5 Fantastic Coral-Pink Blushes

If you’re not enamored of corals as much as I am, you may lump them all together as “coral,” but there is a definite distiction between a coral-pink and a coral-orange (and to an extent, coral-red!). There are corals that pull pinker, so they appear less warm, peach, and orange on the skin tone, while there are corals that pull warmer, so they appear redder, more orange, and peachier.

  1. Tarina Tarantino Parasol — shimmering coral-pink with a champagne shimmer-sheen
  2. NARS Orgasm — classic pink base with golden sheen that translates to a pink-coral
  3. theBalm Frat Boy — coral pink with just a faint sheen
  4. MAC Posey — pink-coral cream blush
  5. Tarte Glisten — medium-dark pink base color with a golden sheen

What’s your favorite coral-pink blush?

I like Tarte Glisten over NARS Orgasm but I LOVE La Femme Blush On Rouge in Coral Spice (dupe for Orgasm but more pigmented) and Terracotta.

I want to get theBalm Frat Boy eventually as I have a Rexall store that carries the line. *_*

I L-O-V-E coral! Recently I purchased Bobbi Brown pot rouge in Calypso Coral and am obsessed with that formula and new packaging. Rose is my new go to favorite blush but obvi it’s not coral. Does the MAC Posey have a similar consistency and wear time? I didn’t find a review on Calypso Coral to compare swatches.

I love coral – I have a ton of coral blushes. I hope this means you’re going to feature 5 of your favorite coral-orange blushes too 🙂

I have thebalm frat boy, and i love it. I also love MUFE Quickie, which I think is a coral-pink.

Another favorite is Illamasqua Rude, but I’d classify that as a coral-peach – it definitely is much more peachy orange than the ones in this post!

hey christine, if you get a chance, check out/review the balm’s hot mama; it’s a beautiful shade of coral pink with gold shimmer. i also like mac’s springsheen; these 2 colors could be dupes of eachother and of course i end up owning both! LOL. love coralista and springsheen as 2 coral summer blushes i often wear.

Coral’s not a great shade on me and while I have TheBalm’s Frat Boy, I rarely wear it (it came in a palette); I also have Benefit’s Coralista and I find that a bit more wearable.

I am wearing tarte amazonian clay glitsen, I love it, it is so close to mac springsheen which I think is better han nars orgasm, mac’s texture is better less money for the same color. I don’t know if tarte’s blush last 12 hours, but it does stay longer on my than mac springsheen.

Maybe try NARS Gina! It reminds me of orange/peach sorbet. I also really love NARS Luster, which is a bronzed-apricot with some gold shimmer.
