What Color Blush?

Post by flgal32826 » Mon Jun 30, 2008 4:45 pm

Hi!

I am having a terrible time deciding what blush to try. For foundation, I use 2 scoops ebony, 1/2 scoop warm gold and 5 scoops, I might have to add an addition scoop of ebony I am still thinking if the first formula is too light, have to try for a couple of more days. I have sampled quite a few blushes, Foxxy, Flirt, Petal and another one that I can't remember the color. Lippies my favorites are Breathable and xoxox. Eye shadows I like the bronze, coppery browns, and most pinks. Also I am thinking about Brimstone. I have blonde hair, blue eyes and pink/peach undertone. I am mature so I tired to stay away from the really bright colors. I think I need a blush that has a pink/peach tone. Need the experts advise.

TIA

It sounds like you are in the medium to medium tan range. It also sounds as if the blushes you tried are in the lighter range. You would be surprised at how the brighter blushes might just be exactly what you need with your darker skintone. The right brush will disperse the color so that it looks natural.

If you like peachy pinks, Poppy will be a good one. For a more subdued color in the warmer range (to enhance your love of coppery and pinks) try Vixen, too. A few others that will work for you are Babydoll and Forbidden, but my best choices for you would be Vixen and Poppy.
