Blush Help! Pinks

Post by dishabille » Sat Jun 16, 2012 3:57 am

Hi all, am new to the forums. I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for blushes. I wear Lovelace daily and am thinking of a change from coral, is there a truly pink equivalent for it?

I also wear Satisfied (which turns a little muddy on my skin, though beautiful in texture and effect). As a reference, I'm NC25, a crazy mix of olive-gold light-medium.

I purchased Ginger but it turned completely unflattering on my skin.

Any guidance would be much appreciated, thanks!

Check out Stellar, Stardust and the swatches on both of those pages. Also you might like Tickle. The cream blushes are amazing!

Try Tart Light, it's absolutely stunning and don't let the colour in jar scare you - it applies lightly and gives a beautiful, natural pink flush.
Who says a chick can't love make up and World of Warcraft at the same time? :D

I think you would like panache cream blush.

My skin color sounds a lot like yours. You can't go wrong with TART LIGHT. It is scary in the jar, put always gives a healthy glow to your skin. Bronze Beauty isn't a true pink, but a brownish pink and looks very natural on me. For some reason any of the blushes with peach look muddy on me.

I would second the vote on the Tart Light. It is sheer and more like a "stain" than a opaque powder blush -- without the mess of stains. It looks more natural than any other blush I have used. In fact I discarded all my other blushes once introduced to Tart Light.

Try Climax :D

I'm NC-30-35ish with golden yellow-olive undertone and Climax is awesome on me. Subtle and gives a fresh look when I go for 'no make up' make up.

Thanks! The other day I tried loading up the sample of 'Climax' I have on my face and it turned out okay - I agree, it's a fantastic barely-there sheen with a strong lip colour. I don't know if that justifies getting a full size, though, as I rarely wear lip colour but always go for the cheeks and minimal eyeliner.
