to Cheek
Whether draping bold blush from the temples to the cheeks a la the Chanel runway, or choosing a soft pink flush on the apples of the cheeks, blush remains a key look for SS17. Highlighter products are also perfect for creating a three-dimensional radiant finish.

The Neo Limelight in Ibiza
“With its cool, silvery undertones, this highlighter works best for light to medium skin tones. The formula can be used under or over blush, as well as on the eyes for a soft sweep of color. The powder feels like silk – application is effortless and super smooth.”

The Neo Highlighter in Sahara
“Perfect for vacation, this all-in-one compact can be used to create a soft, monochromatic finish on the eyes and cheeks. The soft-focused powder perfectly sculpts the cheeks with a natural looking shadow. It’s great for on-camera, brides, and everyday wear – the ultimate face sculpting product for spring.”

Blusher in Copacabana
“This universal blush works beautifully on every skin tone. For a gorgeous spring look, first apply Kevyn Aucoin’s The Neo Bronzer in Sahara, then tap Copacabana blush over the top, followed by a touch of amber eye shadow over the lid, and your favorite peach lip gloss.”

Blusher in South Beach
“Create a fresh, spring glow on light to medium skin tones – or use under makeup for a subtle hint of color. This shade also looks beautiful swept very lightly into the crease of the eye, especially with a smoky eye when used as a transition color.”

Glow-Expert Duo Stick
Available in 3 colorways
“Light-corrective microspheres create a soft-focus finish, blurring out fine lines and imperfections. The formula can be used all over the face, eyelids, cheek, lips and décolletage. They are great for adding subtle glow for an on-camera highlight – they leave a soft-focus finish without any shimmer or glitter.”

The Neo Powder Brush
“What I love about this brush is that it applies the product effortlessly. The synthetic bristles allow the product to pass directly onto the skin without being absorbed into the brush, so application is smooth and flawless, with no patchiness or unevenness. It does all the work for you.”
