I think i want to only try nars or mac... so any recs? please help a sista out!

I definitely recommend Emote blush from the Smoke Signals collections. It's a mat taupey brown, perfect for contouring. If you want a warmer colour, try Mac Golden bronzer.

another vote for bronzer by mac in Golden or refined golden I think it's called.

What's your Mac foundation shade??

*~*Another rec for the Refined Golden Bronzing Powder...For the blushes, I would try...*~*

Sunbasque: Gilded Peach w/ Pearl (Sheertone Shimmer)

Sweet as Cocoa: Chocolate Brown w/ Gold Pearl (Sheertone Shimmer)

Coppertone: Peach Brown (Matte)

Honour: Muted Golden Beige w/ Gold Shimmer (Frost)

Margin: Muted Peach w/ Golden Shimmer (Frost)

i recommend a matte blush if you want a completely nude look (i use tantone but i think it's dc'd). i also have sunbasque which is pretty good but i use it more for a blush than for a contour

Try Strada!

*~*I'm a college student too (I really wish MAC would give students a discount!! lol)....If it helps any, I *love* Sunbasque blush (I'm NC 45-50) and it gives my cheeks a little depth w/ a subtle shimmer...HTH!!

Nars Serato.

 

[Kuuipo]

Nars Zen or Sertao if you are medium skinned,Nico if you are a light skinned person,its a nude blush. Edie or Nepal or Cairo or Blondie Nars shadow and Honolulu Honey lipstick a fabulous nude that doesn't look like concealor!

 

[belldandy13]

nars is expensive but i agree sertao is nice..

I have sunbasque as well and i absolutely love it. i use it as both a blush and sometimes for contour!

 

[ilorietta]

i recommend Buff, it's matte , the description is peachy pink but it's a very natural colour (like natural flush..)

 

[Kiseki]

Buff or Emote.

Hey, i saw alot of your FOTD's where u used sunbasque, and I really like it on you. I'm asian too.

 

[belldandy13]

thanks! it's a really good choice. i initially bought it to use on my wedding day~

good luck! maybe get sunbasque for now and then when you have more money saved up upgrade and get a nars blush! you can never have too much makeup

 

[makeupgal]

You definately want a matte blush for this look. Try Emote from Smoke Signals or I even use Soft Brown eyeshadow for this look. I believe that is what they used on Pamela Anderson on the Viva Glam postcard.

 

[Temptasia]

Nars Laguna bronzer

You can use it as a blush for that barely there, but polished skin.

 

[xphoxbex]

i bought emote yesterday! but.. i think i'm putting it on wrong, it looks too brown, and it make me look like i have a dirty face lol.
