Photo: Tom Medvedich The winter blues aren’t limited to emotional doldrums from a lack of vitamin D: They’re more than happy to make their presence known on your face, too, by zapping your skin of that healthy, golden-goddess glow you spent all summer soaking up. The clear solution? Blush. While we may think of bright, pop-of-color blushes as being a distinctly springtime beauty must-have, there’s no time of year where we’re more desperate to look alive than during the winter. Cream blushes are especially critical: Not only do they make that hit of color possible, but the formulas give skin a dewy finish that powder blushes just don’t. In short, we can’t live without them, and these 7 excellent choices are primed and ready to help you look at least a little bit less like you’ve never seen the sun. Tarte Cheek Stain in Tipsy  ($30) Don’t be turned off by the touch of orange in this coral-y shade: Once blended, it translates to a pretty hint of warmth that infuses cheeks w

Beauty fanatics know that when you stumble upon a blog that speaks to you, it’s akin to finding a soulmate— you know that euphoric feeling of, “yes, this person understands me!” And then, naturally, you stay up all night getting to know each other (a.k.a. reading through their entire archives). In the spirit of this sentiment, we rounded up some of the best blogs on the internet for endless information and inspiration. From drugstore devotees to DIY hair pros and lipstick fiends, there’s a blog for every kind of beauty-lover in this mix.  Read through to meet your match!  1  of  10 Beauty Is Boring   Robin Black is a makeup artist who has worked her magic on ladies like Amber Heard, Lorde, Kerry Washington, Olivia Wilde, and Eva Mendes, plus is known for her extensive editorial work for publications like  Vogue ,  Harper’s Bazaar , and  Marie Claire .

Being the beauty addict I am I can’t help but pay attention to the numerous beauty products that appear as props in movies… How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is filled with beauty products which isn’t surprising since Andie Anderson (Kate Hudson) works at a top Women’s magazine. Throughout the film Revlon appears with nail polishes and advertisements in “Composure”. Later on we can see an array of products that Andie has placed in Ben’s bathroom such as: Revlon Nail Polish, a Stila Palette, and an Estee Lauder Cleanser. We were in the Beauty Department the other day and she held up this Shu Uemura eyelash curler and said “What is this?” The Devil Wears Prada is pretty much filled with fashion eye candy; and makeup too. In the opening scene we can see NARS Lipsticks & Blushers, Dior Lipgloss, Tarte Cheek Stains, a Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler, and Prada Perfume. When “Grace” (Selena Gomez) gets mistaken as a British Heiress her and her girl pals decide to go with it. Not only do they

From eyeshadow to blush and lipstick, brushes are essential for creating a perfect makeup look, but do you really need to use one to apply your foundation? There are synthetic kabuki, paddle, stippling and buffing brushes (plus many more) that can be used to apply your foundation and whilst they’re all great in they’re not 110% necessary in my opinion. Brushes have many pros, but they also have a few setbacks, for example they can often make foundation appear cakey and sit on top of the skin, they can also micro-exfoliate dry skin (causing it to look flaky) and absorb A LOT of product which are things I’m not a fan of. I generally prefer to use my fingers because it’s easier to build up and sheer out product, they don’t micro-exfoliate the skin and the warmth of the fingers can help the product blend easier making it look more natural.  Many people won’t even touch foundation without a brush, but I don’t think you HAVE to use them and I know of many makeup artists that agree. Do

Those of us with stubby, stick-straight, or super-thin lashes consider lash extensions the best beauty invention since, well, mascara. The perfect option for those too impatient for Latisse , or too busy conquering the world to carefully swipe on three coats of mascara every morning, an hour-long session with a lash extension specialist will leave you with full, fluttery, sky-scraping lashes (or more a more natural-looking effect, depending on what you prefer). But—as with all good things—your (faux) fringe must eventually come to an end. We spoke with lash extension expert,  Gina Bisignano , and asked her if there was  anything  we could do to make our extensions last just a little bit longer between touch-ups. Turns out, she has lots of tips. Keep reading to find out what you can do! 1  of  7 #1: Go Lighter “The thicker the lash [extensions], the heavier they are, and the more they will peel and fall out,” Bisignano says. She recommends always asking your lash spec

Whether you want those few extra minutes of beauty rest in the morning, or your friends are insisting you hurry it up with the makeup so that you’re not late to the party (again), we’ve all had our moments where our beauty routine has been cut short and we’re stuck with a look that we weren’t going for. However, being pressed for time doesn’t mean you need to skip out on some steps, but instead just speed them up, so below, we’re running you through how to do just that. 1. Get organized.  If you’re a little out of order like we used to be, you’re wasting the majority of your time just searching for products. Having things scattered all over the place makes for a guessing game every time you go to get ready, and every second you spend searching for that eyeliner is another second you lose during application – and we all know a good cat-eye takes time. If you do something as simple as get organized, you’ll be amazed at how much quicker your beauty routine will be, and how much smo
