Marquita’s Beauty Tips
CHEEKS
Blush is one item that we often ignore. But it instantly wakes up your face and adds dimension. On someone with Naomi Campbell’s complexion, go for a copper-hued tone over the winter months. Surprisingly, on medium brown skin orange looks hot! Like you just came back to campus from summer break. Fairer skin girls like Alicia Keys or Draya (From Basketball Wives LA) brush on apricot, peach or pink shades on the apples of their cheeks.
