Ace of the Face: Cheeks

Accenting your cheeks and cheekbones can give truly a gorgeous, radiant glow. So here is my Pretty Little version of the Allure's Best of Beauty List...minus all the expensive products.

These products are actual AFFORDABLE, DRUGSTORE brands that won't break the bank.

POWDER BLUSH:

Maybelline Fit Me Blush

It's your perfect, regular, everyday blush. Beautiful colors consist of colors that will fit anyone(:

CREAM BLUSH

NYC Blushable Creme Stick

Easy to apply, beautiful colors, and super quick to apply. These blush creme sticks are cheap too...their only $4. They have 6 colors; but they all suit every beautiful tone.

P.S. Need blush but don't have any? Well try taking your average red lipstick and just tap a teeennyy tiny bit on your cheeks. There you go..the same effect!

HIGHLIGHTER

Wet 'n Wild Mega-Glo Illuminating Powder

This amazing illuminating powder (highlighter) is great for your regular highlights at the cheekbones, brow bone, the nose, and the cupid's bow (upper lip). Amazing powder...at a price you can't beat(:

P.S. You can also use your regular eyeshadow for highlighting(:

FACIAL SELF- TANNER

Loreal Sublime Bronze Self - Tanning Lotion

I'll be honest to you guys...I'm not the best person to talk to about tanning. I actually have an olive - ish skin tone; so I don't tan at all (or use self tanning). However, my friend Lauren does; and she always uses this in the summer. So this one was all thanks to Lauren(:

And if you are looking for a "gradual" tan; try the Jergens Natural Glow lotions.

BRONZER

NYC Sun 2 Sun Bronzing Powder

This has been really popular (several great ratings) and it gets a great rating from me (and Lauren! :D ) . It's pretty cheap compared to other brands; and it's your simple, basic bronzing powder that does it's job. Everyone's skin tone changes throughout the year; so you have 2 shades to keep your covered (: How awesome?

P.S. Here is a "guide" to bronzing powder: http://tsorain.blogspot.com/2010/11/touch-of-gold-defining-cheekbones.html

I hope this helps! (I know...this one was short!)
