Feeling like that fabulous new lip color just isn’t working? Well, it may be your cheeks! (No, really.)

"For your face to look balanced, your cheeks and lips have to be in the same family of colors," says Felicity, our resident makeup artist and Senior Product Junkie. "You have to make sure that if you’re wearing a coral lip, your cheeks are also in coral…or even a bronze."

We’ve got pretty proof, too.

The Nanacoco glosses from this month’s box are super-pigmented (Hello, HOT HUES!) and have great staying power…so needless to say, we’re all already in love with them. But, we paired them with some of our favorite blushes and it really pulls the look together! The hues you use are important, so don’t forget to stay within your color families when choosing a blush to match that perfect pout! Here’s our paired picks from the graphic above.

2 Sugars and 1 Cream
Nanacoco in Carmel Latte + Bellapierre Cosmetics Mineral Blush in Desert Rose
Lazy Sunday Morning
Nanacoco in Secret Crush + Bellapierre Cosmetics Compact Blush in Desert Rose
Think Pink, Darling
Nanacoco in Popular + Glam Natural Cream Blush in Ashley, Ashley
Meet You On The Dancefloor
Nanacoco in Mysterious + Bodyography Blush in Afterglow
You Can Call Me Barbie
Nanacoco in Lovely + Becca Beach Tint in Dragonfruit
5-Inch Heels Optional
Nanacoco in First Kiss + NYX Rogue Cream Blush in Red Cheeks

Still nervous about rocking that super-bold glossy lip? Take Felicity’s advice: “All it takes is a balanced face and some confidence! You have to remember that you’re the only one that knows you don’t rock that color every day!”

So, chin up, gloss on, smile for that blush, and be daring in your pairing!

Okay, you aren’t really, but we want you to think so.

If you’re anything like me, you HATE going to the cosmetics counter. While I LOVE looking at all the sparkling new makeup, I detest having to deal with the sales people. Granted, there are a few gems here and there but most of the time I get pushed into buying something I don’t want (or need) or they have no idea what they’re talking about and I end up leaving empty-handed. Not anymore!
