Rosy Cheeks

From makeup guru Bobbi Brown in Prevention magazine

Dropping weight changes your face’s shape and your skin’s appearance. When your face was fuller, you may have used blush or bronzer to contour, slim, and elongate your face. Now that you’re thinner, it’s suitable - and more flattering - to instead swipe blush or bronzer directly onto the apples of your cheeks and diffuse to your hairline like a natural flush.

Because fat can fill out - and plump up - sagging skin, wrinkles might also seem more noticeable. The fix: Dust powder only where needed and avoid pancaking areas that have fine lines. Also, select cream formulas, which wn’t crease or settle into wrinkles.

I tried the blush tip - and it’s true! I had noticed that my old way of applying blush wasn’t looking quite right…couldn’t figure out what was wrong. But she’s right, putting the blush on the apples of my cheeks looks MUCH better! :grin:
