I’ve just been diving into this week’s beauty blogs, and natural beauty expert Christy Coleman has a post about runway trends from this summer to try. Usually, I would never even bother imitating model looks; I have my ways I like my makeup, and I don’t really change them much. But fancy that two of the new looks—rosy cheeks and hot pink lips—are totally easy to replicate with one of my favorite products, Rosie Jane Cheek Gloss in Rose. Now, I can’t speak to this product’s green-ness, I’ll say that first off (and Coleman recommends a great natural option), but I just love Rosie Jane’s makeup. The cheek gloss is in a tiny compact with a mirror, so it fits in a purse bag with your lip balm or nail file or whatever, and is a perfect dewy pink me up for skin any time. Rosy cheeks add freshness and glow—the makeup artist who invented the line was mimicking those glow-y cheeks of 30s actresses. And amazingly, the color lasts a long time, both on your skin and in the package. A little really does go a long way. I rub my finger lightly in the compact, then pat each cheek and massage in to blend. That’s it. And if you’re liner challenged, try her Eye Defines. These pencils are rectangular and don’t have to be sharpened; the formula smoothly applies in a neat line and doesn’t look harsh.
