Ok, so I felt kinda bad about ragging on Miley's makeup yesterday, so I thought I'd post something nice about her today to balance out my karma. This photo is from the Oscars or the Emmys or some awards show that I didn't know why she was attending (oops, I am supposed to be saying nice things, huh?), and although I questioned her presence at whatever event this was, I do have to say, I love her makeup. She looks totally fresh-faced here, very feminine and yet glamorous, too. The blush is great (this is a difficult skill to master!) and I love that she isn't too heavy on the eye makeup since she's wearing red lips. It's important to remember to keep the drama to one part of your face - like if you are doing dramatic or smokey eyes, you'll want to steer clear of bold, dark lips, or else you run the risk of looking like a clown or a showgirl. Since Miley is doing a bolder lip here, she kept the eye makeup simple and it really works well. She looks her age (yahoooo!!) AND her makeup is totally appropriate for the event she's attending. Love it!!
To get that glowing look she's rocking, pick a more red-toned blush, but apply it VERY LIGHTLY - trust me, a little blush goes a long, LONG way - to the "apple" of your cheek, and brush upwards towards your ears. In case you are wondering, the apple of your cheek is easily found by smiling. Feel that fleshy part where it's most rounded out? That's the apple. But again, go easy on the blush - the idea is to make it look like you're naturally flushed like you got embarassed, NOT to obviously look like you have color painted on your cheeks. I have the best luck with powder blushes, but creme or mousse blushes work just as well, they are just a little tricker to apply. Pick a blush with a little sparkle to it and you'll really get that glow!
