Lower the Red Flags!


Yeah, that's right! Lower!

So let's be honest, my face shape changes throughout the year with the slighest gain or loss of weight. I notice this most with blush because I put on blush automatically and all of a sudden -- it doesn't look good in THAT spot anymore! So I experiment. A little higher, more to the side, closer to the eyes, lower...

And looking at these pictures makes me want to try going lower. See what happens. It certainly makes her skin glow...in a sophisticated, adult way. NOT like a kewpie doll.

This would probably be easiest to pull off with a cream blush or a
sheer cheek stain. Cheek stains can be tricky, so if you want,
dipping a finger in water before using the stain
makes everything even sheerer and goof-proof.
Plus, you can lightly blend foundation over some
spots that you got a little too enthusiastic with color.

About Me

A twenty-something who refuses to waste 4 years of training as a Comparative Literature-ist just because it is now time to be a Landscape Architect. Old books were recycled as door stops and wall insulation. Delightfully obtuse philological arguments were dusted off and re-used as noveau swear words. Now it's time to put that skill of connecting ridiculously different ideas together and making them fizz. Feel free to comment and join in on the fun!
