BLUSHES Options

[transcendentalis...]

let's talk

What blushes do you own? What are your favorites? Which ones do you recommend/not recommend

I currently have: Smashbox O-Glow, Jane blushing earth sheer, and some helllla old Mary Kay blush that I've hit pan on. but I still use it and it's awesome

I've always wanted to branch out on blushes a bit more, but I didn't really know where to start. I've always wondered about the orangey ones... or the MAC mineral skin finishes? I dunno. The Smashbox is just pink, and not really great for blending imo, and then from there on it's just peachy or rosy.

SUGGESTIONS?

I loooove peachy blushes and those are pretty much the only ones I'll wear on a regular basis. I really love MAC Springsheen and theBalm's Hot Mama blush. I think these colours are universally flattering...so maybe you could give them a try? I heard that Milani blush in Mai Tai is a good drugstore dupe.

I also love the more natural, satin/matte finish peach blushes, and I've recently been using a Clinique blush I got as a GWP in Honey Blush. Really natural and pretty.

Other blushes I own...NARS Sin (dusty...raspberry, mauve-y), MAC Beauty Powder Blush in Eversun (sort of a sunburnt peach colour, great for summer), Benefit Dandelion (very sheer pale pink). I like them all but don't wear them as often as the peachy shades.

MAC Mineralize Skinfinishes are nice, but I don't personally consider (most) of them to be blushes. I only have one (Redhead) and I sometimes use the darker shades as blush, but only if my skin is behaving and I'm going for a shimmery look (the frostiness of it brings out blemishes). I more frequently use the lighter shades to highlight cheekbones though. Most MSFs are suuuuper shimmery so stay away if you don't like shimmer/frost!

God I always write an essay if it's about make-up LOL
