Blush is essential to bringing life, youth and vigor to the face, as long as you leave the round clown cheek blush dots to Village Voice scribe Lynn Yaeger.

Apparently the chicest thing to apply on your body is none other than a bandage. Yes, I’m talking about those tacky-colored adhesives that staunch blood flow after a wipeout and cover the subsequent ouchie. Except these things aren’t so not tacky anymore — remember Alexandre Herchcovitch’s prints for Band-Aid??
Lifetime is just killing it with the fashion-slash-beauty reality shows.
In addition to snatching Project Runway from Bravo, Lifetime is running a six-episode reality series on the web called Blush: The Search for America’s Greatest Makeup Artist this November. The premise is the same as Project Runway: contestants, judges, challenges and host.
