I go through phases with makeup, sometimes I'm obsessed with lipsticks, sometimes eyeshadows, and sometimes blushes. Lately I've been loving pink blushes.
Nars "Desire"
A very bright and pigmented blush. This looks scary in the pan, but if used lightly it gives a healthy pink glow to the face. HERE is the full review.
Illamasqua "Hussy"
This is a warm toned pink, perfect with a (fake) tan. When I wear this it looks like I've just been out for a jog (ha!) with that lit from within pink glow. Full review HERE.
Tarte "Dollface"
This has been featuring on my blog a lot lately, not suprising, as this is a perfect cool toned pale pink which looks great in winter. I think in summer this might be too pale for me, but in the meantime I'll get as much wear out of this now as I can. Full review HERE.
LA Colors Mineral Blush "Just Peachy"
This is a cheapie US drugstore brand that I'd picked up from a discount cosmetics store near my work for around $4.95. Even though the colour says Peachy, to me it's more pink than peach. It has slight shimmer, and it's great for a pink summer cheek.
W7 Blush "Baby Pink"
Another drugstore cheapie. I bought this one from that same discount cosmetics store as the LA Colors one (Cosmo Cosmetics in Parramatta for those playing at home). Similar to Tarte "Dollface" this is a winter pink for me. It has a slight shimmer, and makes my cheeks look doll like.
And now to the swatches in various lighting conditions.

ReplyDeleteI've seen a lot from NARS lately, so I feel I definitely must get some NARS!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you mean pinkies in blushes, Pixie Pink from Sleek is a good one, or Santorini, also from Sleek, they're good in pigment and they work so good to most of looks!
