Brown based blushes like MAC Warm Soul and Benefit Rockateur are my favourite!
Pink & peach!
Peachy coral. Without a doubt.
I love using HOOLA by Benefit as a neutral sculpting blush. Nice, matte, and the perfect texture. After that I like Nars Orgasm or Benefit Coralista (or Throbb) as my “pop” shade.
Rose Gold (as in Benefits Rockateur).
I prefer the edgy sculpted effect a N*de blush llike Tarte exposed gives. I want to try my hands at Nars Douceur blush. In fact I’m looking for the perfect browny pink peach blush which is neither too pink nor too peach just neutral. Any recommendations?
I’m not sure what your skin tone is, but I’m NW10/13 and MAC’s Cubic blush really fits that description on me. =)
CHANEL Orchid rose is the most stunning natural tan-rose-peachy-mauvy blusher. You should give it a try
Becca Beach Tint in the color FIG 🙂
Like my lipsticks, it depends on the season. This winter I mostly wore a muted reddish brown (Sleek’s Fenberry), or NARS Taos, which a lot of people consider a summer colour but I find it gives a very nice winter flush. At other times, I wore a more muted nude colour like Sleek’s Suede or the bronzy NARS Lovejoy.
This spring, I’ve been wearing pinky corals (NARS Torrid and Sleek Coral) or peach (Sleek Life’s a Peach).
(And yes, these are my two favourite brands of blushes!)
Oops – meant to reply in the main section. Divya, I was going to suggest Sleek’s Suede for you if you can get it. It depends on your skin tone though. Mine is NC40-42 and Suede is very subtle on me. If you like shimmer then a great pinky-brown is Sleek’s Sunrise.
Mac Sincere is awesome for that! I love my peachy browns
Tarte exposed!
Corals and red browns. 🙂
Pink-peach or coral, preferably cream blush, since I can’t always be bothered to try and find a brush for powders.
Coral-oranges!
I think it suits my skintone the best!
Soft, light pinks with a hint of warmth.
Coral or warm pink!
Light to medium pinks.
I gravitate towards orange and browns the most.
Corals or peachy pinks.
Definately rockateur, it is muy favorite Blush for spring, winter, fall,
Etc
peachy-coral
I love to apply peachy blushes in summers, and my favourite is the balm frat boy blush, Artdeco blush no. 39, Rimmel mono blush in santa rose.
…I really have no idea! It completely depends on the colors in the rest of my look (or vice versa).
Hm, I only really have two blushes, and they’re both pink, so… pink! 😀 I’m trying to branch out a bit, though…
Same boring answer as always – Tarte Natural Beauty. Simply my best blush on all counts!
I love this one too…great on fair coolish toned skin like mine applied with a light hand. You might also like Tarte True Love and Bobbi Brown Apricot. They’re in that same family.
I would say coral; next would be plums.
Exvibit A by NARS, and MAC springsheen.
I usually go for bodyshop’s cheek tint. It’s reddish and matches my real blush most accurately.
Nars Luster and Madly.
Definitely nudes and corals
MAC Desert Rose is my Holy Grail blush. It is such a perfect darker pink. It never looks bad and is natural enough to wear even if I’m not doing full makeup (just concealer and powder). I cannot express how much I love it.
Definitely Coral. Shimmery coral to be precise =)
I love to apply pinks and coral colors on my cheeks…coral is the color which is very popular in fashion industry but unfortunatley I dont have much coral blushes in my little stash….I only have mac sheerone blush in peaches and its just love
I’m always reaching for my NARS multiple in Maui (kind of a dusty rose). Such a natural flush (for my NC-10-15-ish) complexion.
I really love coral, peachy blushes, but I just cannot figure out a way to make them look right on my NW15 skin tone. So, instead I reach for light pinky blushes like NARS Sex Fantasy or nudes like Benefit Rockateur.
I feel the same way about my skin tone, and I’ve been sticking to pinkish shades lately. But I’ve found Nars Orgasm is a good coral that I can pull off (well I guess that’s the appeal of Orgasm is that most people can pull it off, haha).
Either a peachy pink like Orgasm or a Pink with subtle lavender and brown in it like Armani #2.
I think it would have to be pink. Even though I’m NW15, I find that even a vibrant pink blush (like MAC “Deep Pink”), if applied carefully and sparingly with a good fan brush, gives me a natural-looking youthful “flush.”
I also wear reds and plms, applied in the same manner.

It’s probably a tie between coral, natural looking pinky-browns (like benefit rockateur) and plum.
Pinky browns! My favorite blush is Rock & Republic Shameless!
Cool light to medium pinks are best for me. I have rosacea and red broken veins so I have to avoid anything that makes me look flushed or red in the face. Already have enough of that!
Honestly, I reach for something different every time! 😀
My faces are MAC Melba, Warm Soul, and Tarte Exposed!
pink pink pink! like benefit dandelion or tarte dollface
lately lavender
Specifically Cover Girl Classic Pink. Works with everything. Resists fading longer than my Nars blushes.
pinks like mac well-dressed, ysl blush radiance #4, and tom ford wicked. I have very pale nc/nw05 skin, if that shade even existed, and dark hair.
Berry/plum or bronze. NARS Sin and Lovejoy are my go-to’s. My skin is light olive with a kind of rosy flush to it, so the ever popular corals and peachy pinks just kind of sit on top of my skin and look like they don’t belong there.
None really.. I always dab a little of the lipstick I am wearing that day on the apples of my cheecks, and good to go! The base is always my go-to bronzer.
Pink
Toasted Almond by Black Radiance
Peachy pinks!
Peaches and brown bases like too faced peach beach,benefits rockateur and pinched my em, peach princess by maskcara
Orange/peach tones. I just love the way they look on my skin tone!
Terracota ones and corals..
The color I blush naturally is very pink, so I usually go for pink (e.g. Tarte Exposed, Dior Rosy Glow, Tarte Dollface, Burberry Cameo), it just looks natural on me.
I don’t own many blushes, but I have a few that are in the same coral-y with shimmer family: Bella Bamba, Tarte Glisten, and I can’t remember the shade of Urban Decay cream blush, but yeah.
I’ve mainly worn Rockateur lately, or the shade in the Tarte Be Matte-nificent palette, when I’ve worn blush. I tend to go super subtle on blush, I mainly wear foundation to cover up redness in that area, so I’m hyper critical about adding it back with another product.
Anything coral, peach, or orange!
