Neutral Blush Recommendations

Post by sophlove » Tue Oct 04, 2011 2:38 am

Hi everyone,

For my foundation blend I use a mostly olive with a teeny bit warm gold to quite a bit of white. Here is a picture of me... not the best, but recent, and shows me in SN foundation.

I want a neutral blush (or blushes?) for the fall. I recently ordered Black Dahlia KS and I am sad that I have no blush for it to go with. I also need something that will work with dark eye make-up. I try to figure it out on my own, but I'm new to the make-up obsession game! What blushes should I try, and in general, how does a person develop an understanding of what colors will or will not work for them? Is it always a bit of trial and error?

Maybe Baby and Bronze Beauty (my favorite) are great neutral blushes. Hard to believe, but apllied lightly tart or tart light is neutral and natural.

Been wearing Maybe Baby the last two days. It's leaning towards being my new favorite. Even looked good as a quick eye color.

Another vote for Maybe Baby! I have 2 blushes I grab regularly...Maybe Baby and Lady. I usually stick to two blushes so I have more money for lippies and eyeshadows. LOL....
