“This season is more about peach,” says makeup artist Tom Pécheux, who used the soft color at Hermès and Derek Lam. “It gives you the appearance of being a bit made-up without looking too girly or bronzy.” Because peach powder contains strong pigments, Pécheux suggests using a light hand to apply one swipe of blush a little below your apples so it doesn’t look too doll-like.

Bit of sunshine can do wonders for your mood and a light tan can make you look healthier and slimmer. The bronzers will keep your skin looking clear, with a healthy and natural glow.

Useful Tips:

• Remember: bronzers usually wash off when you take a shower and they dont affect your skin color at all.
• Too dark shades may look unnatural.
• If you want to make your skin luminous, look for products with a subtle shimmer.
• Keep your foundation to a minimum if you wear bronzer on your face, otherwise your complexion may look too orange.
• Remember: if you apply the bronzer unevenly you can make your skin appear “dirty“.
• Make sure your bronzer is not too heavy.
• Bronzers come in liquids, creams, powders, sticks, beads, mousses.
• If you use a powder bronzer apply it with a big, round brush.
• Never overdo it your skin will look unnatural and “dirty“.
• Always apply the bronzer on areas where the sun usually hits.

Here are some tips for how to apply blush.

1. First choose the color using nature as your guide. According to InStyle, the trick is to find a color that matches your cheeks when they’re flushed after exercise or being out in the cold. For a quick test, ’spank’ your cheeks & use the resulting color as a guide. (We suggest doing this in the comfrot of your home away from other people, wink). Another trick is to match your lip color. Fair skin looks great in rose, olive in peach & dark skin in apricot or even red.
2. Now that you have the color, choose the right formula for your skin type. Powder is typically best for oily & combo skin. Cream is great for dry skin. Liquid and gel are great for oily skin. For even better results, combine cream & powder together. “It helps my blush stay on longer & looks more luminous,” said makeup artist Laura Mercier in O Magazine . Keep in mind stains — great for well-moisturized skin, not dry skin — tend to dry very fast so blend well & fast.
3. Apply foundation, eye color & lipstick. While blush is usually your 2nd-to-last makeup step (before powder), you should experiment with what works best for you. Some makeup artists like to apply blush BEFORE foundation for a more ‘natural’ look.
4. Throw out the freebie ‘Barbie-size’ blush brush that comes with the blush. Use a professional full brush instead, but don’t use the same brush you use for your powder.
5. Put the blush on your brush, tapping off any excess or put a dab of gel on your fingers.
6. Look into the mirror and smile. This helps you figure out where the ‘apple’ of your cheek is.
