For some odd reason, women of color are terrified of blush.
I've never understood the reasoning behind NOT wearing it.
Someone once told me, "Our skin doesn't change colors when
we're flustered, so why create a facade of it doing so?"
Girl, what?!? Blush can be your best friend if used correctly.
Who doesn't want to highlight their cheek bones? RIGHT.
Quick Tips:
- Blush should always look natural w/ an undertone of color.
- Lips and cheeks work best when kept in the same shade family.
- Powder blush is simple to use for beginners. It blends quite
easier than cream blush. (But if you have dry skin, cream blush
maybe the best route for you.)
- When in doubt, swipe a hint of bronzer after applying the blush
for a smooth finish.
NARS cosmetics has an array of shades that looking amazing on literally everyone. But at $27.00 a pop that isn't ideal for every budget. With that said, try brands such as, MILANI, COVERGIRL AND MAYBELLINE to begin with. Invest in a great brush & Blend, blend, blend, blend!!
DON'T!!!! make the sad mistake like the photos below. Blush is supposed to highlight your cheekbones, not look like you fell in a sea of color.

I LOVE Orange lips on Brown girls!
Wanna try this look but afraid?
Lip Tip: Try a shade in matte form.
It tones down bright colors more
than a shiny lip gloss.
Below, are a few of my favorite shades
in cost efficient brands.
1. MAC's Neon Orange
2. NYX Diamond Sparkle Lipstick Orange
3. Revlon's Orange flip
4. Fashion Fair's Cinnamon Crush
They have beautiful shades for
every brown complexion :)
