Blush

Anybody know any great blushes for medium to dark skin tones? I am looking for a natural finish but not too dark or shiny.

Re: Blush

Glossier Cloud Paint works well on me. I wear the shade Haze a lot. 

 

NARS blushes are also really nice. Of the shades with no shimmer, I use Exhibit A (a bold red that’s VERY easy to overdo), 413 Blkr (a nice rose pink), and Liberte (kind of a peachy apricot). 

 

The blush I wear most often is NARS Outlaw. It has a gold shimmer that’s not in-your-face bold. If you can’t get Orgasm to show up on your skin (that shade doesn’t work on me at all), try Outlaw instead. I also really like Taos as a soft brick red with gold shimmer. 

 

I used to never wear blush, but lately I’ve worn Outlaw every other day. I even wear it when I don’t wear any other makeup except brow pencil and lipstick. If NARS ever discontinues Outlaw, I’ll be crushed.

Thank you! I actually got outlaw and it is the perfect blush shade for my skin tone!

@WinglessOne Oh I love the Glossier Cloud Paints! Haze and Beam have been my summer go-tos and are so quick and easy to put on.

Thank you so much!

Re: Blush

@SIMZIESSS I love and adore Nars blushes and they have an incredible color range, you should be able to find something that suites your taste. Also, you might want to check out the thread below, lots of swatches on darker skintones, hopefully, you'll find something helpful!

Re: Blush

Hey so I struggled to find a natural blush for myself that wasn't too dark or shiny as well (I have medium brown skin). I found it useful to get a highlighting blush combo because the highlight and blush together balanced each other out so that it did not look too shiny or dark. Here are some suggestions that I have:

 

Hourglass - Ambient Lighting Blush

Benefit - Dandelion Twinkle Highlighter

Antonym - Organic Certified Highlighting Blush

Too Faced - Sweet Peach Glow Highlighting Palatte

 

I hope this helped 🙂
