What is your favorite blush?
I'm still looking for my holy grail blush. I have two right now - Tarte Amazonian Clay in Dollface and Benefit Bella Bamba, along with a bronzer with a bit of pink in it that I sometimes use as blush. I like them all, but none of them really wow me. I think it's because they are all powder blushes, and I like a dewy look and also have cheeks that are a bit dry. I'm thinking that I'd prefer a cheek tint or some type of cream blush.
Any recommendations? I'd like something that actually shows up and is pretty long lasting.
I'm fair skinned with pink undertones. One option I'm considering is Tarte's cheek stain in Flush. I like the look of Posietint, but don't really want another bubble gum pink color as I already have that with the Dollface blush. Benetint might be an option. The Bella Bamba that I have is a watermelon shade, so I want to stay away from similar shades of that as well.
Re: What is your favorite blush?
Same here. Been using it for years.
I do hear a lot about Tarte so I plan on buying that this weekend in an order with Sephora.
Stila self adjusting blush in the shade Blush. It looks scary but it's not. A tiny bit goes a long way.
I want to try NARS deep throat but I read somewhere that MAC springsheen was a dupe and I already have that color.

Tarte Exposed.
I was on the hunt for blush so I recently bought Tarte in Exposed and Glisten. I also bought Nars Orgasm. All three are great, but Exposed is definitely my favorite.

Tarte Exposed
Its the only thing I will use.
My favorite blush is MAC mocha. But that is a powder blush.
I have Stila Convertible Color in peony. I really like it.
Bobbi Brown powder pink, I too am fair with pink undertones and this looks very natural on me. I can't find a good picture of it so I'm linking a video from pinterest of Lisa Eldridge wearing it, just fast forward to 9:20 of the video.

Here is a set on sale for $15 where you can try 3 different colors in a mini size:

The Vivid one is a pink color.
I absolutely love Benefit Benetint. It gives the perfect rosy flush. I'm also a fan of Stila's Convertible Color in Peony.
I have NARS Orgasm, but I think it's highly overrated.
Listen, you should try this stuff:

I bought this about a week ago and I have worn it every day. I love it. Excellent pigmentation and staying power. It's cheap and at this price you really can't go wrong.
The color I got is called Rosy Outlook (do NOT trust the colors on this website- go to the drugstore and look at them in person). Don't get a dark color- err on the lighter side because of the pigmentation. And I am much darker skinned than you.
Wooo Whooo - a drugstore recommendation! lol. I'm so cheap. I just much prefer trying drugstore products first before I spend $30 on something expensive. I'll give this a try before I splurge on something more expensive. Thanks!
Nars Oasis is one of my favorite blushes. People usually only recommend it for darker skinned women, but I think it's perfect for me (NW25?). Nars describes it as "pink champagne", but I think of it more as part of the plum family.
Nars Orgasm is obviously highly recommended and for good reason. It would give you a peachy pink option.
My HG for a non-powder blush is NARS Multiple in Malibu. I've repurchased this product a couple of times and can't live without it in the summer months.
