Hi, I used to always wear smokey eyes with pink blush or bronzer & really light nude lips but now im starting to use pink lipsticks and I dont know which blush to wear!
I want something that shows up so you can see that I am wearing blush,l but not too vibrant either since my lipsticks are really pink and i also have some pink/purple ones. I was thinking about buying MAC peaches blush, what do you think & what blush would you recommend?
Thanks

I have Peaches and it is pretty but I love Sunbasque so much more! It's a terracotta peach with shimmer. Peaches is a sheertone blush so it looks matte on my skin and doesn't brighten my face up and make my cheeks pop like Sunbasque does. I would say get Peaches if you'd prefer no shimmer or Sunbasque if you do. They both look perfect with smokey eyes,bronzer,and pink lips.

what about pinch o peach?

it's a pretty subtle peachy pink and it does show out. It goes pretty well with smokey eyes

i use shy beauty beauty powder blush which was LE but you can get it here:
MAC

i think you could also try contouring your cheeks with sculpt and shape duo powders and highlight

I think that pinch o peach would be a little too pink, I want something more peachy because I already have many pink blushes

I always use eversun blush! It is great with natural and smokey looks. It was LE though... =(

i suggest trying Gingerly, or Coppertone. those two are really nice for the look you mentioned.

i always use spaced out blush if i am doing a smokey eye / bright lip combo. it's peachy but also have a pinky sheen to it when the light catches it. i can't reccomend it enough! it was limited eidtion with the neo sci fi collection - however check out cco's or the sale threads for one.

i like an msf best with the look you're describing because it adds a little healthy shimmer to the cheeks. otherwise, i don't think you can EVER go wrong with a light bronzer if you're going with smoky eyes.
