I’m very boring when it comes to blush; I’ve found what works, so I don’t find a need to explore others ATM.
Just goes to prove we all different beasts and cannot agree on everything! LoL 🙂 I died laughing when I read your post because I think we are at opposite ends of the spectrum on this one.
My fetish is eyeshadow. I have to cut corners *somewhere*, LOL. Also, I used to wear more blush, and I do actually own several, but it just got a bit overwhelming trying to find the right blush/eyeshadow combination, which added more time to getting ready, so when I found shades that work for any occasion, I pretty much settled for those. I did wear a random blush from a LORAC gift set from the 2010 Holiday collection last night (it was the first time I used the set since I bought it-I have a problem).

Oh God. I plead the Fifth. With my blush addiction, choosing just one is really impossible. (Esp. as, with my OCD, I’d have to distinguish between light -vs- dark eyeshadow shades for the purples and greens.) I refuse to bore you all! LOL. But it’s fascinating to read everyone else’s answers. 🙂

Your skin tone/coloring:
— very fair, but with mixed undertones (my veins are definitively blue-green, and i wear warm/yellow tones as easily as cool/blue or pink ones… weird, i know). i used to use clinique’s city stick in ivory, but it’s discontinued so i recently switched to laura geller real deal foundation stick in light. it’s a skosh off my natural color, but not bad.
What’s your favorite blush to pair with green eyeshadow?
— a bright coral blush, like neon orange m.a.c. pigment or revlon photo ready blush in coral (both my current favorites). they go on pretty sheer initially, which is how i like them when i’m wearing green shadow.
What’s your favorite blush to pair with brown eyeshadow?
— this one is tough b/c i wear brown shadow a lot, but in different ways. my favorite for fall evenings is a more glam look, so i use m.a.c.’s dark diversion fluid line. (i use a lot of my makeup as pigments, lol, and mixing medium + fluidline is a great blush when you want a big dose of color.)
What’s your favorite blush to pair with purple eyeshadow?
— for something different, i use anna sui’s pinkish yellow blush duo, using a bit more yellow than pink. if the shadow is vibrantly purple or quite dark, i layer it for more color impact.
Your skin tone/coloring: light/ neutral

What’s your favorite blush to pair with green eyeshadow? I guess it depends on whether it’s a bright green or a smoky or neutral green. Bright green, I’d wear a bright pink blush. Otherwise, a muted plum blush like Fyrinnae Mesmerize.
