Blush Recommendations for NC15. Any Brand.
Hello,
I have recently become interested in blush and am looking for some new shades. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on blushes that look good on NC15 skin. I have dark brown hair and eyes if that makes any kind of a difference. Any brand is great! Thank you!

I'm obsessed with Frankly Scarlet (MAC) right now. It'll give you a snow white sort of look.

My trainer always commented how beautiful Peachykeen looked on my NC15 skin. I love cubic, pink swoon, and ladyblush.

I'm NC15 and I use Love Thing (MAC) pretty much every day - it's my go-to blush.

Re: Blush Recommendations for NC15. Any Brand.
I'm nc15 and I love Pinch o'Peach - hey, it's why I named my blog after it.
I also love Dollymix, Fleur Power is great if you like a bright cheek (if you're not afraid of colour). Those are all on the pink side. If you like peaches, I love Peaches and Cantaloupe (pro shade)

Cover Girl Cheekers blush in Plumberry Glow. It's not plum at all, it's a bright pink similar to Dollymix.

Re: Blush Recommendations for NC15. Any Brand.
My favorite blush of ALL TIME is Dior's Harmonie Blush in Rose Brazilia. I've nearly hit pan with it and I've never hit pan on any blush.

Re: Blush Recommendations for NC15. Any Brand.
NARS Orgasm is great, both for pale skin and beginners, since it goes on pretty sheer but is buildable.

Re: Blush Recommendations for NC15. Any Brand.
I normally wear pale coral/peach shades but was pleasantly surprised when I tried MAC Azalea Blossom yesterday. I've stayed away from pink blushes since there tends to be a fair amount of pink in my skin, but was pleasantly surprised by pairing this one with a pink lip and found it easy to apply. (I'm still somewhat of a beginner when it comes to blush.) I might try some other pink/lavender shades now. It sounds like with your complexion you will be able to pull off lots of shades!

Re: Blush Recommendations for NC15. Any Brand.
Since you are NC, you should search for blushes with warm tones, as peach or bronze colours. Peach colours are useful for just give to your skintone a warm glow, bronze is also suitable for sculpting. But since you are pale, maybe Ripe Peach (MAC Spring Colour Forecast collection) is the best choice!
