Blush for fair/light recommendation

BeautyWonder — Tue, 12 Dec 2017 19:59:01 GMT

Hello,

I'm looking for a blush palette or your favorite single blush for fair/light skin tones. I would like to give this as a gift for my sister. Currently she uses Bobbi Brown bronzer in the lighter shade and Bare Minerals blush in aphrodisiac aka NARS famous blush dupe. I thought a palette would be nice as that would provide a variety of shades to pick from. I’m also opened to drugstore favorites as well. I thought the product below might be nice but not sure if the shades would be too dark.

I'm fair to light and I really enjoy the Hourglass blushes in Dim Infusion and Mood Exposure. You can even get a mini size of Mood Exposure: https://www.sephora.com/product/ambient-lighting-blush-collection-P384963?skuId=1959063&icid2=products%20grid:p384963 . The packaging doesn't feel as luxe as it looks, but it's a very pretty product. Hourglass does tend to not give you a decent discount when you get a mini size or a palette, but the blushes themselves are very pretty and at least with a mini you stand a chance of finishing it someday. 😉

One of my favorites (not available at Sephora, though) is Laura Gellar's Blush-n-Brighten in Tropic Hues. It has swirls of coral and pink and a very subtle shimmer. Highly recommended!

Sounds nice thank you!

Thank you for the suggestion, I’m not a fan of glittery blushes and I don’t think my sister is either.

@BeautyWonder The Hourglass Ambient Light blushes are GORGEOUS and not glittery or shimmery at all. They give a stain/luminous finish, incredibly flattering, and one of those blushes that are more impressive on your face than swatched on your hand. @suggrr is right that ihourglass blushes are a bit spendy, but they do last for a while and the minis are great. Mood Exposure and Diffused Heat are my absolute favorites, though I think Luminous Flush is popular for more fair complexions.

The Ambient Strobe Blushes are the ones with the "glitter" though it's more a shimmer/sparkle. I'm not a fan of this line as they're a bit too intense.

I’m very fair and my go to blushes are too Faced Love Flush and Benefit Dandelion. They’re both such a gorgeous shades without being too pink.

I agree with @MissPuff. Hourglass blushes are incredible! The ambient lighting blushes are not glittery at all. My favourite colour for my fair skin is Ethereal Glow. It’s the most perfect cool-toned light pink. @BeautyWonder

You should totally try the blush book from tarte ! It’s awesome and looks great on any complexion . Beware of the pigment because a little goes a long way 😎

You should check out the Sephora Winter Flush Blush palette, it's only $16 or $17! Beautiful colors and totally worth your money. If you're wanting a single blush I would recommend the Ciate Glow-To blush in summer love. Very beautiful 🙂

I came here to suggest Dandelion as well. It's my everyday blush, and has been for years now. Brightens up my blue eyes too!

I would suggest getting the new Tarte Holiday blush palette which is officially called “the limited-edition blush bazaar palette”. It has 8 beautiful blushes and 2 highlighters for $44. They are basically full size. I got it for my mom who is on the fair side and I believe they would look great on fair skin. A lot of pigment so be careful and use a light hand. If you buy from Sephora you’ll probably have to pay shipping but if you buy from tarte.com you get free shipping with any purchase of $25 and up. Plus free samples.

@MissPuff good to know that there are non glittery shades in their range. In the compact they look like they would be, lots of colors to pick from so I appreciate your fair skin recommendation!

@Anonymous This looks so beautiful, at first I thought why did she have to show me this now I want it lol the shades and packaging are pretty but I wish the price was a little cheaper.

@scullynuge I saw that, I just wasn’t sure about the shades. The price however I love!

Dandelion is my fave hands-down. I have very fair skin (as in I always need the absolute lightest foundation shade) and it's perfect for me. It comes in a travel and full size, both complete with a brush!
