Clinique black honey pop ( 😛 ) Benefit Bela bamba blush (DC) Becca sunlit waves bronzer/highlighter, Becca Opal highlighter, MUG romance blush (old formula!) and lastly MILK Werk lip and cheek cream!!
All I need!!
Chanel Revelation, Presage and Destiny and my three MUFE creme blushes, Kevyn Aucoin Candlelight + Starlight highlighters are my ride or dies.
I’d also like a highlighter the colour of Anastasia Helia with a more natural finish, and a powder highlight the colour of Cover FX drops in Moonlight.
1. Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer
2.Fenty Killawatt Highlighter in Lighting Dust & Fire Crystal
3.Hourglass Mood Exposure
4. Clinique Cheek Pop in Nude Pop
5.Lancome Blush Subtil in Miel Glace
6. MAC Margin Blush
7. MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Highlighter in Lightscapade
8.MAC Mineralize Blush in Cosmic Force
9. Tarte Paaarty Blush
10.NARS Orgasm
MAC Margin is a nice blush for me as well, but for a similar color MAC Trace Gold works slightly better for my complexion… it’s amazing how sometimes even the smallest differences in a blush color can make an impact.
Great question!
1. Tarte Blush in Exposed
2. Tarte Pin-Up Girl Blush Palette
3. Physician’s Formula Butter Blush in Plum Rose
4. Urban Decay Afterglow Blush in Bittersweet
5. Milani Rose Powder Blush in Coral Cove
6. ABH Glow Kit in Moon Child
7. City Colour Cosmetics Intense Exposure Highlighting Powder (DC)
8. NARS Blush in Blissful
9. NARS x Man Ray Blush in Fetishized
10. Kevyn Aucoin Neo-Blush Trio in Sunset
I would keep my guerlain four seasons bronzer, becca shimmering skin perfector in rose quartz, becca shimmering skin perfector in vanilla quartz, surratt grisaille, ciate glow blush in in too deep, Urban Decay afterhour blush in quickie, Nars liquid blush in luster, Bite multistick in cashew, surratt in parfait, surratt in quimauve.
I think that would get all my bases covered.
I might not even need 10, since finding a few HG products:
Dior Rosy Glow Awakening Blush (or whatever the name is)
MAC Sweet Sentiment Blush
Dior Glowing Pink Glowing Gardens highlighter (the LE one)
but since I can pick 7 more, these are close runners up:
Tarte Natural Beauty blush
MAC Her Blooming Cheek and/or Plum Foolery blush
Urban Decay Aura highlighter
Becca Pearl Shimmering Skin Perfect (the powder one – I can never keep the names straight)
I love my other cheek products but with the ones listed above, if everything else vanished, I’d be able to cope reasonably well, after I wiped up my tears.
I can narrow it down to three:
1- Hourglass Incandescent Strobe Light
2- Hourglass Incandescent Electra Blush
3- Physician’s Formula Butter Bronzer
If this is all I had left, I doubt I would miss much from my current collection.
Ooh …good one.
1. Fenty “Chili Mango” (blush)
2. My Pretty Zombie “LSD” (shimmery/highlighting blush)
3. Aromaleigh “Pomona” (highlighting blush)
4. My Pretty Zombie Reclusa (shimmery blush)
5. UD Pirates of the Caribbean blush/highlighter palette
6. Aromaleigh “Caring Is Not An Advantage” (highlighting blush)
7. Aromaleigh “Ceres” (highlighter)
8. Aromaleigh “Divine Right” (highlighting blush)
9. NYX WInter Falls in L.A. (highlighter)
10. Milk Makeup Holographic Powder Quad
Aaaagh! Ten isn’t enough! Can’t wait to see how many people say they don’t have 10 cheek products. :-/
This is most of my cheek collection!
NARS Orgasm, Clinique Berry Pop, Clinique Blushing Blush in Cupid, Chanel Joues Contraste in Pink Explosion, MAC Mineralize Blush in Sweet Enough, Laura Mercier Baked Highlighter 01, Wet n Wild Precious Petals Highlighter, ABH Moonchild Glow Kit, Diorskin Nude Luminizer 02, and Laura Mercier Baked Powder in Bronze 02.
I’m not sure I even have 10 cheek products now. I’d keep NARS Taos, Laura Geller baked blush in Pink Grapefruit; Physicians Formula blush in Plum Rose; Benefit Benetint; Becca Backlight priming filter (I use along top of cheek bones); Chanel Tempting Beige (discontinued).
1. Blush: UD Video
2. Blush: UD Rapture
3. Blush: Rouge Bunny Rouge Orpheline
4. Contour: Makeup Geek (the fair cool one–can’t remember the name) — actually I’d probably switch this out for NYX highlighter Twilight Tryst (blue)
5. Contour: Inglot #504
6. Bronzer: Becca Capri Coast
7. Bronzer/Finishing Powder: Hourglass Radiant Light
8. Highlighter: UD Aura (pink)
9. Highlighter: Becca Opal (gold)
10. Highlighter: Inglot Intense Sparkler 11 (silver)
Oh man, where do I begin….
1.) UD x Basquiat cheek palette, because Jawbone, NOHO and Now’s The Time are in rotation constantly.
2.) DoC MÃrame highlighter
3.) MAC Burnt Pepper blush
4.) UD Rapture Afterglow Blush
5.) Essence Satin Love blush
6.) Ofra Glazed Donut highlighter
7.) Fenty Metal Moon highlighter
8.) Nars Goulue blush
9.) Nars Fetishised blush
10.) MAC Oh My, Passion! Pearlmatte Face Powder
I really love MAC Oh My Passion bronzer blush but I didn’t include discontinued or LE items
Urbane Decay all nighter foundation
Urban Decay naked skin concealer
Rimmel match perfecation loose powder
& Other Stories canvas taupe blush
Benefit gimme brow
Beccca shimmering skin perfector pressed pearl
Mac Omega eyeshadow
Bobbi Brown black ink gel eyeliner
La Roche Possay waterproof mascara
Mac velvet teddy lipstick
Arrrgh, challenge. Assuming we have to pick shades, not (Nars!) palettes. So, from the top of my head, trying to cover all bases, 1. Neutral (s): CP Aphrodisiac, Tarte Exposed; 2. Oranges: Taj Mahal And Ofra Mai Tai. 3. Plum, plumish: Mufe Dark Purple Taupe, Mood Exposure, Cabana Boy; 4. Red, dark red, browned red: #3 CE #Alluring, Burnt Pepper, Dolce Vita. Oops, no more room. Did not even look in the Nars box. Guess that I need 50, not 10, bec some all time faves are left out. No pinks or corals? No loss for me!
To KJH- I looked up mufe dark purple taupe (the name sounded interesting) and found it as an eyeshadow. Am I correct in assuming you use this as a blush? I would love to know because the color is gorgeous and I haven’t ever thought of using eyeshadow as blush. That would open up a whole new world of possibilities for me.

Highlighter:

I guess I only have 9! I don’t really wear bronzer and tend to stick to my faves for blush. I listed a bunch of highlighters but really I’d be fine with only 2 or 3 – I listed them because I had the space to and not because they’re actually holy grails of mine.
I had to really think about this.
1. BB pale pink pot rouge- #1 favorite and used almost every day.
2. BB pale pink powder blush
3. Burberry tangerine blush
4. Chanel ribbon blush-LE from several years ago
5. LM baked highlighter 01
6. Tom Ford terra bronzer
7. KA medium sculpting powder
8. Ciate blush- swirled colors, glowy looking. I can’t recall which shade I have but it’s really nice.
9. Benefit Coralista
10. Burberry white highlighter.
TelI cold survive with a lot less as I’m not a cheek person.
Nars Unfiltered I
Nars Unfiltered II
Kevyn Aucoin Creamy Glow in Hot Pink & Pravella
Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Pale Pink & Telluride (odd, but so beautiful color on me for Fall, must pull it out)
An old Versace pale peach cheek powdered blush (can’t remember the color code), but it’s the perfect light peach on me)
OOO, I had to reread the question, cheek products, not just blushes, so I’ll add:
Huda Winter Solstice Highlighter palette
Huda 3D Highlighter palette in Golden Sands
And for old time sake, The Balm Marylou Manizer
