Blush can really pull your whole look together and make you look more "alive". The other night, my family was over at my house and I was showing my Mom and Grandma the Paris Palette. While explaining the colors to my Grandma and giving her some ideas for how she could use the colors and make them work for her, I immediately whipped out the F40 brush in her palette and applied a bit of the Peche shade to her cheeks and showed her how to use the highlight shade, Lumiere, with it and her face lit up. It was amazing what a difference the blush made.
So while I've always L*O*V*E*D blush and been a bit obsessed with it (I have a shamefully large collection to prove it), that experience with my Grandma sparked the idea to do a "Favorite Blush" video. Funny enough, when I went to check out the shades I would include in the video, they were kind of all sitting on my vanity already. What they all had in common? All were shades perfectly suited for Spring and Summer.
Here are my favs mentioned in the video. Don't forget to check out my video for more info on the products as well as some demos on how to apply them.
NARS Orgasm
Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush: Exposed, Dollface, Blissful
MAC Powder Blush: Peony Petal, Love Cloud, Modern Mandarin
Smashbox Blush in Radiance
Paris Palette by Sigma Beauty: Peche, Lumiere
Benefit Boxed Powders: Hervana, Dandelion
What are YOUR favorite blush shades for Spring & Summer??

Hi Tiffany! I definitly agree. Blush always brightens up a face. My favorite is the clinique fresh bloom allover face color in peony. I've used it for years. I've never used a highlighter though. I'll have to give it a try. I love your tutorials! Do you think sometime you might do one on how to really lenghten lashes? I know you have some using falsies, but I don't want to do that. (My lashes are really short).
ReplyDeleteI also just wanted to let you know about a great giveaway from Shabby Apple that I'm hosting right now! Hope you enter!

This is a great post. It gave me a lot of ideas for blush colors I could purchase. The top of my list is the Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Blushing Bride. I'm always curious about which blush to use that will show pigment on my olive skin, but not look like I have applied so much that I look like I just ran a mile.
ReplyDeleteLovely summer blushes!!!
