looks like an overly pink colored easter egg. And fake lashes...that's for dragqueens. The glitter polish is acceptable. Hayden looks stunning the rest are blahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    Sometimes less is more. Except for moisturizer,you can never overdue it in the bitter cold temps.

    I think Beyonce looks amazing like always! It isn't too much on her. The rest look ok.

    Beyonce is very pretty/cute and will look good anyway.....I don't think the 'pinky'blush color suits her, perhaps a deeper peach/bronzy shade, if any. The false lashes are ok for evening wear, but do look 'fake'!!!

    The true beautys really only use make-up to accentuate their best features, not create a 'phony'/false look......except on Halloween/or on stage!!!!
