Beauty Tips and Tricks For Redheads
Since it's St. Patrick's Day, I've been thinking about classic Irish beauty. Being that so many Irish women are fair-skinned redheads, I thought I'd suggest a few friendly tips and tricks on how to enhance your specific type of beauty.
The Best Blusher For Your Skin Tone: Fair Skin
Thanks to the help of Jane Richardson, an expert makeup artist for Nars, I've created another great BellaSugar series on the various shades of blush that are best suited for fair, medium, yellow-toned, olive and ebony skin.
The first thing to consider when choosing a blush is to try and match it with your natural flush. So after you've gotten out of the shower, or after you've just exercised, take a long look at your face.

Beauty Byte: Skin-Lightening Market Booms in India
I don't know how I missed this yesterday, but The New York Times just ran a pretty unsettling article about the Indian beauty market — specifically, the proliferation of skin-lightening products. A Unilever brand called Fair & Lovely has been selling skin lighteners for decades, but now an increasing number of cosmetics companies — including Avon, L’Oréal, Ponds, Garnier, the Body Shop, and Jolen — are marketing their own products designed to alter dark skin.
Though this sounds offensive to those of us who believe that diversity is an inherent party of beauty, the makers of these products say that reaction is just the result of cultural differences and bias, so read more
Hair Dye and Health Safety
Coloring your hair is really common, whether it be to add mahogany highlights or hide strands of gray. In fact, nearly 70 percent of American women religiously visit the salon to alter their look, but, as I'm sure many of you have asked, is the beauty practice safe? Quite a few studies have found no connection between coloring your hair and cancer, and multiple studies have looked specifically at breast, bladder, and brain cancer finding no connection to these specific types either.
New Product Alert: Fresh Sugar Acaí Body Scrub
As a complement to Fresh's Sugar Acaí Age-Delay Body Cream is a brand-new magnificently scented sugar and citrus fruit Body Scrub (£32). Acaí, a Brazilian dark berry is packed with high concentrations of antioxidants, which we know helps fight off free radicals (those nasty cells that cause premature signs of ageing).
Blended with sugar crystals (I'm not ashamed to admit to doing a little taste test), the scrub is hydrating (from the fruit acids), moisturising (from the cupuaçu seed butter and jojoba oil) and as I mentioned earlier, the aroma is totally intoxicating (there's a hint of caramel and bergamot added to make your mouth water).
Which SPF Is Right For You?
I went to the drugstore to pick up some sunscreen and the endless shelves of bottles is astounding. Have you ever thought, "What's with all the different SPF numbers?" If you're confused by what the numbers mean and how you choose the right one for your skin type, you're not alone.
Orange You Glad It's Summer!
I adore orange-enhanced beauty products almost as much as I love honey ones. They can be sweet, tangy, or sometimes a little of both. And even though I'm fair-skinned, I'm quite a sucker for orange-coloured cosmetics too.

Self Tanners For Fair Skin
Dear Sugar I am very fair-skinned, so much that I buy the palest shade of foundation at the drug store. I need to darken up my skin for the summer without hitting a tanning salon, but because I'm so pale, many self-tanners turn out too orange. Are there any you can recommend that are made for paler girls that will look natural and not orange.What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday
