Blush for an Asian NC40

[tropical_smiles]

Hi everyone,

So i've been roaming the malls and MAC stores and I can't come to a clue of what type of blush I should use. I'm asian, NC40. I was already considering on buying Honour for that nice shimmery overall look but I was looking for a nice blush. I dont want anything too dark where it's so obvious that i'm wearing it. Any recommendation? I was thinking of dollymix but wanted to see what you guys would recommend first since you're the users.

Thank you so much Mzreyes! I've actually gone through your tutorials/pictures..and I am baffled as to how well you do your make up!! Natural talent!!!! and definately great inspiration! especially since you have the same skin tone as me, I am definately going to be trying alot of colors out now!

hehe thanks love

you'd be surprised at all the colors you could pull off. I honestly think it's all based on your personal opinion. If you like it, then it's hott

I love all colors. I don't discriminate. teehee!! I haven't found a blush color that I don't like. I guess it depends on how heavy or light you put it on. Dollymix looks scary in the pan, but when applied with a 187 brush (slowly building up coverage) it looks great!

for what its worth, my favorite blushes include:
margin

trace gold
goddess (LE)
blushbaby
pearl sunshine beauty powder (LE)
NARS orgasm
style

I've got a couple more, but these are the ones I reach for more often

Thank you Girls so much. I'm definately going to hit the mall this weekend and test out these products...normally i'm not a big blush person hence why i want to slowly transition into them ...thanks for the recommendations!

Woohoo so i went down to the MAC store in the Bay and end up purchasing Honour and Pinch o Peach. It was funny..i saw Dollymix and i was like OH NO...ha ha i thought it was a lighter color but yah the guy who helped me out was awesome..he put them on and I loved how I could build up the color on Pinch o Peach. Thanks everyone for the recommendations!
