Blush

[cassandra-ellen]

hi guys,
im going to be going to get a blush from mac next week, but im not too sure what i should get.
i dont know if i should get a mineralized, creme or power. And im not too sure what colour!
Im a NC30, with brown eyes and Dark hair, there should be a photo next to this post. I went to a mac counter yesturday and the MA said a darkerish colour, but im not too sure.
I did see prism in a video and thought it turned out really nice. I dont like looking orange or too bronzed, because it doesnt look awfully natrual on me.
Any help would be good, or even just suggestions of your favourite blush!

I'm more like an NC15 (or somewhere around there, I'm fair) with hazel eyes and dark hair. Even though I'm fair, my features are dark so I can get away with more color. My fave MAC blush is Pink Swoon. I wear it with anything, from cool, obviously "go with" kind of colors to taupes and bronzes. If I had to pick one, Pink Swoon would be it! Blushbaby is nice too, a neutral pinky brown. I don't know how it'd look on an NC30, but it'd be worth checking out.

Thanks alot, they sound like really nice colours!

Oh yeah, i was also wondering if you can depot the mineralized eyeshadows to go into the palette? not too sure, looks like it doams up too much to fit.

Depotting mineralized stuff is very risky. They tend to crack and break.

Margin or pink swoon would be nice.

They won't fit and you will probably crack the product. Why don't you have a Live Chat for ideas on blushes that would compliment your skin tone?

Blushbaby would be my suggestion & peaches if you want more of a peachy look than a rosy look. BTW, Prism is my everyday blush

It's soooo pretty!!

Get Sunbasque!
It's such a flattering colour, i use it on the regular.

In Mineral blushes, I have Warm soul, Gentle and Nuance and love them all!

I'm a NC35 and Cubic is my everyday blush. I like Nuance from the mineral line too

Peaches is gorgeous, as is Springsheen for that warmer look! I also have Cubic, which is similar to Prism and that's great for everyday. I'm NC15 and I can wear them.

Like others I'd also recommend Pink Swoon as a great pink. Looks nice on all skintones and is vert soft and subtle too.

Hope you manage to find your dream blush!

I also use Sunbasque regularly. I love it.

Springsheen is my go-to blush, I'm around NC27.

Also, lots of MAC blushes look totally scary in the pan, but don't be afraid to try them! The usually go on much lighter/sheerer compared to the pan!

 

[cassandra-ellen]

Thanks everyone for your help! really appreciate it!

I love blush cremes, especially Sweet William as it gives a lovely flushed glowy look. Plum Foolery is great for autumn and would really suit your skintone too.

 

[cassandra-ellen]

Thanks alot, i have seen sweet william on the mac website, and think its a really cute colour!

I'm NC20 and I love Strada for a basic blush. I'm not sure how it'll look on NC30, though. It looks kinda yucky in the pot but it's really pretty on.
