I would be more then happy to give you some suggestions! Let me start off by saying that most of my blushes and MSF's are from collections that have been released in the past and therefore most of them are limited edition. Some MAC counters still have them or they can be found on ebay or Specktra members who are selling part of their collection.
I have tried every single blush and MSF that I own because i've found that every shade doesn't work for me. I try to stay away from "plum" colored blushes because they make me look like i've been punched in the face. I also stay away from "reddish" looking blushes because they make me look like I have a huge rash! I love the pinks but some tend to change once applied so i'm careful about the pinks that I buy.
For my skintone I LOVE coral and peachy toned blushes. I wear those almost everyday.
My favorite blushes are:
MAC: Peachy Keen & Plum Du Bois (this is the only plum that works for me)
Benefit: Coralista
NARS: Orgasm, Deepthroat, & Albatross (highlight)
Laura Geller: Berry
My favorite MSF's are:
MAC: Petticoat, So Ceylon, Warm Blend (contour), and Warmed (highlight)
I also own the following blushes (i'm just listing the ones I know off the top of my head):
MAC: X-Rocks, On a Mission, Notable, Ablaze, Stark Naked, Fashion Frenzy, Margin, Breezy, and Tippy.....just to name a few. This does not include the mineralize blushes that I own.
NARS: Torrid, Sin, Lovejoy, Crazed, etc.
I own the following MSF's: Blonde, Brunette, Redhead, Smooth Merge, Glissade, Nothern Lights, and a few more but I don't remember the names
.
Honestly, I mostly use my favorites and I rarely touch the other ones that I own. I really need to start using everything that I have but it's almost impossible. Hopefully this will help you choose some new blushes and MSF's. I suggest that you always try everything that you buy. When I first started buying makeup, I bought the most hyped products because everyone on YouTube and Specktra was buying it. I realized that a lot of the stuff I was buying didn't look good on me and I was wasting $$. Now when I buy something, I take it home and try it out (swatching it in the store isn't that helpful). If I don't like it, I take it back. Anyhow, if you have anymore questions, feel free to ask.
