5 Bold Blushes to Try
5 Bold Blushes to Try
Want a blush that really packs a punch? Here are five outrageous blushes that will give you a bold cheek look!
- NARS Exhibit A — rich, matte orange-red
- Make Up For Ever Truth or Dare — creamy fuchsia-pink
- Make Up For Ever #75 — bright, nearly neon fuchsia-pink
- Make Up For Ever #99 — matte red
- MAC Full Fuchsia — brightened pink
I love the look of bright blushes!
Tarte Amused has been on my wishlist since you posted about it, but MUFE 75 looks similar in the pan – do you know how similar they are when swatched? I can’t tell from the swatches you have posted, since you have an eyeshadow-style swatch of the MUFE and a blush-style swatch of the Tarte.
Thanks so much!
MUFE is more intense, deeper, more cool-toned. I swatch blushes the same as eyeshadows – I just also provide a blended out swatch, so the swatch on the left would be the equivalent if it was an eyeshadow, FYI! 🙂
Thanks!!
MAC Frankly Scarlett and NARS Mata Hari are my Bold blushes, no one of your list
I always wondered about mufe 75 because its in an eyeshadw pan but the back
says blush!
I have MUFE Matte Red! I never wear it! LOL
wow, absolutely gorgeous. I gravitate towards these highly pigmented blushes. I’ve only got Exhibit A from this list, but I gotta check out the rest, esp. the MUFE ones, wow!
I only have Exhibit A from the list, and I LOVE it. My bold blush pick is probably Taj Mahal from NARS, though. I’m rather light, and even though I can make Taj Mahal work and not look cray, it still is probably the most bold pick for my skin.
My all time favs blush are:
– Mac virgin isle
– Sleek Aruba
– Mac optimistic orange
– Tarte Tipsy
I only wear bold blushes anyway.
my faves are mac pro devil and azalea. always wanted to try exhibit a!
I have the two Makeup4ever ones but I use them as eyeshadow. lol…guess I have to try them out as blushes 🙂
Smashbox in Radience and MAC Her Blooming Cheek. I’m thinking it may be time to drag Tippy out and see how it works in the brighter colors makeup world.
I bave her blooming cheek ,but dont wear it often,what do u wear with it (eye makeup or lips wise..)?? Thanks
Nars Taj Mahil is one of my brightest blushes, and I love it especially in the summer! I wear Exhibit A too and like it on my caramel colored skin. Mac cream blush Florida is a nice hot pink, but I’m really not into cream blushes.Overall I love bright blush I think it wakes up the skin!

Hi Christine,
Between Make Up For Ever #158 & Make Up For Ever #99, which color that stains the most, has cooler-red tone and I know that both has matte finish, but can you tell me which one that has the more sheen, not flat-matte?
Thanks! 🙂
They probably stain equally… 158 has more of a sheen than 99, and it is also cooler toned.
the nars one looks awesome!
My favorite bold blushes are mufe #99 which is featured up there, and Anna Sui’s face color accent #600, a matte carrot-ish orange shade.
For bold blushes I adore Sleek-their Scandalous (which is like Nars exhibit A) Santonrini, (which I think is like MACs Full Fushia) Flamingo, & Aruba
