Hi with wat kind of lipstick do you pair coool toned blush?
It really depends more on the color, intensity of the blush, and what else you’re wearing, along with your skin tone! There is no one lipstick that would work for all cool-toned blush, IMO!
Do you have a post on top picks for toned bronzers? I was looking the other day to see but I couldn’t find anything on here and I’d love to know your opinion because 1) I trust it and 2) you’ve tried just a smidgen more products than I have 😉 hehe
There aren’t even enough to fill a top five for cool-toned bronzers 🙁
LOL, just setting Blush/Bronzer in Brown/Taupe with Neutral OR Cool undertones that are permanent yields a whopping five choices: http://www.temptalia.com/swatch-gallery?type=12662,12666&color=Brown,Taupe&undertone=Cool,Neutral&availability=Permanent
Adding in Contour products, too, gets you seven. http://www.temptalia.com/swatch-gallery?type=12662,12666,12718&color=Brown,Taupe&undertone=Cool,Neutral&availability=Permanent
I have fantasies of one day creating an entire makeup range geared specifically for cool-toned people. LOL
Why it’s so difficult to find cool-toned products at this point in the game is a mystery!
Too Faced Sun Bunny is a cool toned bronzer (has pink undertones) that works well on my light neutral toned skin. I recommend a light hand with the bronzer because it does deposit a good amount of pigment on your brush (I’ve tried both natural and synthetic bristles). I also like mixing Kevyn Aucoin’s Candlelight with some pale blush in the Winter months. Good luck!
Surratt Grisaille is excellent.. but I might be stretching it to call it a bronzer??
I have the UD Bittersweet blush and gloss and love them !
Yayyyy!
I love the look of the purple-y ones (the clinique and UD). Never worn a purplish blush, because I don’t think it would suit me, but they make me want to try.
You definitely gotta give a shot, A! If you have any purple eyeshadows in your stash, that might be a nice way to play with it 🙂
I got pansy pop and I’m loving it. Purplish blushes work suprisingly well on my skin tone.
So glad to hear it! Any other purple-y blushes you’d recommend, Staci?
I like plum pop too. There was a purplish bouncy blush I really loved. I even hit pan on it. Can’t remember who made those. Maybelline? I just got MUFE #2 pallet. I’ve tried using that one, but it’s hard to get a brush in :/
The new Stila Aqua Glow blush in Water Blossom is a really pretty pink violet with buildable color.
Pansy pop and Pie are both on my wishlist. Love these!
They’re so fun 😀
Will pansy pop work with a warm skin tone – I have melon pop and it’s perfect for me.
Yes, I think it will!
I think I want some pie… 🙂
Ha!
I definitely need that UD blush! The Colour Pop one looks so vibrant and pretty too though
Both are quite nice!
I love these colors! I have Pansy Pop and Bittersweet. I adore Pie. My next ColourPop order is going to be huge. 😉
lol! Can’t wait to see that haul 😉
I have Clinique Pansy Pop and love it. I wonder how the Urban Decay choice would work on very fair skin…do you think it would be too dark?
I think it would still work on fair skin!
These look wonderful!
However, I’m just not on a blush “kick” right now – I’m actually content with the paltry 20 or so that I currently own. 🙂
Even so, I wish I could find a dupe for MAC “Tippy” Beauty Powder blush from Hello Kitty a few years back; it seems to be pretty much my perfect pink blush.
Recommendations, anyone?
20 is by no means paltry!
I am in love with ColourPop Pie! Thinking that this may be one that I could get away with even though my skintone has a fair bit of olive in it. I already know that UD Bittersweet wouldn’t look too great on me though. It would remind me too much of a bruise. So Pie it will be for me!
Pie it is!
I love that purple blushes like Pansy Pop and Bittersweet are becoming more mainstresam!
Me too!!
It’s no longer around, sadly, but MAC’s Her Blooming Cheek is one I have to mention, in addition to my standard answer to blush questions – Tarte Natural Beauty. Loving the look of Nars Desire but it’s a bit redundant for me – I’m trying to move into slightly different shades and just now, I’m trying to decide between purchasing Sin or UD’s Rapture (I don’t need ’em both; I tried them last week and they are very similar on my skin but I’m leaning toward Sin…)
That’s a pretty one! 🙂
Lavender Pop would be my choice!
Awesome!
Oh, I love all of these! And I don’t have any of them. Must go and check Nars Desire out, and Bittersweet, as soon as the counter at the store actually opens. I wonder it Pansy Pop is available here. This is beginning to sound like a quest 🙂
A quest for purple! I support this.
I really want to try that Urban Decay blush.
Have you swatched any of the shades from the new formula?
