Re: Favorite Blush Combinations?
Right now I'm loving MAC Dollymix or Nars Outlaw w/ Nars Casino as a contour and MAC Light Flush MSF as a highlight.
Casino bronzer is fab, I can only use it all over when I'm really really dark or with a really really light hand, but I'm sure it would work wonderful for some of you darker beauties. Its really soft and finely milled, like the blushes.

Re: Favorite Blush Combinations?
I love wearing Soft Flame beauty powder on top of deep pink and plummy blushes like Ablaze, Love Thing, and Stark Naked. Petticoat over anything pink is also divine.

Re: Favorite Blush Combinations?
I like wearing Dollymix with Stark Naked. It looks gorgeous together and I add So Ceylon and it looks even prettier.

Re: Favorite Blush Combinations?
I have so many, I'll mention only one for now...I love using Nars Albatross as a highlight at the top of my cheekbones, nose bridge and browbone and then applying So Ceylon MSF to the apples of my cheeks. I've been wearing this combo all week.

Re: Favorite Blush Combinations?
I'm pretty darned light NC 15 but my skin carries color rather well. Must be the Native American in me
I had a date the other night  and tried out my Devil blush for the first time, could have really blown the whole look but I applied it light handed and oh my! It was as intoxicating as my new squeeze.
Oh and I paired it with Emphasize, Bone Beige heavy on the highlight for this look. I should have taken pics... but was distracted.

Re: Favorite Blush Combinations?
At the moment I wear:
- Ambering Rose w/ So Ceylon MSF as a highlight
- Sweet as Cocoa w/ Warmed or So Ceylon MSF as a highlight
If I want a pop of colour, I just dab some Breezy on the apples of my cheeks. It's particularly good for very cold days as it gives me a nice flushed look - kinda like a Snow White effect for a dark-skinned gal.

YES! Mountain High is great. It's one of my first MAC blushes ever if not the first. Have they released anything comparable at all? I know it came out waaaay back in the day for the Diana Ross collection

No - I did a Live Chat for a similar product suggestion before I was able to hunt it down on ebay and they suggested Raizin. So I think it's pretty unique and yet so simple. It's hard to find a non-shimmery berry blush. Very hard.

Re: Favorite Blush Combinations?
i like the following combos:

Nuance mineralized blush with so ceylon on top or Prestige bronzer on top
these 2 are awesome on olive toned or tan skin...nc40 for reference.
