What blush did you used to love but no longer does it for you?
MAC Margin blush used to be one of my go-to blushes, but I find that I prefer a different finish on my blushes now.

NARS Orgasm used to be my go-to for years, but I found brands/shades that work better for me.
I used to wear MAC Gingerly a lot but i noticed the color deepened on my skin as the day went by so i have been wearing MAC Naturally Flawless and Clinique Aglow instead.
Tom Ford Gratuitous – I loved it but I’m too fair for deeper plum shades; they’re too stark on me.
Probably MAC Desert Rose, which was my first MAC blush and for a long time, my only blush.
I loooovvvveedd the Melt cream blushlight in Polished (like, huge pan in it!) but I noticed lately the finish is a bit too metallic-looking (?) instead of glowy and cute. I plan to finish it off, but since I never liked that vanilla bean smell, I’m not buying the formula again.
I used to love Orgasm but now feel that it has way too much glitter for me. On a more general note, I have lost patience with NARS blushes as a whole. I feel the quality has gone down and they tend to hard pan faster for me than other formulas (I have MAC blushes that have lasted longer than any of my NARS). The NARS colors also used to be quite special, but I find I can dupe them easily these days in formulas I like better.
Yes, I agree, NARS blushes aren’t what they used to be!
MAC Pink Swoon! Too light of a cool pink for my complexion, and so it just looks “off” on me. I do love those blue-pinks we’ve been seeing a lot recently, but if I ever jump that shark, it will need depth and a nice balance between being too cool, and yet still have that look.
NARS Orgasm. I still wear it occasionally. I tend not to wear pinky peach blushes. I wear more nudes or nudey-pinks!!
Same here!
I used to like Clarin’s Sweet Peach blush but found that it didn’t really last long on me at all. Same for the EA one. The Shiseido blush that I am currently using up is OK but isn’t worth the full price (lucky I got it on sale) as there is not much product in the pan.
I don’t know why blushes don’t excite me. If it adds any color to my face, I’m happy!! 😜
Nars orgasm.
I can’t think of a specific shade. I used to like the Stila Convertible Colors back in the day, but now there are other cream blushes I like better. I also really used to like Wet n Wild Color Icon blushes, but the reformulation they did a few years ago ruined them for me.
Tarte’s tipsy, just not into the matte finish.
Bobbi Brown Peony and MAC Extra Dimension Blush in Just a Pinch.
