Flushed Look...

Many of you sent me emails asking for an alternative to the Smashbox O-Glow I posted about the other day.  Some of you said you tried it and it looked way too pink, too bright etc etc.  I can see how this product may not work on extremely fair skin.  Kristen over at Beauty Addict said, "For This Girl, O-Glow=Day Glo..." Yikes!!  Well not to fear ladies, there is a solution.

Tarte's Cheek Stain. This one is a water based gel stick that pushes up like candy.  Comes in 7 different shades and they alll have a subtle fruity scent too.  My favorites are Ticked, Flush and Blushing Bride.

Another alternative is Smashbox's sheer cheek tint called Skin Tint.  Although the colors look slightly frightening in the tube, they are actually extremely sheer.  The stick is water based and contains vitamins A, C, E, aloe, and echinacea to nourish skin while creating that flushed look that is so popular without being overdone.  I like Ultraviolet, Infrared and Heat.

Either one of these will give you a subtle flushed look without going overboard...

Blush Pretty!

Does this stuff have any effect on medium-toned black women? I'm just a bit darker than honey -- but I see women "browner" than myself pulling off a blushed cheek that looks great.
I see on Sephora's site they say the Smashbox O-Glow works on all skin tones.
