Pink Blush is the hottest beauty trend this week. Pink colors are always a great color for summer nights and days. Look naturally beautiful this summer with a flush of pink color to your cheeks. You can go for two hot looks this season naturally flushed or bold and sexy. My favorite makeup brands for pink blush this summer are Tarte and of course O Glow from Smashbox Cosmetics. For a slight flush to your skin mix cream blush with moisturizer, blend in the middle of your cheeks and you’ll get an instant sexy glowing flush. If you have oily skin use pink powder for a great summer look that will last in the heat.

“Beauty Trend of the Week Matte Foundation”

This week’s beauty trend is matte foundation. This spring is all about matte foundation, no shiny t-zone or foreheads. It’s all about natural matte complexions. Glowing dewy skin is more for summer months. For the prefect natural matte finish you can use matte foundation and matte powder. I’m in love with Make Up For Ever for a natural matte look. If you have combination or oily skin you can use a oil absorbing moisturizer before putting on your primer. A primer is key to a beautiful matte complexion. Make sure you pay close attention to your t-zone. When applying your powder be sure to use a brush, this will provide a flawless cake free complexion that is natural. You can re touch throughout the day with blotting sheets, and translucent powder if you need too.

” Smokey Eyes”

“Smokey eyes” is sultry makeup that is sure to get you noticed and draw attention to any set of eyes. Dramatic and smokey eyes are very popular for fall 2007 and winter 2007 and winter 2008. Many of my readers are asking how they can achieve the perfect smokey eye look. So today you can learn exactly how to get hot smokey eyes with these tips, plus tips to stop your eye makeup from running. Every girls enemy is raccoon eyes.

One of my favorite celebrity smokey eyes is Nicole Scherzinger from the pussy cat dolls. Her smokey eyes always look flawless. She is a prime explame of perfect smokey eyes.

“Smokey Eye Tips”

1. Always start your smokey eyes or any eye makeup by applying foundation first. This helps prevent the racoon effect.

2. Next you want to begin with a sheer nude color all over your eye. Always pick a color closest to your natural shade, and begin putting the color all over from your lid to your brow bone.

3. Then you are going to apply either a plum or dark brown eyeshadow from your lid to your crease. (PLUM WORKS BEST ON LIGHTER COMPLEXIONS). Try to use a cream shadow since it smudges easier than powder. You can apply the color with your fingers or a makeup brush.

5. After that you’re going to line your entire eye with either a plum or dark color depending on your complexion. Darker complexions work very well with black and brown while lighter skin works better with plum. It all depends on how much attention you want with your smokey eye look. Line your eyes with the pencil color of your choice. For even more of a dramatic effect don’t forget to line your inner rims of you eye.

5. To really open your eyes use your eye curler to curl you eyelashes. To create even more of a curl blast the curler with the blow dryer for a few seconds, and then curl your lashes. Next use two to three coats of mascara.

6. For more sparkle add a silver shadow to the inner corners of your eyes.

(NOTE: IF YOU PLAN ON FILLING IN YOUR BROWS DO SO AFTER APPLYING YOUR EYE MAKEUP)

Makeup tips to stop raccoon eyes

1. Always use a tissue folded in half right below your eye to catch any shadow that falls.

2. Use white translucent powder below the eyes and dust off after applying your eye makeup. This will also help catch any fallen shadow.

3. When you’re done applying your eye makeup use a concealer brush to clean up any. Take your brush and dab some foundation of loose powder under your eyes.
