    Recommendation for red blush

    I'm looking for a red blush, something that's not too bold so it won't take me half an hour to buff it in. I'm open to any brand. My skintone in MAC is NW30 for reference. Thanks in advance

    Orange and Red FOTD

    So I decided to distract myself from the wonderful -25 deg temperature we're having here in Ottawa by wearing some warm toned makeup.
