dark pink/mauve blush?

Post by nory87 » Sun Mar 07, 2010 9:01 am

Hello ladies!!!

My daughter has a dance recital coming up in June 26, but picture day is March 27. They are asking for us to provided and do the little girls makeup. They are asking for a dark pink/mauve blush. Can someone tell me if SN has such thing? I mean I just buy colors because I like them not because the actual color, lol!!! Everything else I have, they want the girls to wear purple eye shadow which I have lots of!!! They also want their foundation to be one color darker then their skin color, so I might need help on that too!!

I want my little one to wear SN and not any other pharmacy makeup brand full of parabens and synthetic stuff .

TIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I rather like Carnal....Desert Mauve is a little less intense, and matte, though.

I would join a 12 step program for my SN addiction, but 12 steps are for quitters!

Embrace is a nice mauve.

Ooh, yes. Embrace and Carnal are both lovely.

I agree with Susan - Lady may be your closest bet. Love both Embrace and Carnal, but Embrace is mauve with no pink, and Carnal's purple (not as ghastly as it sounds, quite beautiful really). Lady manages to mix both pink and mauve in pretty good proportion.

If you have both, you could try mixing Carnal (or Desert Mauve if you don't mind matte) with a bit of Tart Light. Do make sure to try it on beforehand, as some skins tend to make colors go a bit on the orange side after a while.

Desert Plum goes on orange on me to start with. No problems with Tart Light, though. Desert Plum is very much on the warm side. Tart is cool, but most anyone can wear it. Lady tends to cool, but again - wearable by most.

Flirt might work, too, as that's pretty much a wearable by everyone shade, but Lady's got pink in it - Flirt - not so much.
