FAN MAIL FRIDAYS: 5 Blushes For Non-Blush Wearers

Anybody here who's doing school already? How was it? Hope everything's doing well for you so far. :) Btw, I will post a pretty helpful article/quiz that you can use to determine the beauty products that you should be buying for the incoming school year. Watch out for that! :)

Anyway, I'm gonna talk about blush today and the question is from Alen:

Hi,  

Blush is not part of my everyday makeup routine and I usually wear loud/bold/dark red lips. Lately, I’ve been obsessed with contouring because I find that it doesn’t clash with my bold lips. However, I find that not using blush feels like my look is somewhat incomplete. I tried using a rosy blush with light hands, but I feel the result is too much. Can you recommend a neutral blush that can somewhat give a natural flush without it being too loud since I use bold colors a lot. I find that cool colors complement me more than warm does. Any help will be appreciated. 

Thanks!  

Alen

Aloha Alen!

Thanks for the question. I feel you when you said that you feel incomplete when you're not wearing blush. Blush is such a wonderful makeup product and it's a difference maker for your look. Also, like you, I'm into vampy lip colors!

You can actually sport blush and lip color at the same time without looking like a clown-just choose to play up one makeup and tone down the other one.

As for your request, here's a list of my favorite natural- looking blushes. Click READ MORE. ;)

1. Benefit Rockateur

- This favorite blush of mine from Benefit is a brilliant mix of highlighter and blush in a Rose Gold hue and satiny texture. When it's on the cheeks, it looks like the glow you get after watching your favorite band or singer!

My top 4 after the jump!

 2. Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour

- This blush is true to its name: it delivers melting color that does not sit on top of the cheeks. If you're into matte finish, but you prefer a natural- looking one, you'll find what you're looking for in this line. ;)

 3. Chanel Joues Contraste

-  Chanel's silky, soft, precious powder blush is the undisputed, most natural- looking blush ever made on earth. It's a blush-but-not-a-blush kind of product because it amplifies your natural flush, but manages to look VERY natural even if you layer it on.

 5. Max Factor Creme Puff Blush

- I consider this lovely collection of baked blushes as my drugstore dupe for Chanel Joues Contraste. Don't wanna spoil the review so that's all for now heehee. :D

5. Canmake Glow Fleur Cheeks

- For budget beauties, Canmake's Glow Fleur Cheeks will give you that barely there coverage. It actually makes you look blooming! :)

Happy Friday y'all! :D
