I wear very little blush because I feel like people tend to look like they are going out clubbing once they put on blush.  I’ve discovered through trial and error that it’s all about the shade you select and the amount you apply.  I love this Diorblush Glowing Color in Pink in Love. The...

What does the color Red say? Men love it…

February 9, 2011

Color is power. Color is expression. Color develops a story about you.  Today I choose red. Heck it’s almost Valentine’s Day and what better color to talk about than the color that starts a man’s engine.  Women, most men are attracted to the vibrancy and sexiness of a woman in scarlet, so don’t be afraid of it.   It entices them to want to know more about that woman bold enough to wear that attention grabbing hue.  This stimulating shade, mixed with the perfect scent can drive a man crazy. There are so many varieties of red, you are bound to find the one that triggers the fun in you and the passion in him. If you don’t want to wear it, then pull up in the cutest red car you can find.  Anyway you look at it, you were bold enough to be seen in it…RED
