Blush Roses

By TATIN YANG

Men in love, poetic or not, have always compared the objects of their affections to flowers. Its soft, delicate petals, vivid colors and sweet, earthy smell make flora a delight to the senses.

Flowers symbolize romance and love, which make a lush garden a perfect setting for tying the knot.

Isis Rachelle Uy, a bride-to-be marrying British gentleman Andrew Jones is set to have a garden wedding. Pinks and browns were the colors used to achieve a delicate, blushing countenance befitting of walking down a flower-strewn path.

Get the English rose look:

Flawless Face

To achieve a creamy complexion, try Lancome’s Teint Idole liquid foundation. This formulation boasts of a lightweight, immovable retouch-free consistency that spreads sheer and satiny.

Real Radiance

L’Oreal Paris’s skin care studies show that when light hits radiant skin that is clear of hyperpigmentation (brown spots), the light is reflected off cleanly, making the skin appear to "glow" from within. For incandescent skin, L’Oreal’s White Perfect Re-Lighting Whitening Radiance Boosting Double Essence promises visible results in a week. It contains lactic acid and glycolic acids (from milk and fruit) which gently exfoliate the surface of the skin to reveal the newer one underneath.

Prim and Pinched

For a blush worthy of a pink, dewy rose, determine first how your cheeks look when naturally flushed. Run in place for about until you feel blood rushing to your face (or think of something horribly embarrassing if you’re too lazy to run in place). The color your cheeks turn after is your natural color. Mimic that color by sweeping a powder blush in that shade on the apples of your cheeks radiating outwards towards your ear. The trick to a natural-looking flush is to blend the color well. To make it last longer, layer on a liquid blush first (try Benefit’s Benetint or Pout’s Lip & Cheek Stain) and then sweep your powder blush over it. L’Oreal’s Blush Delice in Rosy Cheeks gives you that "I just came in from the cold" glow.

Wide-eyed and Innocent

Curly and mile-long lashes set in wide eyes are classic trademark of the ingénue. Line eyes with a soft, brown shadow and blend upwards from the lashline. For lashes that stand out, L’Oreal’s Volume Shocking Mascara does the trick in just a few strokes with its handy comb applicator. If your face is oily, blinking too much often smears the mascara and smears your makeup underneath the eye making you look tired and bruised. Skip the mascara and opt for a set of false eyelashes to give you a wide-eyed look. Look for ones that are soft and shaped like natural eyelashes (shorter on the inner corner and gradually lengthening outwards)

Petal Pink Lips

For a dreamy look, opt for lips that are moist and creamy. Matte lips do not go well with a blushing, garden bride. L’Oreal’s Colour Riche Lipstick fuses shine and moisture in colors that stay true.
