A blush can give you that healthy look but only if you pick the right shade. A neutral shade of blush that wont clash with your lipstick is the ultimate makeupbag workhorse. It creates a natural glow and leaves u feeling awake and refreshed. The lighter your skin, the paler your blush should be. Remember; your blsuh should not be overdone. Add a little bit of Bronzer to give your face a sun-kissed glow. Don't just bronze your cheeks, make sure you also get the sides of your nose, your forehead and your chin to give yourself an all-over, natural-looking tan.
