Pinch My Cheeks! Studio Gear In A Pinch Gel Cheek Stain

Truth be told, I have no idea when, or where, I purchased the Studio Gear In A Pinch Gel Cheek Stain in Aunt Rose, but it's been in my collection for some time. The one thing I do remember is, it was the name Aunt Rose that attracted me to buy it. I envision a spinster in the 1920's, wearing a beaded-lace tea dress, and pearls, draped around her neck; her hair fashioned in a Marcel Wave, kohl-rimmed eyes, an exaggerated cupid's bow, and bright, pinched rose-red cheeks.

In A Pinch Gel Cheek Stain is a long-lasting stain that truly gives your cheeks a natural, dewy flush. Aunt Rose is a reddish, English rose shade that goes on sheer, but can be built-up. The best way to apply this gel-base product is with your fingers. The stain blends easily, but a word of advise: make sure to wash your hands after blending because it will stain the finger tips.

A look I've been wearing a lot when I'm bumming around:

My brows au naturel. I'm so happy that my brows have almost recovered from a bad waxing incident.
