what blush for Stonewashed Nudes?

Post by KingTaco » Mon Apr 12, 2010 1:42 am

any recommendations for a blush to complement that collection? I haven't tried SN foundation, but I'm Olive Fair/Golden Fair in EDM.

thanks!

I'd suggest Flirt. It's a soft matte neutral and suits the character and style of the Stonewashed Nudes very well. It also works for most skintones, especially paler tones like yours (and mine, fellow Golden Fair / Sandy Fair). Flirt adds "just a hint" to look polished and complete, not a bold stripe of colour. It's enough to lift your complexion without becoming imposing or too noticeable.

For other blushes with more illumination which would also suit a paler skin tone, Lovelace is a peachy colour that works really well with that skin tone. I'd also recommend Stardust for a pinker-peach "lit from within" dewy finish, but I haven't seen that on an olive skintone up close, but it should work. Flirt would be the first recommendation though.

Thank you! I guess I'll just put a full-size in my cart...I've read enough reviews of SN blushes to know I'll probably want it in full size later

I am an olive and i LOVE stardust, it is almost too peachy but not, it works perfectly for almost any colour combination I wear.
I am also currently loving Gemini, but it is very pigmented, even on me (light/medium), so I just need to apply the tiniest amount.
Charming is another one I love, but I do wish it had more sheen to it, although I could always add something to it to make it like that.
