Mariah Carey's flawless yet carefree look.

Blush gives your cheeks a rosy glow and instantly brightens your complexion, while making you look younger. To have beautiful rosy cheeks proper application is essential. Mariah Carey had quite the rosy glow while walking around in Aspen on December 21^st.

The 41-year-old mother-of-2 dabbed on the blush to complement her seasonal style as she stepped out trussed up in a stylish cape teamed with black leggings and her suede brown boots.

To achieve the look, apply a thin layer of your favorite moisturizer onto freshly rinsed skin. If you use powder or mineral foundation, the blush you use should be the same texture. Cream blush should only be used with a liquid or cream foundation and powder foundation with a powder blush. I For a rosy blush powder try Mary Kay’s Winter Rose Cheek Color Blush.  For a liquid blush Sonia Kashuk’s Super Sheer Liquid Tint Blush is always a great option.

1. Spray on Skindinavia to keep your makeup look lasting from day to night.
2. Tap or lightly blow on the applicator brush to remove any excess blush before applying to prevent a harsh and uneven application.
3. Apply your blush on the apple of the cheek and carefully blend towards your natural hairline.
4. so there is no visible line between colors.
5. Highlight your temples, forehead and chin.

Jessica Biel's romantic pink lipstick is perfect for Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day is here, so we thought we ‘d give you some proper primping tips to guarantee you’re looking lovely on your big night.

Right now, we’re absolutely loving pink lipstick paired with minimal face and eye makeup. The look is less expected than the classic red lip, but packs a striking punch. It’s flattering on most every complexion. The best part? It’s easy to pull off and perfect for Valentine’s day!

Just look how gorgeous Jessica Biel looks with a simple, romantic splash of pink. The color is perfect on her skin tone and looks so light and refreshing. The key to pull off this fabulous look is to keep everything besides the lip simple. This means no dramatic eye makeup and definitely go light on the blush! Line your lips with a neutral liner and fill in with your choice of lipstick. Blot with a tissue and reapply. For added drama, apply a tiny bit of highlighter in the center of your lower lip. It’s an old makeup artists’ trick for making the lips appear more voluptuous. Here are some perfect shades to try:

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Candy Pink ($6.49)

Mac Lipstick Pink Nouveau ($15)

Nars Carthage  ($25)

Kyle Richards has a perfect eyebrow shape for her face

Kyle Richards has a Brooke Shields look going with her big eyebrows that match her face perfectly. Eyebrows can make or break your entire look. Because they shape your face, they can make your eyes look tired when you’re not, or make you look mad when, in fact, you’re not, or just make you look plain creepy. This is why it’s necessary to be very careful when cleaning up your own brows.

Here are the common mistakes most women make when it comes to grooming their own eyebrows. If you’re guilty of any of them, don’t freak out, you can work to correct them in no time with these tips.

1. Misplacing your arch. Many women create an arch in their brows that is too close to the center of their eye, which causes a furrowed look. To fix it, let your brows grow back in. Then the next time you tweeze, grab a pencil and hold it parallel to the outer edge of your iris. The point where the pencil hits your brow is where your arch should be.
2. Tweezing too often. Tweezing every day is too much. Instead, plan to tweeze your brows once every three weeks.
3. Using a magnifying mirror when plucking. If you can’t see the hair in a regular mirror, then neither can anyone else and you’ll end up over tweezing.  Use a regular mirror and make sure you have good, natural light when tweezing.
4. Tweezing more than one hair at a time. Though it may seem like a time-saver, plucking more than one hair is dangerous because you’ll be more likely to create holes in your brows. Every single hair you pull should be one that you have thoughtfully decided needs to go.
5. Trimming too much. If you trim many hairs at once and trim them too short, you’ll likely end up with bald areas. Brush the inner portion of your brows up and trim only hairs that are longer than the rest, one at a time. Brush the outer portion of your brows down and do the same.

New Year’s Eve has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, looking forward to the coming year. It’s a time to reflect on the changes we want to make and resolve to follow through on those changes. Many do not always follow through on NYE resolutions but here are 5 beauty tips that are so easy you can actually keep!

1. Get our your hot rollers. This year’s glam retro styles like Elizabeth Bank’s Hollywood glam curls are easy to create with a classic styling tool: hot rollers.
2. Commit to a skin care regimen. Your skin will thank you! If you can’t wash your face before bed, use a makeup removing exfoliating wipe like Almay’s Makeup Remover pads.
3. De-clutter your makeup bag. If you haven’t used a product or tool in a month, toss it. Instead of carrying around two, three (or 10) pink glosses, keep only the one you reach for most.
4. Pick a perfect shade of foundation. A natural-looking base is key because it sets the stage for the rest of your makeup. Pinpoint your best match by testing colors on your jaw line.
5. Resolve to touch-up less! Layering on powders and concealer throughout the day keeps your skin from breathing and it’s heavy on the wallet. Invest in long-wear makeup and a setting spray (hey, we love Skindinavia’s Original Makeup Finishing Spray!) to keep skin fresh and glowy throughout the year.
