Costello Tagliapietra S/S 2013 
Nothing like a pink cheek to brighten the day. It’s so dreary and gray outside here in the Pacific Northwest, I’m starting to develop a vampire-like complexion. I like this blush-happy look from Costello Tagliapietra (there was a similar thing going on at Blumarine) for its freshness. 

YSL Crème de Blush in ‘Baby Doll’ ($38 at YSL and Sephora)


The blush I’ve been using for a similar effect (yes, I dab a little on the lids too) is YSL’s Crème de Blush, bar none the best cream blush I’ve used so far. It slides on like silk, with a beautifully matte finish.
