How to make MAC Dollymix blush work?

[Dani California]

Hi all *waves*

I'm after your excellent recs again!!

I have Dollymix blush, have had it a while but hardly ever use it, as I feel I cannot get it to work on me. I find it does work best with my Pout blush brush though. I am really pale, blue red in prescriptives colour groups.

It seems almost like its too close to the undertones of my skin for some reason and I feel like its too cold looking on me iyswim ? I have tried it with various different highlighters on top, but nothing looks quite right with it!!

Anyone else had the same problem?

HELP!!

Most appreiciated!!

i love it. it is bright even on tan skin if u use a heavy layer.

i just smile and brush 2 layers onto my apples, then i blend the edges lightly with my fingertips so it softens and i love how it looks

i 4get her username but ive seen a girl here who is pale and she uses dollymix in alot of her fotds and it looks beautiful!

Definitely layer Dollymix with a Bronzer or Gold/Brown MSF (i.e. Warmed).

I agree. Dollymix looks very pretty as a pop of color on the apples when paired with bronzer. I love Dollymix, but it's not always the pink I'm looking for. It's more of a red pink, so a lot of times, I skip it in favor of a blue pink or "clean" pink. I reach for Pink Swoon or Sweetness BPB much more often than Dollymix.

Add some warmth to your cheeks & just add a hint of Dollymix to the apples of your cheeks.
I personally love pink swoon.

UPDATE:

I tried my dollymix as you guys suggested, over the top of bronzer with a little belightful powder, just dotted dollymix on the apples of my cheeks!! I was so impressed!! Wooohooo!! looks great

Thanks guys!!
