subtly flushed

Reader: I know I should wear blush but it always seems like I’m too “done” for daytime. How do I achieve that subtly flushed look?

Angela: I love blush! It instantly perks you up and keeps you from looking washed out. If you’re not used to wearing it, however, it can seem overdone. The best way to avoid that is to use a cream blush with a light hand and follow by dusting a loose powder over the top. The blush will seem like a natural flush of color peeking through and the powder will help set it so it stays put.

  • The latest from Angela
I have been a beauty junkie for what seems like forever, but before I did anything about it, I went to law school. (Yes, my life is a little like the reverse of Legally Blonde.) Then, I worked as a prosecutor in Sonoma County after which I moved to the DC area with my husband in ’97. I served as Majority Counsel to the Senate Banking Committee followed by a year-long stint at a lobbying firm. You get the picture. It was then that I decided to act on my dream of becoming an entrepreneur. Finding my favorite beauty products proved to be impossible without stepping foot in a mall–the horror. So, I decided to bring my favorites to Alexandria. A few trips to New York and a flight to France and Bellacara was born in March 2000.
