If you’ve followed my favorites, you’ll know that I favor more shimmery blush, and specifically, luminous blush. The kind of shimmer that doesn’t read frosted or metallic but more of glowing sheen. Here are some of my favorites of the moment!
Chanel Golden Sun is Beautiful. Will be my 1st Chanel blush.
Awesome 😀
I use Ballerina as a highlight. I’ll have to try it as a blush! Nice tip. Thanks! 🙂
I like it as a highlight, but it is a super easy “everyday” kind of blush for me, too!
OMG, I need to check out NARS Lovejoy! I was eyeing Chanel Golden Sun and Chanel Malice, but it looks like the 2 had a baby and called it Lovejoy 🙂
Haha! 😉
Really pretty picks – I want Burberry Blossom now; I love the one Burberry Blush I already have (Tangerine) despite my minor nitpick that the packaging is literally twice as big as it needs to be.
Burberry’s blush formula is so good — you so rarely hear about it!
These are all so beautiful and have that lovely glow-factor!
My favorite ones out of these would definitely be Nars Lovejoy, Laura Geller Ballerina, and MAC’s Make You Mine and Love Thing.
One of my own personal picks would have to be UD Rapture Afterglow Blush.
Rapture was highly considered but ultimately I couldn’t decide if it was better for warm or cool, LOL.
I cannot figure that one out either! It can look warm or cool depending on what I wear with it. Confusing shade!
Rapture would be great on a neutral-toned list, if you do one.
These are all lovely picks.
There’s nothing I love more than a luminous, warm blush! I’ve been loving the Balm’s Balm Desert lately. It has the most natural lovely sheen. I also like NARS Madly (of course), and Clinique Nude Pop. Golden Sun is definitely on my wish list!
Balm Desert is nice, Kat! I think you will like Golden Sun if you like Madly and Nude Pop 🙂
Great blushes – Chanel makes really good ones. I love both their colours the best. Thank you for this review list Christine.
Chanel does! My pleasure, Genevieve.
Please do cool-tone edition 😀
I did!
Malice is always a stunner!
Agreed!
I love shades like Chanel’s Golden Sun, but they are generally too warm and brown for my NW10/15 skintone. Maybe as a bronzer, if I actually wore it.
I like my blushes either matte or with a slight sheen. I love Chanel’s Fleur de Lotus for the summer, and NARS Angelika is my go-to in the winter.
Have you tried Chanel Jersey? That might be better!
Malice and Peach Pop are sooooo pretty! I love warm blushes like these.
Me too!
I usually don’t experience longevity problem even with infamous products and I love Mac Make You Mine. But it stays about an hour on me. Never had such a problem before.
Wow! That is crazy 🙁
