5 Beautiful Coral Blushes for Summer

As a coral fiend, summer is often one of my favorite times of the year for new products, because brands tend to release corals, but there are plenty of corals to choose from year-round. Here is my current list of favorites! What are yours?

  1. Urban Decay Quiver — a bold, coral-red
  2. Makeup Geek Love Affair — a warm, pink-coral
  3. Chanel Malice — a luminous coral
  4. Clinique Peach Pop — a shimmery, peachy-coral
  5. Tom Ford Love Lust — a luminous, medium-dark coral

These are all so beautiful. I don’t have any of these yet. I love coral blush and I think it’s my most flattering blush shade. My favorite coral blushes are MUFE HD Cream Blush 410 (Coral), Sleek LIfe’s a Peach, Milani Rose Blush in Coral Cove, The Balm Instain in Swiss Dot, and Tarte Bashful from the Pin-Up Palette.

Coral isn’t my most flattering shade but, I tell ya, Coral Punch from Sephora (in a LE palette of theirs) is fabulous. I didn’t think I’d wear it at all but I do wear it. The other coral-ish shades I have and can wear and like wearing are Benefit Coralista and Tarte Captivating, which I got in the Aqualillies palette (not sure if it was exclusive to this palette or if it’s available on its own). I sure wish Milani was readily available in Canada. I have Hot Mama (in the Balmbini palette) – I should give it another whirls as I remember liking it even more than Coralista.

I need that clinique cheek pop! And maybe that Chanel blush too, but I just bought the Chanel Rose Glacier blush so will have to wait a bit.

Can I ask what kind of blush you use for the chanel brushes? Somehow I have problems with making them work

Ooh, I love coral! These all look gorgeous and I only have one of them?! I was planning on getting one of the new Urban Decay blushes but I couldn’t decide which one. I think my mind is made up now. It was between Quiver and Crush but Quiver it is!

Illamasqua – Sophie (powder).
Vasanti – Rockies (powder; Canadian brand).
Soap & Glory – can’t think of the name, but it’s a wheel-shaped blush with wedges of different shades that, swirled together, make for a really lovely peachy shimmery blush.
Daniel Sandler – Trip watercolour blush. Which, okay, is actually orange, but it’s a great perk-up colour.
Revlon – cream blush.
Stila – Mango lip and cheek stain.

At the moment, I have some on my little (LoL) wishlist: ColourPop Quarters and Get Leid, I also like Clinique Peach Pop, although seeing how many people have thought that I was wearing a dark coral when I’ve had Cola Pop on makes me wonder though! The only corally blush I own is Nyx Pinched and Nars Orgasm, but now I would love to try one w/o the gold sparkles or shimmer.
