Calling all NW45's...I need blush recs please??!

[doniad101]

Howdy! I was wondering if you NW45's out there could name any and all shades from any brands that you really like or love on your skin tone. Also, do you think that orange blushes would look good on NW45's? I was thinking about getting CARGO's Laguna blush and or NARS Taj Mahal. Thanks for all of your help! I really appreciate it!

I'm a NW45 I don't wear blush often but when I do I like Youngblood loose mineral blush in Adobe and MAC Reed and Sweet as Cocoa(Stomp and Haux eyeshadows also work well as blush). I have Nars Taj Mahal but like I said I seldom wear blush so I haven't tried it but by all reports it looks beautiful on our skintone as is Crazed. Nars Lovejoy did not show up

NARS Lovejoy works on me, i'm NW45. i also use NARS Multiples as blush: Sumatra, Malibu, Mauritius and Cannes look best on my skin. NARS Cream Blushes: Cactus Flower, Constantinople, Lokuom(sp?) and Guelle de Nuit. I also have used but do not own NARS: Crazed, Taos, Outlaw, and Albatross Highlighting Powder. Also Cargo Rome is a beautiful shade of Orange, and also Cargo Big Easy blush. The Coral and Echobeach Beachblushes are beautiful on darker skin.

I have a few FOTDs up where I'm using it. It adds a really nice glow to the skin.

Try Ambering Rose. it's a rosey red with gold shimmer, it's very pretty on dark skin.

Try Coppertone

Golden Bronze iridescent powder and Aripeach Pearlizer. These aren't necessarily blushes but they add a gorgeous glow to my cheeks.

So true. Opulent looks gorgeous on darker skin tones (esp like NW50 & 55). I have used it lightly (and I mean lightly) on clients with the 187 brush all over the face. So pretty and radiant!

 

[sunsational]

MAC ambering rose, sweet as cocoa and raizin

NARS lovejoy (i have to layer this one on for it to show but its gorgeous. i also use it as a bronzer), exhibit A and crazed

 

[greatscott2000]

MAC Orange shadow is great as a blush. Texture is too.

 

[MAC_Pixie04]

aaaaaaaand i just discovered a new cream blush thati LOVE: Cassandre from nars, it's a deep red in the pan, but it imparts a really subtle flush when applied by dabbing with a foundation brush, a must have for darker skintones. and unlike MAC blushcremes, it dries to an almost powder finish and it doesn't smear all over the place or look greasy. I'm the Captain of the SS Oily and it didn't make me look shiny at all, it looked beautiful.
