Natural pink shimmer blush

Post by purpleladyfa » Wed May 11, 2011 12:00 pm

Hi.. i've been looking for a perfect natural pinky shimmer blushes for a while..

But I'm confused :?

I'm looking for pink blush like "beautiful" blush from AwG.
The pink is perfect for my skin tone, but I dont like matte blush.
I want a shimmer version of that shade.

Can you help me to find the perfect shade in Silk Naturals?

Many thanks ;)

The only swatch I could find only is kinda difficult to judge, would you have a good one you can link to?
Otherwise, did you find any from SN that you're trying to choose from? There are many shimmery pinks: Stellar and its warmer counterpart Stardust may work for you. There is also the new Candie that seems pretty neutral and has a bit of shimmer.

It depends on what you mean by natural...do you mean a natural looking color or a color without dye.

I would also look at Rosie, Candie (the new one mentioned in egerandi's post), and Charming (this one does have a small amount of dye).

hi Egerandi.. thanks for replying..

These are the links of AWG "beautiful" :

It's a cool soft pink shade, and it's perfect for my NC15..
I'm pale and almost all matte blushes make my skin dull and dead..
I'm looking for a cool pink that just have a 'pink' on it, without a hint of peach or something.. :cry:

I've tried stardust and charming before, but they're too warm..


Thanks :)

JenW.. I mean a natural looking color.. The color that not vibrant, only give a natural flush on cheeks :)

Do you think Candie will look good on me? Is it a cool pink shade?

Thanks JenW.. ;)

I have Beautiful, so I took a pic for you.

L-R: Rosie, Charming, Beautiful (awG), Stellar, Stardust

I hope this helps. None of them are an exact match, but you may find one through mixing. Folly might be a good one to mix too. Beautiful does in fact have very, very slight shimmers. It applies more semi-matte, I guess?

cait.. thanks for the swatches ;)

Stellar loks very close to beautiful..

I only tried the sample baggie of beautiful AwG..
I don't remember about a very slight shimmer of it :? Maybe it's just too little for my taste,so I didn't notice :(
from your swatches, I think it's semi-matte :)

Stellar and Candie absolutely on my top list now.. Thank you, Ladies... :D

Yes, it is a cool baby pink....pretty much like the color of pink cotton candy. As long as you are light to fair in skintone, it should work.

Oh, and if you're looking for more cool pink, you gotta try Tart Light: it's not like the one you're looking for, and it's matte, but somehow it just works :)
If you want a cool shimmery one, try Cosmic!

I am thinking Tart Light?

I haven't tried Candie but it sounds gorgeous.
