Your skin tone/coloring: above with freckles, green eyes, brown hair.

Least favorite blush formula? A super matte and super pigmented blush. They tend to be patchy on me.

Favorite blush formula? BareMinerals Blonzers. They are stunning.

Favorite blush finish. Satin to glowy. If I can get a little bit of glow and skip highlight, then I love it.

Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes, dark hair)

Least favorite blush formula? Dry, dusty looking mattes, or conversely; dewy or glossy balm blushes that don’t dry down.

Favorite blush formula? Baked geleé and skin-like satins or mattes.

Favorite blush finish? Anything that looks like skin! Probably why I love MAC Blushbaby and many a Nars, PMG Labs, or Hourglass blush.

Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
Least favorite blush formula? really dry looking mattes and also creams and liquids as I find them a lot of work (but I’m willing to work at them for a good one)
Favorite blush formula? the “old” Dior Rosy Glow and some MAC blushes – a few Mineralize ones and the Extra Dimension blushes.
Favorite blush finish? Glow, glow, glow – what I love about the MAC Mineralize blushes in the past was the way they sort of buffed/blended to a gorgeous sheen that glowed but didn’t have glitter.

Your skin tone/coloring: light, MAC NC 20

Least favorite blush formula? Cream blushes probably. Just bc they have little staying power on my oily skin

Favorite blush formula? MAC, NARS, Clinique Cheek Pop, Bareminerals Blonzer

Favorite blush finish? Powder blushes with a sheen like NARS Orgasm

1. Very fair with cool undertones (MAC NW10)
2. Balmy/gel formulas that remain tacky
3. Powder – it’s basically foolproof
4. Satin finish without any glitter, shimmer or sparkle. I don’t want to look like a Twilight vampire in the sun.
The Dior Rosy Glow blush had my favorite finish but the reformulation ruined it. The Armani blush in Ecstacy also has the satin finish I love but I heard the other shades are different, ranging from metallic to glittery.
