I love blushes, I remember the first beauty product I ever tried was this fashion fair blush in like a dark red color that my mom had. I know a lot of women of color, especially black women fear the blush. Mostly because so many people put it on wrong, or put to much on without blending it out. I mean have you seen the way Little Kim looks lately, I don’t know who does her makeup but she should fire them pronto.

Putting on blush should not put you into a panic attack, it should make you feel like you have a beautiful natural flush from within. I will admit, I have had moments where I put to much on and went outside looking like boo boo the clown. To be honest everyone has had a moment when their makeup didn’t look like they thought it did (practice makes perfect). You know what I learned from it and learned to put it on with a light hand, a little bit at a time to build-up to the intensity I want it to be at. To apply my blush, I use a blush brush from Eco tools to lightly pack on the color.  

Mac Coppertone

If you have money to burn and want to invest in a highly pigmented blush that also falls in the orange family then go ahead and scoop up Nars Taj Mahl  $28.00. It is described as a burnt orange color. I have seen many reviews for this product on Youtube and finally spent the money to purchase it. I am glad I did though, its a beautiful color on the skin. Another orange looking color is Mac Coppertone, which is hands down my favorite blush and I try to wear it all the time.
