If you had to wear only one blush forever, what would it be?
Marc Jacobs Flesh & Fantasy (discontinued) is one I’ve worn a lot and find flatters my coloring and a slew of looks, from bold to more subtle.

MAC Warm Soul or Naturally Flawless
I was sad to have missed out on the MJ Flesh & Fantasy.
Right now I would have to say Patrick Ta’s She So LA.
Ask me again in six months and there’s a good chance it will be different.
Sydney Grace Time Stops – is neutral enough to go with everything and I think probably the closest thing to my natural flush.
Either Nars Illicit or Luster blushes.
MAC “Well Dressed” is always a fave.
Becca’s Wisteria from the limited edition Blushed With Light palette. I love every shade in the palette but Wisteria looks so flattering on my skin tone and looks great with almost any look I put together.
Clinique Nude Pop
Not a blush but the Milani XL bronzer in the 01 shade is the same color as my right cheek so when I apply it on my left cheek, everything is even and brighter. It is more a mauve than a bronze color on me.
Tarte Exposed. It goes with every look. It’s one of my most used blushes of all time.
Can someone let me know where this place is that allows only 1 palette, 1 lipstick, 1 blush, etc. so that when travel opens up again, I can assiduously AVOID it???
One blush. Either Dior Rosy Glow Awakening Blush or MAC Sweet Sentiment (if having only this as my blush means they’ll re-promote it, that might be worth the deprivation of “only one blush”!).
MAC Breath of Plum, and I just now desperately checked if it’s discontinued. 😅 This weekend I sadly discovered they discontinue the Sculpting and Shaping powders and I couldn’t even get my Sculpt and Emphasize backups.
Nar Organsm or Deep Throat.
To be honest, I really am not picky with blush. You can always make it work depends on the brush your use. Any coral blush will do for me…
Agree on NARS Orgasm and Deep Throat. Either always works :). I try others and always go back to them. A good brush makes all the difference.
MAC Oh My, Passion! Because I can make it more bronzey, or more warm pink, or plummy pink depending on what area I use.
Tarte Paaarty looks natural on my skin and I can make it work with pretty much any look, so I’d go for that one if I had to. I love blush so have many options, but Paaarty is always what I reach for when I’m in a hurry and don’t want to play around with serious color matching.
Chanel Elegance, which is sadly discontinued. It just blends out so easily and I can build it up if I want to
Tarte Paaarty or Hourlglass Mood Exposure.
Mac Instant Chic. It was le and so hard to replicate.
Admittedly, I don’t own a ton of blush, but my favorite hands down is Saemmul Naked Peach. I even tolerate the fact it is scented. I’m extremely fair with cool, but not overly pink undertone and it suits me perfectly. I actually bought a backup, which I almost never do.
Dior 999 I wear it pretty sheer and it’s so pigmented that it will last me a lifetime.
At the moment I am pretty keen on The Balm’s Hot Mama blush, the right kind of coral for me.
MUFE Highlight, Sculpt and Blush in Praline, almost completely panned!
Tarte, either Dollface or Decked Out. Decked Out was a holiday LE, so I guess Dollface.
This post just reminded me I haven’t worn MAC Cheek Pollen in a while <3! Also, how excited I am for the new Pat McGrath blushes to drop…!
Nars Oasis – though I do love the Bobbi Brown powder blushes too.
Probably Besame’s Raspberry powder blush (now d/c). Their crimson rouge is awfully nice, too, but the raspberry powder shade is just so versatile for any time of year and any outfit/occasion.
Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso. I seem to keep buying rose gold blushes but I always come back to this one, hit the pan in at least 7 of these during the last 10 years!
