I am a major nude blush junkie. It started with Tarte Exposed and then snowballed from there....my absolute top fave is Cargo Tonga. Any recommendations for nude/sculpting blushes for NW20 skin? I already have: Powder: NARS Douceur Tarte Exposed Cargo Tonga Cargo Prague MAC Bareness MAC At Dusk MAC Pink Cult MAC The Perfect Cheek MAC Tenderling MAC Prism MAC Cubic MAC Blushbaby Milani Romantic Rose Deborah Milano Rosa Pesca Cream: Illamasqua Zygomatic Butter London Naughty Biscuit Sonia Kashuk Blossom And believe it or not, I don't think any of those are dupes...what am I missing?

MAC Harmony would be a good one.
I had Harmony and then sold it, I think it was a little too dark and orange on me, I lean more toward the pink/beige nudes for cheeks. That is why I love this color family so much, though, there are so many beautiful different undertones.

All creams, but NARS Penny Lane (discontinued), Stila Lillium CC (very similar to Penny Lane though), & Chanel Inspiration (pinker).


MAC Modest from Holiday works as a nude on me, as well.

I forgot to list Penny Lane, I have that one, definitely need to wear it more often though. I'll check out the Chanel one for sure, thanks!!!!

I'd recommend the new TheBalm Desert. If you get it, I would like to know a comparison with Milani romantic rose :)
 
Benefit Dallas
MAC Buff
LORAC Soul
Urban Decay Video (soft nude)
Urban Decay Fetish (medium pink-nude)
NARS Zen (neutral beige - some say this is like a bronzer-blush hybrid)
NARS Madly (looks different on many skin tones)
Korres Natural
Tarina Tarantino Neapolitan Lane
BECCA Beach Tint in Fig (liquid/cream)
Avon Earthen Rose
Burberry Earth Blush No. 7
Clinique Nude Pop
Lancôme Blush Subtil Palette in New Nude (so buttery)
Estee Lauder Nude Nuance (I think this was limited edition though...)

All these blush finishes range from matte to satin to sheen. I believe reviews for many of these are on Temptalia.com--check 'em out for detailed descriptions and high quality swatch photos as well as comparisons (she does great side-by-side photos so you can see just how similar or different two products are)!

NARS Douceur is my all-time FAVORITE and I am absolutely gutted it's discontinued, which I only found out recently. I'm interested in trying MAC's Blushbaby, Cubic, and Prism, but from reviews and swatches they don't seem to be as Douceur-esque as I want them to be. How would you say those compare?

MAC Small Vanity would be a nice dusty rose color on NW20! On my NW43 skin she gives a nice neutral pink flush. MAC Swiss Cocoa would also be beautiful!
