Spring Flush - Finding the Right Blush for your Skin Tone


We all want that perfect flush for spring, you know the one... it looks like you just worked out and your skin is glowing and your cheeks are just slightly blushing. Finding the right blush color can be tricky. You want it to look natural as opposed to looking like you found some clown makeup in your Halloween box. We have a great variety of blushes to choose from and we broke them down to show you which ones are the perfect fit for your skin tone! Now you can look like you just worked out, even if you were actually binge watching Fuller House on Netflix.

Before we get to the breakdown, let's first figure out what skin tone you are.

If your coloring resembles that of Nicole Kidman you are FAIR. You burn easily without sun protection and have a creamy or subtle pink undertone.

If you feel like your coloring resembles Emma Stone you are a LIGHT skin tone. Light skin tones tend to have a neutral undertone (creamy peach, not quite cool, not quite warm).

If your coloring is similar to Jessica Alba's your are a MEDIUM skin tone. Medium tones can be cool or warm in undertone. If your skin is warm like honey, you are warm. If it is peach or pink your are cool.

If your coloring is like Alfre Woodard you are MEDIUM-DARK. Your undertone may be closer to plum or red (cool) or yellow (warm).

Alright, let's find your perfect blush:


Poppy, Summer Rose and Tulip - Medium - Dark skin tones: These bright blushes pack some serious depth which look incredibly natural and gorgeous on medium and dark tones. Poppy and Tulip are great for cooler undertones while Summer Rose is perfect for warmer undertones.

Nude Bliss, Summer Rose and Crushed Coral are lovely choices for fair to light skin tones. Crushed Coral has a peachy undertone which looks gorgeous on all undertones fair - light. Nude Bliss will warm up a cool undertone and Summer Rose will add a shimmery glow to warm undertones.

Plum Blossom, Pink Pearl and Peony are great picks for light to medium skin tones. Plum Blossom will compliment cool undertones while Pink Pearl and Peony compliment warm undertones.

South Beach Bronzer - This bronzer will add warmth and dimension to those with fair to medium undertones. This bronzer makes for a great highlighter for those with dark skin tones.

There we have it, the perfect pairing for your spring flush!

Trash Talk: When to toss your makeup!


Raise your hand if you are a makeup hoarder! It's safe to say that throwing away makeup feels like a mortal sin (maybe an exaggeration?!?), but seeing a half used blush from 1984 go into the trash creates a pang sadness, what if you throw it away and decide one night that you need it to complete your look but that shade has been discontinued for years and you can't find one like it...gasp... THE HORROR!!!  We get it, makeup can be quite an attachment to a lot of women, it holds your personality, expression, and memories. BUT, there does come a time when your makeup needs to be tossed. So let's call this an intervention of sorts, a PSA if you will. All makeup has an expiration date!

Why do you need to toss expired makeup? As makeup ages, it looses its efficacy, and anti-microbial power, which means bacteria could be building up in your products. So when do you toss the goods?Each product you use has a Point After Opening guideline, meaning once you open and start using the product, that is when your "toss it" count down begins.


Powder Products (Pressed Base, Loose Base, Setting Powder etc). - Powders have the longest shelf life due to their lack of water. Keep your powders in a cool dry place to prolong their life span. 
Liquid Foundations and Concealers - Liquid products should be tossed within a year. 
Blush and Bronzers - Just like your Pressed Base, these can go the distance! 
Lip Products - Once 12 months hits it's time to say, "So long!". 
Eyeliner and Mascara - Liquid Eyeliner, Pencils, and Gels as well as Mascara needs to be tossed and replaced every 3 months. We can't stress this one enough, using an old eye product could really do some damage to your peepers, so keep em' clean! 
Eyeshadows - We like to say 12 months on your shadows, but they could last up to 24 months, just be sure to keep them clean, dry, and to yourself! 
If you are not sure if your makeup is ready for the trash or not give it the sniff test. If your makeup smells rancid (kind of like musky dust) toss it. We also like to write the date we open our product on the bottom label as a reminder. 
We know it's hard to part with your precious makeup, but it may be time for a clean out, so put on your big girl pants and get to cleaning!
