Natasha Poly backstage at Anna Sui S/S 2010 Spring is officially here! It's time to add some tropical colour to our make-up and embrace that happy healthy summer glow. Coral is a major colour trend for this season (and it should be every year). Adding a little bit of coral blush, like make-up artist Pat Mcgrath did at Anna Sui's S/S collection, will make the face look fresher and sunnier.
Pat Mcgrath used Covergirl's Simply Ageless blush in "Plush Peach" and it's a great bright, bold colour. It's a cream blush so it's great for those that prefer cream-based products or have dry skin.

Cargo's "Cannes" is a little bit on the warmer side so it will compliment those with olive skin and summer freckles (like me). Nars' "Gilda" is coral-y pink perfection.

I LOVE CORAL. so much that I wear it all year round. I prefer peachy-coral blush to pink most times and it looks amazing during the summer when you have a bit of a tan (or know how to work a bronzer brush haha). I love that there's a blush called "Cabo Coral", reminds me of Cabo, sigh.
I mostly like coral in small touches like nail polish or lip gloss; haven't been adventurous enough to try coral blush yet!
OT but I gave you an award on today's post! Check it out:
