Spring Makeup Trends Part 3 — Pink Blush
I love the Spring 2007 makeup trends. They are wearable and reasonable. Trend #1 that I wrote about was the heavy metal influence. Wearable metallic eye shadows. Spring makeup Trend #2 was a bold lip. Now, mind you, each trend isn’t meant to be worn all at once. You would definitely be a victim for the makeup police. And remember, trends are just that — fleeting. So take your pick and wear it well.
There is no better way to look fresh for spring than to add a touch of blush to the apples of your cheeks. And fortunatley, pink blush is a easy-to-apply spring trend. Makeup brands are behind this trend, as well as designers. The flushed pink cheek was seen on runways and is being featured in spring editorial makeup. Michael Kors models sported a clean fresh face that featured pink cheeks.
Carol Shaw, founder of Lorac features a soft pink cheek using her Cheek Stamp blush in Hibiscus (glimmering rose) or Pink Paradise (vibrant pink).
The pink cheeck interpreted by Lorac. Notice the soft pink lips and soft pastel shadows that compliment the soft flush of pink on the cheeks.
Bobbi Brown, the Grand Dame of natural beauty also does the pink cheek justice. Again, notice the soft eyes and mouth that accompanies this makeup trend of soft pink blush.
Long time frangrance house Guerlain does the updated pink cheek in it’s spring makeup collection.
My favorite pink blushes:
NARS Desire blush A yummy cotton candy pink. Perfect for porcelain to medium skin tones. Nars blush in Sin is ideal for deeper skin tones, olive to chocolate.
Laura Geller Pink Grapefruit Baked Blush — a sheer pink with golden luminescent light diffusers. Good for all skin tones, light to deep.
Cargo blush in Catalina for all skins tones. Lyon for deeper tones.
Smashbox blush Radiance (radiant fuschia) — perks up all skin tones, in particular deeper tones.
MAC Powder Blush in Desirious or Frankly Scarlett. Both are awesome on all skins.
Flushed pink cheeks are a HOT Spring makeup trend!

Hey Tracey,
I was checking out your blog and enjoy many of your perspectives, especially on current trends. I just got an advance copy of Carmindy’s new book “The 5 Minute Face” (she’s the makeup artist on “What Not to Wear”). It is awesome! She includes some fantastic tips, including lots of ways to use products I already own. Definitely check it out when it’s released in a few weeks!

Have you heard of a cosmetic line from Australia called Bloom or Pure Make up from Spain? I have seen both in my travels but do not know where to find them in North America.

Bloom Cosmetics is an Australian brand, you can find more information on http://www.bloomcosmetics.com/ , if you click on stockists you’ll get a listing of all the store that carry their products in the USA along with the phone numbers. Hope this helped.
