We did used to have a few more pale bluses, but they were discontinued.
Things that you can do with more pigmented blushes....mix in a little Perfecting Powder or our Original or Vegan foundation base. The easiest fix is to use a dual fibered brush. When you load the brush, stipple it off once on your hand or a towel (I always do this to avoid clown cheeks). Then apply.
Also, have you tried Maybe Baby, Stellar, or Stardust? Part of the reason that the paler blushes were discontinued is that only the light to fair gals could successfuly wear them. It is fairly simple to thin the color out, but next to impossible to make it darker.

any pallet would be fine!!! hope you find something Karen.
I dont think it would be logistically possible to offer the pallets with only the colours you want, although that would be ideal.
This way you'd get to try them all, and I think they are all on the darker side anyhow, plus, you can put them under eye shadows to make new colours, which make them versatile.
I personally prefer not using a pen style for my eye liner, I like my different colours and my cute eye liner brush! I prefer the texture in this way (thicker gel like) the more liquid one would probably require more alcohol and harmful substances which we dont like so close to the eye!
I found Climax blush to be far far to light for me, likewise with Flirt which didnt' even show up after a few layers. And I am not that dark or tan even remotely, I am light medium at best (nicer in summer of course!)
but the pigmented blushes really are simple to use, and you'd use much less than normally meaning a FS will last you ages.

See, the pale blushes were one of the reasons I love shopping SN to begin with. I loved Jamie and Cocoaberry and have never really been over them being d/c. But that's JMO.....
