Help with Blush Shades

[Ebbychina]

Hey WOCs,

In an effort to downsize a soon to be MAC purchase, I would like your opinion as to which 6 blushes you would select from the following selection (I am feeling like a makeup glutton)

For reference, I am a NC43 (Studio fix powder) and a NC44 (Studio Tech)...Thanks Ladies!!!


1. Flirt & Tease
2. Dollymix
3. Ambering Rose
4. Fleur Power
5. Azalea
6. Sunbasque OR Peachtwist OR Margin
7. Coppertone
8. Gingerly
9.Style
10. Pinch Me
11. Sweet as Cocoa
12. Blunt

1. Style
2. Sweet as cocoa
3. Fleur power
4. Dolly mix
5. Pinch me
6. Flirt & tease

when you look at them both ...Margin will grab you because of it's glow in the pan.

Fun & Games: Soft orange peach
Sunbasque: Peach with pearl (SheertoneShimmer)
Margin: Peach with golden shimmer (Frost)

They really look different once applied on your cheeks...and of course the finish is def. different.

Don't have experience with all the colours, but I think the following are great:

• Dollymix
• Azalea
• Peachtwist
• Blunt

Style looks GORGEOUS!!! and it looks like it can also be used as a highlight colour. I'm picking that one up. Thanks again for the swatches!

np!! I know how it is wondering what looks good etc..you might want to swatch "springsheen" and "trace of gold"...heck even "honour" blush.

lol I love blush, but I think I will stop now..getting too happy.

Not familiar with Fleur Power or Style but based on everything else:



Flirt & Tease
Dollymix
Ambering Rose
Coppertone
Gingerly
Blunt ----I'm the same foundation color as you (nc44) and i can't use this as a blush. I use it for contour

Margin and Sunbasque are HGs. As well as eversun.

Hehe, I know right?! I am burning a hole in Peachykeen right now! I am wondering how I made it so long without blush?! lol

As a side note, I also ordered NARS Taj Mahal and Albatross yesterday, as it got rave reviews on another WOC thread...I am excited to try them!

 

[disconlemonade]

Gingerly (probably my most favorite Mac blush ever!)
Margin
Pinch Me
I love Peaches too

And you will love Taj Mahal! I'm NC44 as well and OMG it gives you the most beautiful glow....so amazing! Enjoy!

 

[DILLIGAF]

I can speak to the colors I have and love


Dollymix
Azalea
