blush hater needs a blush to contour
Hi Ladies,
I need a blush to contour myflat face, but I usually never wear blush...
I want something wearable and nothing that screams "blush"...
I'm NC 20 in Studiofix, N2 in Face&Body, cold skintone, black hair, hazel eyes for ref.

Any ideas?

Mocha was my first MAC blush - very subtle. And it's a matte.

If you don't like anything something that SCREAMS blush, why not go with a slightly darker shade of pressed powder to countour your face, if not abused it's quite natural and allows you to play with lights and shadows giving a whole new perspective on your face.

You have black hair and nc20 skin like me!
I def. recommend peachykeen plush. Very natural and can easily be laytered for a deeper yet still natural look.
Peachykeen was my first blush and i love it!

I also recommend "strada" it's matte and it's very hard to over-apply. i'm also an NC 20. =P the MUA recommended it to me, and it works as a "contour" blush.

I am very pale (MAC foundations are too dark for me) and I like Pinch O' Peach very much.

I always use bronzers to contour. In your case, get a really light bronzer since ur very fair and avoid shimmery ones if u want the 'no-blush' look. Nudes also work ime, light browns too. Hths!
