My absolute favorite blush is MAC - Dollymix. I have a few close seconds, also MACs: Raizin and Breezy. I also really like CARGO - Panama.
Clear Radiance for the glow without color, or Warmth for a nice, sunny tanned look. Both by Bare Escentuals.
My favorite has to be the shimmering tones bronzer that Clinique had last summer. Gives me a nice glow, just a little color, not so much shimmer that it accentuates my oily spots. I keep coming back to it!
I'm fair skinned (peachy w/ bluish undertones) with dark blonde hair and green eyes. My go to blush is definitely Nars Orgasm. Goes with everything.
Also cheaper favs I love are Sugar & Spice (similar to Orgasm) & Raspberry Sorbet (pale shimmer pink) Blush Delice by Loreal.
Georgia by Benefit is a great allover face blush for pale days. Adds a nice peachy warm glow to my skin without adding shimmer. Looks totally natural!
My absolute fav is Nars 'sin'. It looks sort of dark and plummy in the case, but goes on the perfect flush shade without being too pink. It also has a nice goldish shimmer that makes your skin really glow. I have very dark brown hair and green eyes with fair but warm toned skin.
Gotta be MAC's Mocha. It doesn't look it in the pan, but for us pale skinned gals, it gives the most beautiful winey-red shade of blush I've ever seen. Not pink, not burgandy. More red. Beautiful! Makes me feel like I just finished skiing in the Swiss Alps with my red glowy cheeks. (I can dream can't i?) ;)
I really love Benefit's Dandylion blush, it's such a great baby-pink flush for fair skin tones. For my everyday, natural, pretty look - this is the standard.
I'm also a huge fan of Nars blush in Orgasm. I stopped using it for a while--just trying some other stuff; when I grabbed it again the other day, I was shocked at how perfect it looked. I have no idea why I messed with a good thing (and none of the others I tried ever looked very good).
Oh how I miss my Body Shop Delicate Pink blush! They re-did their whole make-up line, and the new stuff just isn't the same.
Ah well. Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Blends Sheer Highlighting Blush (aaaand breathe!) is also nice. Flirty pink and a tiny bit of shimmer.
I'm a Bare Escentuals freak and I love the new Soft Focus True. Being the fairest of fair, it's gives my complexion a wonderful natural pinkish glow.
I have very fair, dry skin with large pores so any powdered products seem to accentuate these features. Also, most every blush I try either turns orange or fuscia-streaky on me! I have found only two cheek colors that work: 1. Paula Dorf's cheek color cream in Peek-a-boo, 2. a concoction I mix myself that includes Sephora lip/cheek stain, pure vegetable glycerine and a drop or two of Borghese Hydro Mineral makeup in a warm, dark color like Cafe or Cappuccino. I actually prefer my own mixture because it adds a nice glimmer to my skin with the addition of the glycerine, it's very moisturizing and the cheek tint and dark foundation mixture gives me a VERY natural sun-kissed look.
I love Benefit Dallas (the packaging as much as the blush!) which is darker than the Dandelion one. I've never liked wearing blush but this stuff is great. It gives me a really healthy glow but it's not garish. I keep getting good comments from people when I wear it - always the sign of a winner!
Nars "Orgasm"! Found out about it here, got it, LOVE it! I'm very fair with reddish-brown hair, and the color is just right, with a nice little shimmer.
