When it comes to beauty talk, not all girls are into bold makeup looks like the out of this world graphic eyeliner trend, or even the supercool dark lip rage that has singlehandedly taken over the beauty department. While plum lippies and vibrant eye shadow pots are optional when it comes to creating a strong beauty look, a blush, on the other hand, is not.
