In honor of Summer I put together a series featuring my version and thoughts about the no makeup look, entitled "The No Makeup Look," of course :) This post will be the first installment and its focus, you guessed it, is on the natural cheek. Now, the whole natural cheek look depends on your particular skin tone, for example, I am light to light-medium in complexion with a yellow undertone and some splotchy, red areas on my cheek, around my nose and on my chin. In order for my skin to appear to have a healthy flush when I'm wearing minimal makeup I choose to use a cream formula that isn't too bright, too pink and is shimmer free. The following products are the colors that work for my skin tone (for reference: MAC NC20) and I decided to include a powder formula as well because I do use that on days when I can't bother blending out a cream :) All these colors are a nudey, fleshy pink and are shimmer free:
NYX Stick Blush in 05 Tea Rose
Tarte Amazonian Clay Powder Blush in Exposed
Stila Convertible Color in 3 Peony
