Bring the Color back to your Cheeks this Spring

Another awesome article I found on Vogue which is worth sharing..

Spring is the season of color and there has been no dearth of it on the runways or in makeup this season. Strong eyes and lips have been a focal point of several shows. However, the real unsung hero in this story is blush. A delicate touch of color on your cheeks or a gentle contouring of your cheek bones can lend the right support to a perfectly shaped mouth or structured eye look. We put together two runway inspired blush tricks for you to try this season

Beach Bronze : At the Balmain show makeup artist, Tom Pecheux created the perfect beach look by mixing a touch of bronzer with an apricot blush on the model’s cheeks.The right mix of a matte bronzer with a warm colored blush like peach or terracotta gives you the healthy tanned look that looks great paired with messy wavy hair or just a casual braid. The bronzer also made an appearance at Chloe, framing the model’s cheekbones for a very androgynous take on beauty. Vogue.in recommends you use an angled blush brush to dust bronzer along the natural hollow of your cheek for a soft, contoured face.

Pretty in Pink : A delicate flush on your cheeks is the most romantic, never out of style makeup look. But achieving it can be quite the task. The artists at Marc Jacobs and Anna Sui give us great inspiration on how best to DIY. With a fluffy blush brush pick up a hint of pink color and apply to the apples of your cheeks in swirling motions. (Note:The swirling movement evens color out so you are not left looking like you have a patch of color on either sides of your face.) If you choose to combine the subdued cheeks with dewy skin, try a gel or cream blush. With your index and middle finger tap the blush onto your cheeks. Work with very little color at a time and reapply for additional intensity.

I absolutely loved Lara’s cheeks here…they are super glowing.. I would suggest Colorbar Plum Brown blush and Lakme Shimmer bronzer from the Fantasy Collection on the cheeks,collar bone, decolletage and shoulders..
