Scandalous beauty just did a youtube video on her favorite blushes. So I thought I'd share my favorite ones at the moment.
1)(cheap) NYC bronze mist duo. This is a duo blush/highlight in the same tin. I love this and it's also easy on the pockets. The darker color gives just a hint of color to warm up the face. It's beautiful, especially for darker skin tones. To spice up my look for a night out on the town, I'll add the highlight just on top of the cheek bone for a nice effect. Available at your local Walgreens, Duane Reade, Rite-Aid
2)(cheap) NYX eyeshadow in copper. I saw a blogger yesturday talking about using NYX eyeshadows as blushes and I thought I'd experiment with the ones that I have. The first one was the eyeshadow in Copper and I LOVE IT!!! This eyeshadow doesn't really deposit color, just adds a gorgeous glow to the cheeks. If you are my complexion, a little lighter, or a little darker, I recommend trying this eyeshadow. It was $3 at a local beauty supply store, but NYX.com has a better selection. (That's why this is number 2; not as accessable as the NYC)
3)Mac Mineralized Skin finish blush in Peticoat. This is a go to blush for a night out on the town. This is more of a pinky bronze color and is also amazing when applied wet or onto wet skin. This is a little more expensive than the others mentioned, but it's at least worth the try at the Mac counter.
Take care everybody! Until next time....

Introduction!
Hello beauties. I am a true makeup addict....I'm addicted to youtube tutorials and watch them on the train in NYC. Anyway, I wanted to use this space as a time to discuss makeup and new makeup finds, post tutorials from my youtube channel and get inspiration from other beautiful ladies out there. I am a musician and have to do my own makeup, so this is truly a time for learning. I want to give a shout out to azucurmorena for inspiring me and encouraging me to have more faith in my own work, scandalousbeauty for just challenging both MUA as well as everyday people like myself to think outside the box, makeupgeek for breaking makeup down so regular people can recreate her creations, and missbutterfli's world for creating wearable looks on us brown girls. I love you ladies and hope to meet all of you soon. In the meantime, I hope to gain new friendships through beauties that share the same passion for makeup as I do. Take care and God bless!
Peace.
