A true coral blush?

[xraisonxdetre]

I'm looking for a blush that is a true coral. A blush version of the new Verve lipgloss. Any ideas?

I'm thinking Wish You Were Here but it might not be pigmented enough for you.

Ya, it looks really pretty but I dont think it would show up that well.

I actually want to recreate this palette:

Its The Body Shop Warm Sunset Trio. When I looked it up online, it didn't look ANYTHING like that.



So, now I'm trying to recreate the first one..haha. Though, I probably shouldn't attempt to press it!

Well the thing about pressing is that not all mineral brands use the same quality of ingredients and formula. What works for one, say EDM pressed well with Jojoba and a little alcohol, doesn't necessarily work for SN because the quality, texture and particle size is obviously going to be different. EDM is coarser and can sustain a heavy binder, SN doesn't work so well, plus SN's eyeshadows have a superbly crafted texture with subtle colour tones and finishes - not just one plain block colour. That finish can be lost in pressing with an unsuitable binding agent. Last I heard Karen had formulated, or was working on formulating, a pressing agent. Hopefully that'll help avoid disasters.

As for darker blushes - yes! I've observed that a lot of ladies who come to mineral sites do so because they struggle to find a foundation that's suitably pale enough, or because of ingredient sensitivities. Now minerals are more well know, their appeal is spreading to all ladies. What I'm getting at is that typically mineral ranges have a bias towards sheerer or paler colours for fairer skins, but there is most definitely a growing interest for bolder or deeper colours to accommodate ladies with darker or mixed-race skintones so that all the beauty of their colouring can shine through with colours that truly suit. I really believe it's a growing market. Hope Karen can come up with some deep colours for you in the next batch of colours.

If you're not satisfied with the coral blushes available (poppy, wish you were here), i do think one could be created. why don't you get a couple of samples and mix them together? I'm thinking something along the lines of a pink, an orange, and a red-tart, nuance, and apple?


*The second 2 are vegan and are listed under the vegan tab, not the regular blush tab

You may also find you like poppy or lovelace:

Xarata-I think mixing is a good idea! Its not so much that I'm not satisfied with the blushes available (bc they are all gorgeous) its just that I'm looking for this specific one hehe. I have Lovelace, maybe add a bit of red to it to make it a little bit more coral rather than peach?

I'll def play around and see what I come up with! Thanks for the suggestion I really should have thought of it myself!
