If you could create your own blush right now, what would you create? What color? Finish? Type? Share!
I’d love a cream-to-powder version of Tom Ford’s Love Lust! So a warm coral with a luminous sheen, but in a cream-to-powder formula (like Chanel Le Blush Creme de Chanel or MUFE HD Blush).

I’d love a cream-to-powder finish as well. The shade would be peachy-coral as I find that it looks more natural on my face. 🙂
I think it will be fun to create a crazy coloured blushes, like a baby blue, lavender, pastel pinks etc
Too Faced put out a blush with gold shimmers during the holidays that was different from other blush shimmeryness that I’ve encountered. I’d love to find a blush like that that was a plum color rather than pink.
If you could choose only 5 makeup brushes for the rest of your life which ones would they be
Oh my god, THIS ONE: https://twitter.com/thenotice/status/464859691730731008 (sorry for the link!) It’s actually just a super inaccurate product photo by the brand, but man, I want it SO BAD now!
I would absolutely love a purple version of Physicians Formula Happy Booster blush. Can you imagine those cute hearts in a purple tone? It would be adorable!
A cream bronzey mauve blush. Think Tarte Exposed but in a cream formula. No shimmer but still Dewey.
It will be coral for sure! my be a slightly softer texture Tarte Blissful.. would be my dream blush or something like Chanel’s destiny in powder form will just be the only two I wear! 🙂
Hm…I’d make a blush with the same texture as those Le Blush Creme de Chanel, but in a true, saturated violet-lavender 😀 Obviously, it would be perfectly blendable from ‘wowzers-editorial’ to ‘as-natural-as-purple-gets-flush’.
I’d be all over that one!
A perfectly textured deep, cool raspberry rosy plum cream blush with soft pink gold shimmer.
Something like it probably exists, but I’d like Estee Lauder’s Sensuous Rose in a really good cream formula.
I really want a deep, warm plum blush. Something similar to MAC Animal Instincts but matte with a tiny bit more purple. It would be the most perfect fall blush ever!
Something warm and coral, fo sho 🙂
Mine would be a very light pinky/champagne blush with a hint of shimmer. xxx
Kirsty – Effortlessly Excessive.
I would create a Tom Ford blush in a softer neutral colour with a hint of shimmer. Something like a cross between Chanel accent and NARS sin, but far less shimmer.
A warm coral-pink with a slightly orange/copper sheen (kind like the sheen you seen in some of the NARS powder blushes).
It would probably be a grey-mauve-plum colour. Something like the LE Chanel Notorious but with more mauve and plum. 🙂
I’d like that too but in more of a sculpting way!
In the early 90s, either Covergirl or Maybelline (I think Covergirl, though) had a trio of lavender blushes (blush, contour, highlight) that was really natural looking. I can’t remember the name of the set, but I’d love to recreate those. They were the perfect shades of lavender blush and they applied nicely. With today’s better makeup formulas, I’d bet they’d be a dream.
They were powder blushes, which would be my perferred formula as well. Does anyone else remember those? Is anyone else old enough to remember those? 😀
I’m pretty sure the first blush I ever got (from my Mom for Christmas in ’94) was a trio in that line. It was definitely peachy, though…but I’m thinking you may be right on the Covergirl leanings, if I remember the packaging correctly, I think it was one of theirs.
I’m 90% sure it was Covergirl. I didn’t wear Maybelline as much. Thanks for the help remembering.
More than likely it was CoverGirl… Maybelline did the same type of trios, as well, but I distinctly remember them in 4 groupings: Pink, Plum, Coral, & Peach, and they were supposed to coordinate with ones “season”. I had the pink, plum, and peach, LOL! CoverGirl just put out several trios, and there seemed to be more variety. I didn’t have any, as CG face products really irritated my skin back then.
Thank you, also! I think you are right about Maybelline having the seasons trios. I’m thinking I had a few of the Covergirl trios, but the lavender was my favorite, and I had lavender lipstick (rare in those days), too. I don’t remember at all who did the lipstick, but they went together great.
I’d create a cream blush that was the perfect mix of coral, pink, and a brown plum sort of color that would have a slight sheen but actually dry down. It would be some sheer to medium pigment. Mostly to even out my Rosacea when it’s flaring up and instead make me look healthy!
I would love a silky powder blush that just became part of the skin when I applied it rather than a powder on top. The color I’d created is a peach/pink/neutal that would complement any skin tone and any eye makeup. (It would not look like NARS Orgasm)
A tangerine blush with a hint of bright pink to it! I think it would play well over freckled skin and strawberry blonde hair. Gorgeous.
Something in color like Tom Ford’s Flush (coral pink), in cream to powder blush.
Xoxo

Oh, a perfect gold highlighter in Tarte’s Amazonian Clay formula. (Plenty of blush lines do this…I want one from Tarte. XD)
A powder lavender blush with a very slight of shimmer.
Fortunately, it exists… NARS Douceur! It’s absolutely *perfect* for my coloring, as well as my personal aesthetic. I’d like MAC Brit Wit in a powder, though…
I would want a pale pink or a peachy-coral (without shimmer) that shows up on my medium brown skin.
I would love Tom Ford’s blush, Love Lust done in the same consistency as Yves Saint Laurent Creme De Blush. I can lightly tap it onto my skin and it looks so natural.
A muted plummy mauve with almost metallic sheen, and no shimmer.
Lavender violet blush that stays that way on my cheeks and doesn’t turn pink. Or a peach blush that also doesn’t turn pink. I wish I could wear blush without any foundation but the redness turns everything a shade of pink or red.
Medium blued raspberry plum with silver shimmers. I love shimmery blushes! Maybelline used to make this color back in the 80s when I first started wearing makeup. They even had a vivid desert red color that my mom used to wear. Drugstore blushes are a total bore now…I guess people were pretty adventurous with color then.
I had to really think about this! I’m pretty happy with the blush collection i have – the only thing I’d create would be a cream blush the same colour as MAC Prim & Proper. That is my favourite blush and I don’t use it too often for fear of breaking it or running out! I’d prefer cream as I like the way they melt into the skin and look more natural, and don’t break when you drop them! LOL
I’d love a buttery but not powdery quad for blush: A version of YSL Red Agate, a rosy plum-pink (like Lancome Aplum meets Chanel Rose Initiale), a true blood-red like Chanel Rouge, and a contour shade (That’s on the cooler side, more taupe-brown, like Dolce and Gabbana tan).
A matte and powder one, and the color would be like a tan mauve.
I’ve been craving a medium lavender toned blush with a slight sheen. It’s very hard to find.
An exact dupe for MAC’s Instant Chic blush (LE), mine got stolen 🙁
Can’t be one for me – Gotta be more! Cream to powder blush in a deep apricot shade, same colour as the LE MAC casual cream colour in ‘Evening stroll’, a poppy red with a hint of hot pink, and a mid-toned pinky-coral.
Tom Ford blushes with satin finish, NARS Sin with satin finish and La Femme Orange Blush on Rouge but in oil–free formula and (again) in satin finish. I just love satin finish! 😀
