I love Raizin blush for a russet matte touch.

I also really love Dolly Mix and Sweet as Cocoa.

From non-MAC brands I love Taj Mahal blush from NARS.

You know, Sweet As Cocoa IS really light to be used as a blush on NW45 skin, but I found that it works great as a high lighter.

Re: Spin -off thread For NW 45 and up

Do any of you NW45 ladies use Blunt blush? If so, do you use it as a contour color? I purchased it but it is so close to my skin tone I am not sure if I am really accomplishing anything when I put it on.

My current blush collection is small:
Sweet as Cocoa
Raizin
Blunt

I have Blunt and it is really close to my skin colour too in the summer time but in the cooler months when I'm lighter it is a perfect subtle contour. I use it with the 109 in the hallows of my cheeks. I don't really use it for contouring that often though. I think it's a fantastic matte crease colour for the eyes!

I use Blunt as my contour color and I think it works well *shrugs* I don't want a really dramatic contour so I find that a shade that is not too far from my skin tone is a good choice.

Re: Spin -off thread For NW 45 and up

I love Raizin as a blush, as well as Merrily, Love Thing and Milani's Mai Tai. When I use a highlighter, I like Petticoat ( I lost mine, but now that they're re-issued I can get it again) or one of my NARS multiples. I wanna buy Ambering Rose and Taj Mahal when I het a chance. I like my Multiples as blush, too.

Re: Spin -off thread For NW 45 and up

Merrily (LOVES IT!!!)
Fabulush CCB
Crushed Bougainvillea (can't pronounce it, but I love it...lol)
Virgin Isle CCB
Format

Non-Mac:
Stila Heat (My first blush)
Bobbi Brown Brownie Shimmer Brick (My all time fav highlighter)

I don't have any Nars blushers yet (yes, shame on me), But on my list is Taj Mahal and Crazed.

Which brush do you use to apply X-Rocks? It always comes out way too shimmery on me, even when I use a light hand, I look clownish!

Re: Spin -off thread For NW 45 and up

I love this thread. I got razin first because that's what was always suggested for WOC. I now love Dolly Mix especially in the summer, it gives that fresh face look. Ambering Rose is my new thrill. One gone-by limited edition that is hot is Metal Rock MSF.

I've been trying to settle on a cremeblush so I'm excited to see what everyone comes up with.

If you go the Shape & Sculpt Collection thread, there is a really good diagram that I posted about contouring and highlighting.

And here is a link about contouring on my blog: paix all around: Sculpt and Shape
