Makeup tip: All You Need is Color!


Late nights and early mornings call for one thing from your makeup routine – color! A flush on your cheeks hides a multitude of busy mommy-to-be sins. The fastest way to achieve this is to start by applying your normal base layer – whether a tinted moisturizer or simply a dust of skin even-ing powder. Then swipe a sheer, nice quality bronzer (like Guerlain’s Terracota) in the backwards shape of a “3” from your temple down and just under your cheek bones and then down to your jawline. This creates the illusion of definition and adds a dash of polish. Then dust a splash of a peachy pink blush on the apples of your cheeks. A great color is Benefit Dandelion. Add some tinted gloss on your pucker, and you look like you just stepped off a cruise ship, not the late-pregnancy insomnia train.
