Pink skin

[sammy85]

i have white and pinkish skin, i would like to increase the pink color in my cheeks without puting make up on. anybody has any idea? how about food dyes...??

[rekstout]

Benefit do a cheek stain which (although it is sold as makeup) is more like a dye (i.e. it is a brush applied translucent liquid) I think it's called Bene-tint - my wife uses it, I pay for it.

does it really work?

rekstout - glad to see we have a few new men out there.

beat me to it! i have benetit, it's lovely stuff. gives you that flushed, been up to something naughty, slightly Shell like rosy cheeked look! Pricey though but if you go to any benefit counter they'll let you try it out, in fact they'll try everything out on you given half a chance!

Must try this Bene-tint rekstout. Thanks for that. tracyh, if I went to a Benefit counter they wouldn't know where to start. I'm a lost cause!

I have only become a new man since I want to know what one earth I am paying for - makeup seems to work on the inverse square rule - the smaller the bottle, the higher the price. I have a small heart attack every time my wife drags me into Sephora.

Same pricing policy with mobile phones. People fall for anything.

a natural way is to get out more. my grandma always said a child with rosy cheeks is a child who gets good fresh outdoor exercise - long walks in the fresh air will "put the colour back in your cheeks".

[Wisebird]

Darth vader, your grandmother was so right. Getting out in the fresh air is the best way to gain rosy cheeks. However, at 7.00 in the morning, when trying to look presentable for work, it is just not practical and mother nature needs a helping hand.

[darth vader]

that is quite true. a stroll in the vening will do the same trick. it doesn't have to be a daily thing either - a day walk in the hills at the weekend?

[darth vader]

evening, obviously. vening is a village in Lapland
