Turn the LimeLights-Out before you go

Get All Dolled Up with a DIY blush!

That recipe, Chic Cheeks, was such a hit that we also received a lot of messages asking us to create a recipe for a loose powder blush too. We happily dove into the project and now we’re proud to introduce you to All Dolled Up! Making blush is all about balance.
