Blush is an instant pick-me-up, and - when applied correctly - a boon to every complexion.

For example: Scarlett Johansson's cheeks looked luminous thanks to peachy pink blush today at Moet & Chandon's Tribute to Cinama' at Roppongi Hills in Tokyo, Japan.

According to Carmindy, the makeup artist on TLC's What Not To Wear and StyleList's Beauty Basics expert, if you have fair skin, a natural no-fail shade is light pink. If you have medium skin, try a rose color. It mimics your skin's natural flush. If you have dark skin, go with a raisin color--it'll look beautiful against your skin tone. Watch more tips from Carmindy in our blush how-to video. And for the lowdown on cream blush, watch this.

Click through the gallery for more examples of Stars doing blush right, peppered with pro tips on how to wear it.

Beauty Basics: Stars in Blush

    A red carpet complexion is not complete without blush. It instantly illuminates the skin and helps create an airbrushed finish. From film festivals to movie premiers, see which celebrities are blushing.

    Paula Abdul arrived at the Late Show with David Letterman in June 2009 looking a little too color coordinated. Her jacket, lips and cheeks were all the same shade.

    TIP: If you think you've over-applied powder blush, you can easily tone it down by dipping a clean blush brush in a little bit of loose powder and sweeping it right on top of the bold color.

    Ali Larter looked pretty rosy at an Instyle magazine party in May 2009.

    TIP: If you have fair skin, a natural no-fail shade is light pink.

    At a benefit in New York City, Lindsay Price heated up the red carpet with seriously feverish cheeks.

    TIP: If you have medium skin, try a rose color. It mimics your skin's natural flush

    Andrew H. Walker, Getty Images

    At a party in Los Angeles in June 2009, January Jones had the perfect, pinch-your-cheeks flush.

    TIP: To heighten your cheekbones, apply blush along the cheekbone itself and then back to the hairline - angle it towards the top of your ear.

    Noel Vasquez, FilmMagic

    At the Pride of Britain Awards in October 2009, Naomi Campbell's cheeks matched her notorious temperament - fiery.

    TIP: If you have dark skin, go with a raisin color--it'll look beautiful against your skin tone.

    Mike Marsland, WireImage

    At the premiere of My Sister's Keeper, Cameron Diaz's popped her razor sharp cheekbones with a touch of pink blush.

    TIP: If they're applied sheerly, rose and coral blush can work on every skin tone.

    At the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party in September 2009, Ashley Tisdale gave her youthful complexion a warm pink glow.

    Always a red carpet siren, Mariah Carey made no exceptions at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. Besides her bustier dress and blinding diamonds, her makeup (cheeks included) was red hot.

The thing that I found most unattractive about my face as I got older were the dark circles under my eyes. I tried everything I could to get rid of them but nothing ever worked. I got tired of seeing all the scam ads on TV for skin care products that don't work so I started dong some research about my problem on the internet and I discovered that dark circles around and underneath eye area is not usually caused by a lack of sleep, instead the membrane in that area (a vascular rich zone) of skin is readily susceptible to discoloration (usually dark or pink). I found a great product, Haloxyl Cream, at ( Http://tiny.cc/AmazingEyes135 ) that contains Haloxyl which is a new ingredient combination that has shown great promise and results in lowering the darkness of color in the under eye area. This cream is natural based so no pore clogging ingredients like mineral oil will make the problem worse. The ingredients in this natural based skin care cream are all about stimulating the pooling blood in the area under and around the eyes. This is one of the main causes of dark circles.
The very thin and fine layers of skin are pumped full of skin thickening ingredients to help maximize the cell wall to decode the see through color for the skin in that area. It also helps to firm the skin around the eyes and reduce puffiness. Extremely good for a great all around look. One of the reported side effects (there are only good side effects with this cream) is that puffiness and bags under the eyes are reduced in appearance drastically making this one of the best all around eyes cream in general not to mention for the aforementioned problems.
As mentioned above the causes can vary a little but for most the same three causes of both under eye puffiness, bags under the eyes and of course dark circles are lack of blood flow, pooling blood, thinning or thin skin and leaking of blood in the very venous tissue. All of these can be helped tremendously with the absolute best under eye treatment that includes peptides, skin thickeners and much more all in a natural base. Http://tiny.cc/AmazingEyes135

I work in a modeling agency and the only way that our models over age 22 are able to get down to their weight for bathing suit shoots is by using a fat burning/detox/cleanse. This is the one that we find works the best Http://tiny.cc/Purity12158 I'm far from a model myself but it's been helping me lose 5-8 pounds a month and I have never felt better in my life.

I was lucky enough to never have been overweight in my life. That all ended after the birth of my second child. I got down to 20 pounds over my normal weight but no matter what I did I couldn't lose the rest. I didn't know if was age catching up with me or if somehow my metabolism changed. Whatever the reason, nothing was working. I tried all the bogus "diet" pills that we see all over the internet, but are just scams. All I ever lost with that stuff was money. One of my friends, knowing what I was going through, told me that she had been losing weight using a special plan that she found at this web site Http://bit.ly/FatLoss4You It laid out the facts in a way I never saw before and had easy to follow meal plans and diets. Not only have I lost the weight and kept it off but I'm leading a healthier lifestyle, mostly from the knowledge I gained from this amazing program.

Sandra is sooooo friggin' HOT!!! We, Americans, love beautiful people. We spend a fortune on looking good, clothing, makeup, cars, etc. I can tell you that the easiest and cheapest way to look good is to lose weight. Lookin' good like these celebs is well worth the effort. I lost 47 pounds in 6 weeks using the Rapidthin diet at www.rapidthin.com. Good luck to all. Use what works for you.

Sandra Bullock uses liposuction to control that fat ass of hers. She probably has to use oversize tampons to fit in that fat **** of hers. LOL ROF OMFG!!!!!
