Spring is here with blossoms blooming!




Hello my sweet chickadees! Spring is here! How do I know this in New York City? A subway conductor engaged in conversation, a New Yorker told me to have a nice day, a post office employee smiled, my dignity remained in tact squished on the express train.

Ah yes, and the blossoms are blooming a sweet pink color all over the city. Spectacular! And so are you. So let's get started helping us all get that fantastic pink perfection for ourselves, shall we?

Four products to give you a pinky glow this spring.

POWDER ME PRETTY PLEASE!



Two powder products to rid yourself of the ruddy winter dull-skindrums and introduce a fantastic glow are both by BENEFIT. One of my favorite make-up lines for those who love to look refreshed but hate looking like you are wearing make-up. I loves me my HOOLA powder over my foundation. A little or a lot, this bronzing powder eliminates any signs of pale face and will give you that slight touch of color to make your eyes pop and your memories of winter white begone! DANDELION BY BENEFIT is another great pick me up all over face powder in 'ballerina pink'. I use it in tandem with HOOLA. It gives you a radiant look I like to call the "Big O". You get the picture. Wink, wink.


CHEEKY CHEEKS!

Hail Smashbox for their fantastic highlighting powders. I particularly love their SOFT LIGHTS PRISM color I place on the top of my cheekbones with a big fat brush and gives you that "just pinched" cheek. To finish your look there is a secret I have used for years to highlight my features and hide my flaws. It's MAC's CREAM COLORED HUSH. It's a very versatile product with multiple purposes. It can be applied either directly to your skin or on top of powder or foundation. Apply with brush, sponge or fingers it can offer a highlighted look or be quite dramatic for night. For special events where I tend to be photographed I place a line down my nose and on the balls of my cheeks to create the illusion my nose is narrower and my cheeks are higher. It can be used on browbone, eyes, nose, cheeks, lips. It gives a soft dewy glow all the while highlighting and hiding, pending on where you brush it on.

So there you have it my sweet peeps, all the tricks of the trade to match the beauty of the blossoms outside! Happy Spring my loves!
