At the 2011 People’s Choice Awards Wednesday night, celebrities like Leighton Meester, Minka Kelly, Drew Barrymore, Kim Kardashian and Selena Gomez all got cheeky with this spring’s hottest trend, rosy cheeks. Tips on how to achieve the look after the jump!
The look on the runway:
Carolina Herrera, Nina Ricci, Christian Siriano and Michael Kors
Tips On Wearing The Look
* The key is to apply the blush to your cheekbones and blend towards the temples rather than just the apples of your cheeks.
* Those with light skin can never go wrong with pinks and peaches. Medium and darker skin look best in brighter pinks and corals.
* When going heavy on the blush, avoid using bright colors on your eyes and lips understated to prevent an overkill.
* To get the longest-wearing color, start with a cream blush then top with a powder blush.

I thought Leighton Meester’s makeup in general looked really good. I know Christian Siriano did the rosy cheek look isn’t meant for everyday, but I’m still not a fan of it. It almost looks messy to me.
Ooh, good thing I picked up MAC’s Ladyblush this weekend. They’re discontinuing their whole line of creme blushers, I can’t believe it!
Blush has always been my thing- it makes you look so youthful and vibrant! Glad I found your website, it’s wonderful and so informative!! And my vote is the way the celebs did the bright blush, not the runway;-)
