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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
