Same as Rys, I can't wear Startdust, even though my skin is leaning towards yellow, but still cool. I do adore Tart Light. I only have three fullsize blushes: Lady, Charming and Foxxy. The first and the last gets the most play, and I keep Charming for evening. I do have a ton of samples though, as it's a good way to really figure out what you can wear and can't be without
Some of my current favorites: Flirt, Desert Plum, Tart Light, Babydoll, Forbidden (very lightly dusted as I'm fair, but it's a gorgeous true red), Foxxy and Carnal (again, lightly applied).

I forgot I also have Foxxy II (so pretty). But yeah, I don't think I could ever possibly use up a full size blush. Then again, I'm white as a sheet so it doesn't take much

Charming = very favorite blush (for now

I'm half way between a Sandy Fair and a Golden Fair, and a bit lighter still. I use Buttery Gold here. That makes me pretty close to neutral but slightly on the warm side. I can't do peach or orange and some golds look to brassy. Purples and blue-pinks look too harsh.
I *adore* Stardust. Lovelace also has the same 'lit from within' dewy veil of colour. Lovelace - Climax - Satisfied are very close in colour but Lovelace is the least pigmented and Satisfied the most pigmented. I can wear them all but am most comfortably in the first two. Flirt is the perfect understated elegent daytime blush. Wish You Were Here adds a subtle pop of colour in an unusually flattering tone of soft coral. Petal is gorgeous and delicate.
What didn't work for me were these: Charming - too cool toned and looked harsh; Forbidden - way too deep even with a FO brush; Bronze Beauty - too warm a tone of gold in there, a bit like Halo Glow.
For glows I love Crinoline (cough New Shoes dupe cough) but Cupid, Halo and Heavenly are all too warm toned for me (too warm a gold, like a cider or mustard-tan colour).
I love Date Bait, Tempt Tryst, Liberty Glow and Crystal Glow. All very easy to wear.

I agree, go for it. Even if it doesn't work as a blush I bet it'd make a really pretty eyeshadow!

JenW!! Does that mean all the blushes currently available will no longer contain silk? So if I want mine to be with silk I should buy now? Or will only new blushes not be with silk??
If I put them in the freezer will that extend their shelf life? When will this change happen?? I am loving the silk in them…so I might need to stock up, then I certainly will be getting at least 10 full sizes at one time!! My DH is gonna kill me…

We do have Vegan blushes that will be good for longer than that if you do not use the jar lid or sifter for picking up product with your brush. I also think the color products (eyeshadows and blushes) from here out will be formulated without silk since we introduced our Vegan Line. That way we can offer the widest range of color products without overlap.
Was EDM Buff Perfect. Currently, 1:8 Original Ivory, Warm Gold. !!! Loving SN

The current blushes will remain as they are. Which is good because I kind of view them as perfection!
