Many of us BGs are powder blush and bronzer babes, but cheek stains are a great alternative! For the past two years I've been a huge fan of Tarte's gel-based cheek stain in Flush. It goes on sheer which gives just the right amount of color without looking too overdone. The barely-there tint is ideal for a more natural glow. Plus, it prevents the beauty faux-pas of applying too much with a brush (I apply mine with my fingertips). Don't be afraid of the color it appears to be in the bottle, play around and find the color that suits you best!

i need to try tarte flush!! Everyone is raving about it!
I've had great experience with Stila convertible color and the color push ups...i loove orchid!!
however with benetint, not so much..i could barely see the color..i just used it on the lips..
i even tried MARK and pff...it was a waste of money
i haven't tried stained because i have this notion that it'll just clog my pores - but maybe i should give it a try...i have heard some good things about that tarte product...
I love the idea of a stain, but they never look right on me.
I dunno? Maybe I'm not applying them correctly????
I still haven't gotten hip to that Tarte stain but now that the weather is getting cooler, I think I'll give it a try. OMG, that Stila convertible color in Poppy is amazing! I really love that stuff.
I've always wanted to try stains especially for the lips. Great post. :)
Oops, I meant the Tarte that I use is Tickled! :-)
not sure if the stains are for me but i do love a nice bronzer.
I've never tried cheek stains but I'd love to give them a go. Thanks for this post.
Love the idea. In the winter I get quite pale.
Looking forward to my new red cheeks.
This is a great idea. I haven't tried it, but I would. Thanks for keeping us up to date on all the hot beauty products!
Never tried cheek stains. I may give them a try. Thanks for the post.
Unfortunately, I can't wear cheek stains aka blush! My fat baby cheeks are the last thing I want to highlight. I do like the look on others though!
I've never tried stains but they do look interesting. I'm always nervous about gels and creams because i think it's just going to look like a have a big circle on the side of my face.
Flush - gonna use that for the name of my next short story
I never used cheek stains before? Are they better than blush? I've heard about Tarte's cheek stains, so I would try that.
tarte cheek stain has been on my list for the longest time!
I love cheek stains especially the tarte!
I haev never tried the stain color lip...I think I might like it though. My complaint is that my gloss never stays, so this may be my solution..=)
