Mine all time favorite is Strada by MAC. I’m NC20 and it suits just perfectly. Im so sad it’s discontinued, I have one back up but I feel like buying more of them.. What do you think Christine? Is it worth having 2 backups? Knowing Mac they can come up with something pretty soon.. but again.. that is my perfect shade!
Strada is discontinued-no!!!!!!!!!!! I gotta say I love a really cheap blush- Boots NAtural Collection Rosey Glow, only about 3 euro!
I’m loving my Dainty Mineralize blush right now
RANDOM:
NC, NW, N, C. They stand for…?
They stand for two types of MAC foundation/powder shades – Neutral Cool and Neutral Warm, depends on your undertone, pinkish ones would be NW and more olive/cool shades – NC.
What about just N or just C, though?
N & C refer to Neutral and Cool shades that are available exclusively in MAC Studio Fix. MAC uses the color wheel to determine these so C & NC colors run olive to gold undertone, N’s are neutral beige and NW is more peachy/pink undertones. You can go with your skin tone or opposite to correct skintones, ex. NW to warm up a complexion or NC to counteract excessive redness.
Thanks!
an easy way to remember what NC and NW stand for is basically that NC= not cool and NW= not warm. just a tip

NARS Taj Mahal, MAC X-Rocks and Breezy
I’ve been using the Redhead MSF almost every day since it came out!
My (MAC) Joyous beauty powder blush is my staple. It’s a perfect balance between pink and coral, soft and not too bright, glowy without being garish.

I would have to say Chanel Narcisse or Reflex.
For a cream blush Becca
i am LOVING mac’s just a pinch gel right now, but my all-time favorite is bobbi brown’s pot rouge in pink raspberry (18). it gives >such< a bright and pretty pop (i’m NC 25) but if you use a light hand (or brush) it is subtle enough for everyday wear. plus it’s a fantastic lip colour.
Mac blushbaby or Uncommon cream colour
Nars Madly or Luster
Nars lovejoy. I am a 173 in MUFE hd foundation and somewhere around nc50 for mac. This blush goes with everything, so I use it when I want to play up the lips or eyes.
I like Gentle mineral blush.
Mac’s Well Dressed i absolutley love this blush
YAY!! Well Dressed is mmy favorite too! I was reading through these wondering when someone would say this!!!

MAC blushbaby for sure!
BB Pink Coral – perfect pop of pinkish coral for my NC 35 skintone.
MAC’s Sunbasque. I’ve hit pan twice.
i agree! i love peachykeen too
M.A.C. Grand Duo in Earth to Earth <3
I really love Stark Naked and Gentle, such lovely shades.
stark naked, hipness & emote
The Body Shop Sparkle and Shimmer Puff in Sunset Peach. I got it on sale during a holiday clearance along with two other shadows (their Chocolate (shimmer) and Soft Black (matte) so I could get the 3 for $10 deal. It’s a shimmery/frosty peachy pink with gold shimmer when layered lightly dry, and is a great dupe for NARS Orgasm applied this way! Layered medium to heavily dry, it becomes more of a coral with a touch of orange, and get this: GREEN shimmer! It’s SO pretty. If even you use it wet for a bold look or packed on the lids as an eyeshadow, in becomes an intense orange-coral with noticeable green, gold, and orange shimmer with pink frost – very versatile!
I’m NC25/30 fves are: springsheen by MAC and benetint by benefit.
I alternate between MAC Peaches, Mocha, and Blushbaby
Nars Deep Throat annnnd Bobbi Brown Apricot

Mac Pink Swoon, MAC Perfect Topping MSF, and NARS Deep Throat!
WOW so many MAC lovers, I want to encourage everyone to try Laura Geller Blush-N-Brighten blushes, they beat MAC in every way, with color payoff compared to the MSF’s to the staying power over the other blushes.
I love the Laura Geller Blush and Brighten too!! I have one in Golden Apricot and its gorgeous. I still have a soft spot for MAC though. I also think that they are more finely milled then the MSF’s and their not as glittery as the MSF’s tend to be
There are a lot of good ones for me. Pinch O’ Peach, Peachtwist, NARS Orgasm…
Currently I’ve been using the new Dior harmonie blushes and Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronzer in Maui a lot.
MAC Well Dressed!
Mac’s Ambering Rose is my staple, winter or summer. =)
Not peachtwist, Peachykeen. Whew. What was I thinking? I don’t even have anything that sounds like Peachtwist.
