Cheek color has been a favorite of all us girls for many years.  Remember when Scarlett pinched her cheeks at the party in Gone With the Wind?  Thank goodness there are better ways today to enhance our natural glow.  Cheek color or blush is great for emphasizing our cheekbones and contouring the shape of the face.  Whether powders, creams or tints, a little color on the cheeks can give you a more youthful look and vibrant appearance.
