Get Cheeky

Blush or cheek colors can give your face quite the statement. Whether you are wearing a subtle or bold color, blush can complete any look. Blush adds a glow to the face, contours and defines the cheeks and adds natural looking definition. When used properly for your face, blush can make the face appear fuller and more elongated. Blush will add radiance to any woman’s cheeks.

Jane Iredale In Touch Cream Blush in Charisma is easy to apply and gives a lasting berry finish to the cheek bones. This product is so versatile it can be used over or under your mineral foundation and comes in three fun shades.

For a more defined cheek bone, try applying two different blush shades like gloMinerals gloBlush Duo – Petunia. Two colors make it easy to customize and convenient for easy makeup application.

Paula Dorf Cheek Color Cream in Tempo blends just right to give you that natural looking glow. This color is perfect for a soft finish that allows your natural beauty to shine through.

Mattify Oily Skin

Facial oil, or sebum, is produced from the sebaceous glands to protect and provide a barrier on the skin. Although oil production is necessary, excessive oil production can be difficult to deal with and maintain. Many of today’s mattifying products will help to eliminate and absorb excess oil that is being produced.

Jane Iredale PureMatte Finish Powder is great under or over a mineral makeup base to help slow oil during the day and keep you shine-free. This product can be used alone or with your regular makeup products, and can be reapplied throughout the day as necessary.

Sun protection during the day is vital for all skin types. Using a mattifying sunscreen is great for oily skin to avoid that greasy feeling that many sunscreens have. DDF Matte Finish Photo-Age Protection SPF 30 is oil-free, and absorbs easily to provide an excellent barrier against sun damage. Not only does this protect against photo-damage, it contains 11 antioxidants to fight free radical damage.

Corn starch is a great active ingredient to absorb excess oil that accumulates on the face during the day. Aroma Purete – Matifying Powdered Blotting Papers from Decleor utilize this unique ingredient to remove unwanted oil as well as provide a powder base to the skin to reduce oil production.

Jane Iredale Moonglow Bronzer is ideal for all skin types and undertone as it combines four unique shades with just the perfect amount of shimmer, giving your skin the luminescence you may be lacking. Plus, this mineral bronzer can be used as eye shadow, lip color or on the body.

Looking to add a bit more cheek bone to your features? Try Kissed by the Sun Bronzer w/Brush from Colorescience. Start by applying a small amount of color directly at the cheek bone and add color as needed. Next blend the color upwards and out to define the cheeks.
