ELF makes the best blush for the price. Mellow Mauve is my favorite color. It is exactly as described. A toned down mauve color with no shimmer or glitter. Great color payoff.
Retail cost $3.00
This wonderful rose gold blush gives just the right amount of color to the checks. It does have a slight shimmer but its not glittery. I like it because I can build it up if I want a more intense look. I also find I don’t need to wear a highlight when wearing this blush.
Retail cost $29.00
The finish of Makeup Geek blush is awesome. Spell Bound is
a peachy pink (or salmon) color with matte finish. Having a fair skin tone, this works well and deposits a wonderful pigment of color across my cheeks.
Retail cost $10.00 Pan / $15.00 Compact
A sheer-tone coral blush that is long wearing. I find with this color on my fair skin tone, I can skip bronzer if I choose and just use this. This would also work really well on deeper skin tones.
Retail cost $17.00 Pan / $23.00 Compact
This has been a staple in my collection forever. Recently they have reformulated them but I have not tried the new formula. I have heard wonderful things though so I am going to have to pick it up. This is a sheer tone blush with a pinky peach color. Many people gravitate to Apri-Cot In The Middle but I prefer Rose Champagne.
Retail cost $2.99
If you have a similar skin tone to mine and prefer similar colors, you will love all 5 of these blushes.
I use the Benefit Rockateur I do like this, but like you say you can really build this one up. I would really like to try them all, but I really like the sound of the Mac Sincere. Great post though, was really interesting.
Thank you. I definitely recommend trying them all out.
