Your skin tone/coloring: above with freckles, green eyes, warm brown hair.
Favorite powder blush formula? The BareMinerals Blonzer formula… it is stunning and truly makes my cheeks look air brushed; I’ve never used anything like it.
Favorite everyday powder blush shade? Usually a peachy-pink; it’s what looks most natural on me. When I want to go more intense, I go for a coral.
Favorite applicator for powder blush? I have a very old Morphe angled blush brush that I got years ago in a “vegan” set, that is my favorite to use, specifically with my BareMinerals Blonzer. I also really love the Rephr 24 for blush.
Ohhhh I can’t wait to try my Blonzer now!! Sounds amazing!
Your skin tone/coloring: pale, yellowish, blue eyes
Favorite powder blush formula? Illamasqua always and forever. Almay Healthy Hues blushes are also really nice, and I always have a fondness for Kiko’s baked blushes.
Favorite everyday powder blush shade? Illamasqua Naked Rose, Essence All You Need Is Pink Mosaic Blush, Almay Healthy Hues blush in Nearly Nude
Favorite applicator for powder blush? Real Techniques’ kinda elongated blush brush, or a smaller angled one I have from Moda/Royal & Langnickel. I think it is just called Angled Blush?
Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes, dark hair)
Favorite powder blush formula? Satin or a skin-like matte. But I do use some very luminous ones as well.
Favorite everyday powder blush shade? Tarte Paaaarty, PML Desert Orchid or Nars Liberté. Just realized how they are all just variations on depth or sheen, lol!
Favorite applicator for powder blush? Usually a soft, but not “floppy” synthetic bristle brush.
Your skin tone/coloring: light, MAC NC 20
Favorite powder blush formula? Bareminerals Blonzers, Clinique Cheek Pops or basically anything from MAC.
Favorite everyday powder blush shade? Bareminerals Blonzer in Kiss of Pink, Clinique Nude Pop, MAC Gingerly or Sunbasque
Favorite applicator for powder blush? I use an Up & Up blush brush I picked up from Target years ago. They no longer make makeup brushes. It’s dome shaped, somewhat compact , perfect for my high cheekbones. I find super fluffy blush brushes like the real techniques are too big and don’t distribute product how I like!
YOUR SKIN TONE/COLORING:
Under my name; dark plum hair; hazel/green eyes.
FAVORITE POWDER BLUSH FORMULA?
Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush; NARS; Dior Rouge Blush; Dior Diorskin Nude Luminizer Blush; anything by the balm.
FAVORITE EVERYDAY POWDER BLUSH SHADE?
Tarte Exposed; Sydney Grace Pressed Blush in Paris Skies; Etude Lovely Cookie Blusher in Pink Brownie; Estee Lauder Limited Edition Pure Color Envy Blush in Rebellious Rose; e.l.f. Blush in Bright Pink (neither bright nor pink, but peach).
FAVORITE APPLICATOR FOR POWDER BLUSH?
Real Techniques Blush Brush (fluffy brush with pink handle); for lighter shades, the Luxie 504 Rose Gold Large Angled Face Brush.
I love your taste in makeup!!!

Your skin tone/coloring: Light-medium with warm yellow undertones, dark brown hair and eyes
Favorite powder blush formula? MAC Powder Blush (especially the mattes)
Favorite everyday powder blush shade? Forever and ever MAC Breath of Plum (although MAC Harmony would be theoretically a more everyday shade)
Favorite applicator for powder blush? It was discontinued eons of year ago… the Sephora Angled Blush Brush from 2014-2015 (the two newer edition aren’t that good)… MAC 168 (Large Angled Contour Brush) is somewhat close, but not the ideal. But in general I like small angled brushes with dense but tapered hair.
Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
Favorite powder blush formula? MAC’s Sheertone Shimmer and Extra Dimension finishes, as well as the no-longer-available BECCA Luminous blush finish.
Favorite everyday powder blush shade? a plummy pink or deep pink
Favorite applicator for powder blush? I have an embarrasingly old slightly angled blush from Pur Minerals and it’s pretty much the only blush brush I use.
Your skin tone/coloring: Medium yellow-neutral
Favorite powder blush formula? Nars!!!
Favorite everyday powder blush shade? That said, I don’t wear a Nars brush for everyday wear, I prefer Aerin Multi Color for Lips and Cheeks 01 Natural, Surratt Artisque Blush in Duchesse over most things and any old one that I don’t even know the name, found while clearing out things; it’s a pale taupe brown color that simply works, so it is out and in use.
Favorite applicator for powder blush? Wayne Goss 02 & Sonja G Face Two
Nars Blush, so sorry, Ha!
