BEAUTY HOW-TO: BLUSH
Ladies, Let’s talk about blush. It’s cute. It’s sexy. It’s necessary – not in a strict sense, like eyeliner, but necessary if you want to look alive. You do. If you tend not to wear blush, and still look more or less hot, you’re lucky. The blood in your face is doing all the work...
