A touch of blush on the apples of your cheeks can give you a healthful, well-rested appearance (even if you're reaching for the Red Bull). But all too often, it’s the first thing to rub off as soon as you get outside. You don’t want to pile it on and end up with scary clown cheeks.

Adhere to this how-to guide for perfect blushing from Joanne Hwang, National Makeup Artist for Becca Cosmetics:

Meow! Cheetah Girl (and former 3LW member) Adrienne Bailón looked positively purr-fect with her impeccable tan at a recent Absolut party. How did she get the look? She might have spent a week in either Puerto Rico or Ecuador, which are the home countries of her parents...or maybe it was that weekend in Vegas she recently spent with maybe-husband Rob Kardashian.

The Perfect Warm-Weather Concealer

By Shani Saxon-Parrish | 04/21/2008 - 20:50 |

When the weather warms up, facial oils are often released, and foundations and powders can easily slide off. And who wants heavy make-up face, anyway? Chanel’s Quick Cover Concealer or Nars concealer enriched with Vitamin E evens out skin tone in a mere fraction of the time that foundation does. Just dab on any discolored spots, like those dreadful dark circles under and around your eyes, the pesky acne scars on your nose, chin, or cheeks, or wherever, and blend well. Top with some subtle bronzer or blush, and you’re all set for the day!
