Have you tried Stellar?

"Stellar is the truly cool version of Stardust- there isn't even a hint of anything golden or peachy. It's light cool toned pink with a bit of shimmer and pearl. It's perfect for that "just in from the snow" look. If you were a fan of Strawberries and Champagne you need at least a sample of this one."

The shimmer is not too much at all, IMO.

I have stellar and also stardust. I like both, but I don't find them pale.

Oh, hmmm, Stellar barely shows up on me, and I consider my skin medium fair, weird. Have you tried mixing in some ivory foundation base to lighten up?
That is, until Karen comes out with something pretty, pale and non-sparkly :)

I just did that this afternoon! was feeling bored and remember someone mentioned something about mixing Angel glow powder with Tart. So now I have 5 pale/light pink blushes that were previously Stellar, Tart Light, Tart, Embrace and Charming... I used some angel (not a good idea on its own as it turns your blush into a glow), some pink blush from another place, white e/s, glow foundation (but the all purpose foundation mixes better without the little clumps), and more.. I even went crazy and lighten Satisfied. can't share "recipes" cos I added things on a whim.

haven't tried them on my face yet cos I need to stay off makeup for a few days. but loving what I swatched. I think Karen's paler blushes don't show up as they are very sheer, which is great, but doesn't help with pale colors (if it makes sense). I don't think I am fair but Karen's blushes will turn slightly darker on me after application.
