Confessions of a Beauty Addict: "Everything's Rosey" Part 2 of 3

Pink is great. I think most girls would agree. On this gray day in New England, I can think of no better way to brighten the day than a 3 part, pink spectacular. Here's a simple, pink inspired makeup idea.

1. Moisturize! It's so important to moisturize, it keeps your skin happy. I like Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. It's fragrance free, light, absorbs quickly, and is non-irritating.

2. Since spring is here, and summer is just around the corner, try a tinted moisturizer for a light coverage that lets your natural skin shine through. I used Aveeno's Positively Radiant Tinted Moisturizer: medium.

3. Add a little sheer color on the cheeks. I'm a big fan of theBalm Staniac: Beauty Queen. Gives just a touch of long-lasting sheer color, is totally buildable and can also be used on the lips for a stain. Keep it handy, we'll use it again.

4. Once that sets give your cheeks, and the spots that the sun would naturally hit, a gentle dusting of some bronzer. I used theBalm Bahama Mama Bronzer. It's light, matte, and buildable, making it universally flattering for most, if not all, skin tones.

5. Finish with a pinky peach blush applied with a light hand. theBalm's Frat Boy is a perfect natural looking pink that gives you the perfect blush of color. Keep it out, we'll use it again.

6. Keep the eyes super simple. I used an earthy gray-tone as a base, theBalm's Just This Once Jamie and then I used my blush Frat Boy on top to warm up the color. This ties in really nicely with the pink tones in the face. I used a thin line of dark brown liner to define the eyes.

7. Here's where the Staniac comes into play again, (you can use any pink stain you feel like... Revlon Just Bitten has a shade of pink that will give you a similar effect). Apply it to your lips, you can build color or just do a single application; either way it will give your lip color come staying power. I finished with theBalm's AutoBalm: Posthaste. It's a pretty, slightly iridescent pink, that really enhances your lips nicely. theBalm has some fantastic, non-sticky lip glosses, but you can use any pink gloss that you like.

This whole look is super easy to pull off and only takes like, 15 minutes tops. You can really swap out any of the products I used with your favorite products. The key is a light hand and BLENDING for a natural overall look.
