5 Soft Pink Blushes to Try

5 Soft Pink Blushes to Try

Originally, I was going to pick five favorite pink blushes, but pink is such a popular blush hue that I thought it would be better to split it into two separate posts: one for softer, subtler pinks (think light to medium) and a second one for bolder, more fuchsia-like pinks. Thanks to reader Sirinthorn for today’s topic! These are designed to be truer pinks, but it’s on my list of posts-to-do for more of a neutral-pink-beige blush roundup :)

  1. Bobbi Brown Nude Pink — blue-based light-medium pink
  2. Burberry Peony — soft pink with yellow undertones
  3. Chanel Pink Explosion — subtly cool-toned light-medium pink
  4. NARS Gaiety — really cool-toned pink
  5. MAC So Sweet, So Easy — pale pink

What’s your favorite soft pink blush?

What do you think about MAC PinK Swoon ;) ? I'm loving your top 5 articles by the way!

I find Pink Swoon really hard to wear!

My favorite soft pink is MAC's Coygirl, its soft pink on my NC45 skin

I absolutely love my Guerlain blush in #5 but I think it looks similar to Benefit Hervana which is much more affordable!

Right now NARS Gaiety is my absolute fav pink blush. I wasn't sure it would work on me, since it leans so cool, but I get compliments every single time I wear it. And not just "oh, nice blush" type compliments, but comments on how fresh and radiant I look... They may not know I look that way because of my blush, but trust me, it's the blush!

I have two of these pinks, Burberry Peony and Chanel Pink Explosion. I'm wondering do I need NARS Gaiety? I do love NARS blushes!

MAC Subtle Breeze from the Naturally collection :D

Gaiety is so pretty! It's way up there on my makeup wishlist ;)

I love Gaiety, Angelika, Rose Ecrin, So sweet, so easy, Rosy Glow, Bella Bamba, Lovely rose from Clarins, Horizon, Catalina from Cargo, and so many others. I never tried Bobbi Brown or Illamasqua but I'll certainly will !

Christine, what do you think about thebalm´s Down Boy? It´s a beautiful pink too...

My favorite soft pink blush is Make Up For Ever Cotton Candy. I wear it most days!

Every beauty blog I read is egging me on to buy Gaiety, and I'm such a weakling! LOL.

Hey Christine! The Burberry Peony is gorgeous, any dupes that you know of?

I've been trying to find a dupe for Pink Explosion after I chickened out of it due to the price at its release. Any hope for someone still lemming after it besides swaps & sales?
