Au Revoir!

Now that your skin looks better than ever, turn the page and learn how to get a pretty flush worthy of your new complexion.

chapter six: cheek to cheek

Did you know that Diana Vreeland, the legendary editor in chief of Vogue magazine, wore red rouge on her temples, cheeks, and earlobes? She was not bashful about blush, to say the least. Talk about individual! You may not want to steal her look, but you have to admire her spirit. In comparison, my approach to blush is fairly straightforward. Since nothing gives you a sense of youthfulness and the appearance of health the way your cheeks do, I gravitate toward a look that is pretty, natural-looking, and often glowing. After all, the cheeks represent the two largest areas on your face, so they’re something people notice.

Beautifully made-up cheeks are an integral component of The Flawless Face because they’re not an accessory in the way eyes and lips are. Consider them a basic for your face, much in the way a white shirt or a great black jacket complements a brightly colored bag or bold piece of jewelry. Whether I do major eyes and lips or nude eyes and clear gloss, I always apply color to the cheeks, from barely there to fully flushed. If you don’t apply any color to your cheeks, then you can look washed out.
