none in particular, since i like to experiment, but these shades:
summer: bright, hot pinks that remind me of Barbie (think NARS angelika?) and MUFE aqua cream peach #5 for swimming and exceptionally humid days
fall: deep rose (think NARS oasis?), but lots of rose blushes are good so i usually just pick one up from the drugstore. i love rose blush with a slightly vampy lip in fall!
spring: pale, pastel pinks that remind me of a newborn baby girl (think benefit bamba bella used with a light hand? or benefit sugarbaby)

This summer has been: the balm hott mamma, and now deep throat
I just bought Nars zen and a smashbox matte bronzer as well which I wear together; and they suprisingly don’t look over powering..they give the perfect nude warmth if that makes sense? This fall I think maybe I will play a bit more with zen.

I’m not really big on blushes, but I’m am learning the joys of layereing MAC cream colour base Improper Copper with the MAC Studio Moisture Tint (Dark). I use the SMT as a base/foundation, then pat on some Improper Copper in the cheek area, then lightly brush over it with whatever is left on the brush of the SMT. It gives just a little luminesence and coral flush to the cheek. The hint of color looks more natural. I also use the MAC Pearl cream colour base as well the same way (on different days, obviously!). This is my summer blush routine. I’m not sure how it will change for fall or winter.

Spring: a true pink. Proabably my sleek pixie pink. It has amazing pigmentation and is so pretty with my cool undertones
I don’t have a go to blush for changing seasons. I wear whatever I am feeling that day. For the longest time I was wearing Benefit’s Benetint. Now I have amassed a collection of blushes and trying to rotate them. So far my favorite it Tarte’s Dollface.
I tend to switch my blushes out in spring/summer, depending on the look I’m wearing and what my mood is, but for fall/winter, I almost ALWAYS reach for Nars Mata Hari
I don’t really do blush by season…I just wear whatever suits my mood/outfit/other makeup.
