Exhibit A Blush by Nars Cosmetics was rightfully named the "Best Blush for Dark Skin" 2010 by InStyle's "Best Beauty Buys". As a make up artist who specializes in working with women of colour, I have yet to come across another blush that is able to define, brighten and enliven deeper complexions.

Betsey on the Runway for Fall 2012

For all of you ladies that like to play, here's a little Betsey to brighten your day!  Her models always appear so carefree and at ease, not uptight, as they walk down the runway.

She doesn't keep it ordinary like majority of other designers, which is something I absolutely love about her! She stands out, and she does it so well. Hat's off to you Betsey!&nb...
