I mostly have Lancome blushes, so I would pair this with either Mauve Coquette or Rose Fresque. I may have to go blush shopping if I win this 🙂

Courting lilac would go nicely with breath of plum, gentle, or even pink swoon. The blue notes would go lovely with that rich lilac color. Though gentle blush would work well with the golden undertone in both products.

A VERY light dusting of Benefit’s Thrrrob, and on top a touch of MAC’s Shell Pearl for a bit of shimmer! 😀

It is almost the holidays after all 😛

I pair it with Briar Rose from the Disney Villians collection. I also pair it with Gone Romancin, Docile or Like Venus glosses. I love the color Courting Lilac and wish it was not a limited edition!

I’d probably pair a lilac lip like that with maybe a yellow-toned pink blush. Something like this Rimmel blush I own called Santa-Rose. Nothing quite peachy, but definitely a yellow-pink.

MAC Lilicent creamblush. Not too warm but balances out the coolness of the lipstick – and also I think it would pair nicely with the gold shimmer running through the lippie.

I would team this gorgeous Courting Lilac lipstick, which is slightly out of my comfort zone, with a hint of shimmer and a punch of sheer colour, to transform my normally “safe” makeup look into one with a bit of extra ‘oomph’. Mac Powder blush in Flirt & Tease would not only compliment my new daring lip shade, it would also create a real ‘wow’ factor.

I would pair it with either the Briar Rose Blush or Bite of Apple from the MAC Venomous Villians Collection depending on the darkness of the lipstick. Otherwise I’d always feel save and pretty with the NARS orgasm blush, paired with a laguna bronzer for cheekbones for all of the colors.

I’d pair it with Briar Rose blush or bite of apple from the MAC Venomous Villians collections or a duo Laguna-Orgasm blush from NARS. I love the colors and they would all look good with one of these three blushes.

Pink Swoon. 🙂 (I would have had another suggestion but honestly I don’t have many blushes — was going to get Her Blooming Cheek today as a birthday treat, but it was just too miserable out, weather-wise)

Thanks for the giveaway!

i would pair it with mac well dressed 🙂 i know that sounds boring
but cuz something red or orange would be a weird contrast
and i was gonna say coy girl but i’m afraid it’ll make the whole face look too purple

I would pair this with a Gold blush like Trace Gold and Honour both by Mac. Nars also has a pretty gold one called Sertao that would look amazing with this. Then on the eyes I would put a deep dark green like Nars Rajasthan for night or a brightening pale yellow for day.

I would pair this lovely lipstick with either my second-favorite Blush (Dr Hauska) or my all-time favorite: the all-natural making out with my lovely blush. Which may cause me to have to reapply…

I would pair this with MAC Bite of An Apple blush<3 I think the purpley tone of the lipstick and the pink tone of the blush would look great together!!

I would pair this with Taupe from NYX. Both are cool toned and this blush will let the lipstick shine on its own. Maybe add an electric teal on the eye. For a softer girly look, i would pair with NYX in Raisin which is a soft neutral blush with a touch of mauve.

POSEY! I’m pairing everything with it these days!!! Love how great it blends with my 130 brush (I like that one for my foundation too so I’m thinking of ordering a second one!)
