You're Making Me Blush!

I wasn't always a blush girl but I've slowly turned into one! My collection isn't huge, but I like to think that I have a nice range of colors that suit my skin tone.

I tend to stay away from blushes that have a lot of shimmer. I just don't find shimmer to be particularly flattering on the majority of people as it often emphasizes blemishes and flaws -- and who wants that?

Although it's hard to pick a favorite, I reach for Maybelline's True Peach and NARS Orgasm the most often. Lovely colors that give me that "healthy" glow in powder form!

  1. My favourite blushes for summer... are MAC melba, dainty, peaches, those sort of tones. I recently got some nyx cream blushes in my cherry culture haul (on blog) and the one, rose petal is really nice and holy pigmented, you gotta be careful.
