Nars Penny Lane or a light hand of Deep Throat!
Milani’s Mai Tai blush. The beautiful coral for my skintone, perfect for everyday wear.
I always wanted to try MAI TAI…have heard a lot about it…somehow my CVS is ALWAYS sold out of that Blush….
Same here! I could never find it at a drugstore, but finally caught it on sale at a beauty supply store of all places…
NARS Orgasm. It’s my go to blush for everything! Perfect flush for me always.
I second this!
Ditto! I know a lot of people don’t like orgasm but it works great with my light complexion!
Completely agree!
Cubic by MAC
I second this. Cubic by MAC is a terrific shade!
This
agree đŸ™‚
MAC Melba, it’s such a gorgeous peachy pink. It always looks amazing!
I second that! When in doubt reach for Melba I love it so much. Perfect for everyday any season any look.
For me it’s Benefit’s Sugarbomb, my everyday go-to blush~
I second that! Sugarbomb for me too!
warm soul by mac
I second this one…Warm Soul is my go to…next would have to be Orgasm đŸ™‚
Thirded!
third this, it’s perfect
I think that NARS Torrid goes with a very wide range of looks.
NARS Douceur or maybe Chanel Tweed Rose
Clinique Fresh Bloom in Peony
Lancome Sheer Amourose
NARS Douceur!!! <3
Mac’s Harmony!!
Nars Orgasm!
Benefit Dallas. It gives a nice natural-looking flush. It’s like a bronzer w/ a pretty rosy tint. MAC Warm Soul is another versatile blush.
Nars Luster
bobbi brown plum
Bobbi Brown Desert Rose or Antigua
Seconded! LOVE it!
I know this seems like the obvious answer but its the truth NARS Orgasm is literally perfection.
MAC Ablaze (limited edition)
mac warm soul, then mac prim and proper blusher
On me, All’s Good Beauty Powder Blush!
Rock & Republic Shameless
MAC MARGIN works fr me…perfect for daily wear to work or as a lighter cheek fr darker lips and eyes in the evenings đŸ™‚
MAC Gingerly!
I agree fully!
Chanel Turbulent
Mac Azalea Blossom
Christine, I’m very curious about Korres’s makeup and I’ve checked a lot of swatches for their lip products but never found one of their bluses. Would you mind do a series of swatches for that someday? That’d be so cool!
Love your blog, keep it up đŸ™‚
Benefit sugar bomb and mac msf pettiecoat
for me it’s well dressed by mac. it goes so well and natural with my complexion that I can even pull it off with warm summery looks
Mac dainty or pinch o peach
I love both Dainty and Pinch O’ Peach. For days when I want a more matte cheek I use Pinch O’ Peach and for days when I want a shimmery pink glow I use Dainty. My skin is very fair and cool toned so these blushes really help to bring some warmth into my face while still looking very natural.
Mac mighty aphrodite =) I love it so much I bought 3 back ups, lol
MAC Buff works great for me for almost every look! I am NC20
For me, Stila’s Convertible Lip & Cheek color in Lilium. It looks natural on me and it goes well with any look. đŸ™‚
Gingerly by Mac. I’m a NC 25..
MAC Pink Swoon or NARS Orgasm
I think that would be the cream blush that comes w/ the Graceful Bloom palette from Shu Uemura Mode Makeup fall collection. It’s lovely worn w/ both warm and cool colors.
First for a slightly flushed look: elf tickled pink
A more dramatic natural flush: NARS cactus flower
Both=AMAZING
For me it is the classic Nars Orgasm!
Either Nars Orgasm or Mac Dainty!
I would say it is Maybelline Mineral Blush in true peach! Love that!
I think NARS Amour is very universal. I feel that it has enough golden peach to work with everything. If I’m wearing a pink outfit, it looks pinkier, I love it!
Agreed! I love it too!
MAC’s blushbaby, my favorite đŸ˜€
Nars Orgasm
NARS Amour (basically Orgasm without the shimmer) or theBalm’s Down Boy!
NARS orgasm , goes with everything
I have to go with MAC Blooming. It’s not too cool or warm and can kind-of transform to work with any eye/lip combo. It also gives a really nice glow to the skin :).
NARS dolce vita
For me, that would be MAC mineralize blush in Love Joy. I love it! It’s just a great toasty brown color. Perfect for my NW45 skintone.
Cargo Tonga. The perfect pinky-beige.
I love the new Physicians Formula Happy Booster blush in Natural. Mostly because it’s really cute and I always want to use it no matter what look I’m going for lol
I just got the Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Powder in Beige and so far it like it. I have been thinking about getting the blush too!
MAC Gingerly
MUFEHD 8 PDA just looks like you’re blushing naturally
similar: dallas, estee lauder nude rose
(all recreate the look of blood underneath the peachy/orange/beige of skin)
I wear Bare Escentuals Glee all.the.time because it looks just like my natural flush. Actually I layer it over a little bit of Warmth (or a lot if it’s summer).
Sugarbomb for neutral colors.
MAC Oh So Fair for cool looks.
I like “Prism” by MAC
covergirl and olay cream blush in lush berry!
NYX Pecan! I love it & this compliments my NC45 skintone perfectly
I think the blush from E.L.F’s Blush/Bronzer Duo goes with anything! At least it does for me. đŸ˜€
MAC Mocha!
chanel tweed pink. it always looks good… i want more of the tweed blushes because this one is so perfect.
mac dainty, all the time..
maybelline dream mousse blush in rose!
Shu Uemura M44.
It’s a natural matte peachy color.
works well with my tanned skin.
hooray!
dolly mix! đŸ™‚
Smashbox’s Bare – the best.
mac instant chic and benefit sugarbomb
i love instant chic too!!
mac springsheen for me
I agree…
MAC Saffron eyeshadow or Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder in Deep.
NARS Deep Throat–the density with which I apply it varies with the look, but it’s been perfection for me.
MAC blushbaby
Joe Blascos Camber mauve.It is not mauve or peach,something between.Unique colour,no dupe for that! It goes with any eyeshadow/lipstick,summer&winter.Looks nothing like the swatch at online stores!
elf peachy keen
chanel number 15 goes with every look and also I think its the best choice for nude makeup
Probably Pinch O peach by MAC
Nars lovejoy. You can be heavy handed and it doesn’t matter. Looks good on all skin tones, it’s my go-to blush!
MAC instant chic! I know it’s LE but I’m glad I was able to find it! Goes with everything year round!
MAC’s Hipness or Melba
Mac Dainty or Mac Tenderling.
Nars Oasis.
NARS Deep Throat is very versitale but I wouldn’t wear it with red lips though.. MAC Peachykeen goes with everything ! =)
i love this website. thanks for all the good info. christine and everybody else đŸ™‚
Wow, this is a tough one, so I am going to say La Femme’s Golden Sunset which is peachy-coral-red color with a golden micro-shimmer and gives me a glow from within look.
NARS Sex Appeal or MAC’s the Perfect Cheek (sadly, LE but I stocked up!!)
I have two, NARS orgasm (as pretty much everyone else here) and Benefit CORALista.. weird no one has mentioned that one (or maybe I missed it?)
I really like MAC’s Fleur Power, and I use it almost every day. However, when I’m wearing a smokey or a very colorful eye, I go for Mocha by MAC.
MAC Peachykeen or sheer layer of Coralista…
They warm up my skin wonderfully without looking overdone or doll-like.
im mac nc50. love format, light over dark, sweet as cocoa, superdupernatural, sunbasque and nw 50 pressed powder to contour
MAC’s Warm Soul Mineralized Blush goes with everything.
Yes! Since I’m so pale, I need a daily fix of NARS Penny Lane or Chanel blush in Be-Bop (long discontinued).
I can order Nars only online.What colour would suit NW15-20,cool/neutral undertones,europian,dark eyes&hair? I want that natural flush:).Chanel irrèelle blush 25 in love is beutiful,cant find it anymore,so special occasions(?) nowadays for me.
Even though its on the darker side, MAC Desert Rose is my go to, and it actually works well with all the skintones I’ve ever done makeup for!
