With fall coming around the corner, reader Maribel’s suggestion for a top five on blush picks for fall was spot-on! In this list, I wanted a good variety in color, not just a bunch of plums. I thought about the colors we tend to see more often during fall, like berries, plums, and burgundies, but not just on cheeks but lips, too. When I wear a stronger lip, I like pairing it with cool pinks or neutral browns/beiges, so cheeks can still have color and definition but not too much color.

1. NARS Dolce Vita — medium-dark, rosy plum with a satin finish
2. Burberry Earthy — satin-finished medium brown-beige
3. Chanel Inspiration — slightly cool-toned, light-medium pink
4. MAC Ambering Rose — warm, rusty plum
5. NARS Oasis — shimmering plum

What’s your favorite blush for fall?
