Re: Favorite Blush Combinations?
I like to wear Pink Swoon, Springsheen or Fashion Frenzy with MSF Light Flush or Glissade on the top. I also wear BP Alpha Girl on the top of a blush.

Re: Favorite Blush Combinations?
I like MACs "Dolly Mix" by itself.
As far as combos I like MACs "Love Rush" on top of the loose shimmer powder.

Re: Favorite Blush Combinations?
Sunbasque is gorgeous when mixed with any other peachy/pink blush.
And yes, Dollymix is the shyaaaaat on darker/tanned skintones. It's so purrty!

I agree, Dollymix looks like clown makeup in the pan; but on the face it's really quite beautiful. I was lucky to find it at my local CCO.

Re: Favorite Blush Combinations?
I went to my freestanding to get Dollymix and my friend mentioned how everyone and their mama was buying it. He said he sold so many the past week. Must be the warmer weather because this blush looks so beautiful on bronzed/tanned skin in the warmer sunny months!

ITA, but it's a really universal blush shade, I use mine in the winter on my extremely pale skin and it looks fantastic, really natural. I'm a little darker now though (been on vacation, haha) and it's still very flattering.
I think everyone must own this shade. Style is also really purrrty on tan & pale skin.

I went to Arundel Mills- Hanover,MD I'm too lazy to post everything I bought on the CCO thread. I'm not feeling well, but I got my "ass" up to get some cheap MAC. LOL
Oh I'm sorry, I went last Friday and yesterday. They didn't have Dollymix yesterday, but they had Breezy, Brit Wit, and some others. Last Friday I also bought Ambering Rose and some other colors. I'm sorry, I can't remember, but definitely take a trip there.

Re: Favorite Blush Combinations?
I like Im amused rouge by BE and Other Worldly MAC blush as a pretty combo. Adding more Other Worldy is good for a special occasion or night out glow.
