Elizabeth's Beauty Product of the Week, Best of All Cheek Stains!

By: Elizabeth Seever

We at CupcakeMAG are loving Tarte Cheek Stains lately. They stay put better than powder blush and sheer with a little hint of color. Our favorite is Tipsy ($30.00 sephora.com.) 

Weightless and completely blendable, this coral colored, 

apricot scented supplies a dewy flush. 

Tarte is formulated with natural ingredients that is good for any fashionista's skin.

I tried it alone for a fast flush (and to show my freckles) and over foundation for a natural glow.

There are eight different colors available at Sephora.com, perfect for every skin tone.
