One of my favorite blushes! (I've never actually used the Cheek Stain in Flush, but I have Blushing Bride.) Anyway, it applies easily--either straight from the stick or with your fingertips--and doesn't come off. You can adjust the level of color by how many layers your apply. Just make sure you blend it out with your fingers right after you put it on your cheek because it sets quickly. It looks so sheer and natural and it's a great choice for summer since it won't budge or melt away. Another little bonus is that each shade is scented.

This little guy is so amazing that he has won the title of "The Perfect Flush" by several fashion magazines and websites. A favorite of celebrity makeup artists, the shade appropriately named "Flush" lives up to its title, giving the face an "I have a date with a really cute boy" look. Just this past weekend, I used "Blushing Bride" on (you guessed it) a blushing bride, and it was just the right amount of color to complement her bridal makeup without making her look like she had her face done at Truvy's Beauty Shop in Steel Magnolias.

OK, so we now know that this stuff rocks my socks, but did I also mention that it makes my life an easy and joyous place to be? First and foremost, there is no brush needed to apply this simple to work with gel, and your fingers don't have to get all stained from blending it in. Just a little dab on both cheeks straight from the tube and voila! Hello post-sex happy face! Stash the container in your purse for a quick touchup later in the day (although it's so lasting you probably won't need it).
