Blush for NC 20 skin?

I'm working on converting my make-up bag to all MAC (other than my mascara). I have a couple brushes on my wishlist and now I'm trying to decide on a blush. I was thinking Tenderling (was recommended on another forum) but it's out of stock. What are some favorites around here?

Blushbaby would be a nice alternative to Tenderling. My everyday blushes (I'm NC15) are usually Buff (if I want a more matte look) and Fleurry, which I adore but I think was a LE. Otherwise I'd recommend Dollymix and Pink Swoon. Don't be scared of darker colours either, applied with a light hand they can look great!

I'm NC20 although I sometimes seem to suit NW20 more. However, I find Tenderling kind of brownish, even though it's nice and sheer.

Most blushes are too bold for me, but I love Peaceful. It's very, very soft. I think it's discontinued but you can still find it easily enough. They haven't sold out.

My favorite MAC blush is sunbasque applied with the 187 (NC15)

I know you said you're looking to convert to all MAC but it might be worth checking out NARS, I find their blushes are of higher quality and much more flattering and pigmented.

I love Peaches and Springsheen! However, Springsheen seems to have quite a bit of shimmer on me, so if you don't like a lot of shimmer, I would try it in person first.

i know you said MAC, but I have that skintone too and I LOVE Flirt's blush in "heartthrob" its a peachy pink with a little shimmer. I esp. love it in summer because it gives a pretty glowy color.
Sorry I cant really help with mac because I don't own any MAC blush, only their cheek shimmer stuff.
