Benefit Blush......which one?

So I want a new blush for summer, swatched three of Benefits very popular blushes in store the other day. From left to right - Dandelion, Coralista and   Bella Bamba.   I am feeling the Coralista - I think that one looks best against my skin tone, any recommendations would would be great! Thanks guys. :-) Sorry the picture isn't better.

i have 3 of them :

 

dandelion - i use it as brightening face powder because it's hard to make it shown as blush on my skin (nc 25 in mac), but i am not bought it to make it work as blush, it's a pretty brightening face powder, never been too much on me

 

coralista - is my favorite among all benefit blush (i have dallas, sugarbomb, bella bamba, hoola, hervana, coralista and dandelion), it's so pretty!

 

bella bamba - tap the brush before swipe it on your cheeks, it has too much glitter on me. It's a pretty shade but way too pigmented imo.

 

hope that helps :smileywink:

Hi Elizabeth1972, The Coralista is a fantastic springy/summery color, and orange is the Pantone Color of the Year!  As the others mentioned, the color compliment tans perfectly!  It also depends when you are using the blush.  Some ladies like to have a brighter blush for when they go out as opposed to what they wear in the office.  Also take into consideration how different the blush will look against a full face of makeup.  All in all, you can't go wrong with any of the Benefit Blushes, but I think the Coralista would look great on you :smileyhappy:

Hey Elizabeth!

I have Benefit's Coralista myself and it's the only one I love! The color is gorgeous and perfect for the summer. Gives you that pretty sun-kissed look without going over the edge!

Hi elizabeth 1972 - I love the Dandelion Blush, so that would normally be my recommendation. But seeing the 3 colors on you the Dandelion seems a little pale and almost just a speck blue-ish, but colors sometimes look very different on your face than your hand or top side of your arm. The pic looks like it's the top of your arm, if it is then you might want to go back and try putting them on the inside of your arm and holding it up against your face - sometimes using the inside of your arm gives a truer read. You might also want to go outside with a mirror and do the same test, since the lights in a store can make things look pretty different and it's also nice to know what the color looks like outside.

 

The Coralista is another favorite of mine and I really do like that on you in this picture. I've never seen the Bella Bamba in person but I do think I might like that a lot too if it was blended into your skin. You're best bet is usually trying to replicate the color you skin turns when you blush, that's always a healthy, beautiful look.

 

 You might also want to factor in whether or not you have very smooth skin without many imperfections, then you can go with something more shimmery, if you have more imperfections and larger pores sometimes it's best to steer clear of very shimmery blushes, they can make imperfections more obvious. (I think one of the other girls mentioned that one of the colors has a shimmer to it, that's why I mentioned it) 

 

So based on all of this I think the winner is Coralista, you might just want to factor in the info above. I also have been known to mix colors together. Then you can fine tune the shade, you can lighten or darken it or control any shimmer according to the season or what clothing and other makeup you're wearing. Hope this helped you out. I hope you'll come back and let us know which color you decided on. Thanks. :smileyhappy:

Hi!

I have all of the benefit blushes and they are each uniquely beautiful. The dandelion is the very first one I got and it looks really great on my pale skin, plus it's super easy to apply ( you don't have to blend a lot) Coralista is nice but you might want to check out sugar bomb too - it has that coral shade along with others that blend really nice together and I find the shimmer in Coralista can look a little fake.

I noticed you didn't mention Hervana...it is with out a doubt my fav so maybe give that one a try too.

 

Hope this helps!

Go with Coralista. Coral is an amzing color to complement a tan (real or fake!). I love using coral nail polish too!

I love the middle one too. It give it a pop. Maybe the first one for work so it's not overwhelming, but I like a peachy hue personally for my blushes vs a bright pink or baby pink.
