This Spring, pink is in. No matter what your skin tone, you desperately need a good pink blush. Pink will give you that nicely subtle flushed look without looking like a rag doll. The more screaming pink the color is in the container, the prettier it will look on your cheeks. And for those that can’t wrap your head around the idea of pink, there is also a great choice of Spring colors in a peach/pink tone.
1. Nars Powder Blush Cheek Color in Orgasm
Pricegrabber
Nars makes a lot of things right, and they definitely hit the nail on the head with their blush formulation as well. Their blushes are soft and sheer, come in a very wide selection of colors, and the shade names are really fun too. My favorite: Orgasm; a shimmery peachy pink color. Price: $25.
2. Tarte Cheek Stain in Tickled
Pricegrabber
A great alternative blush. This is a gel, water-based blush that comes in a push up style container. Since it is gel, it wears fairly sheer so you can use it alone of under a powder highlighter or blush. The blush comes in a fair variety of colors and Tickled Peach is a light pinkish peach, with a hint of red, color; great for any skin color. Price: $28.
3. Benefit Cosmetics Dandelion
Pricegrabber
Benefit makes overall great products and the blush is equally as great. Even though they have some new shades, an all time favorite is Dandelion. It’s light pink and shimmery finish highlights and will look great on anyone. Price: $28.
4. Cargo blu_ray Blush/Highlighter
Pricegrabber
A new line from cargo labeled blu_ray has a great high definition blush. The color is concentrated so a little goes a long way, and it has photochromatic pigments which give the skin a glowing yet softer look. The downside is that it only comes in one color, but that color is a great shimmery pink/peach shade. Price: $27.
5. Cover Girl Cheekers in Classic Pink
Pricegrabber
An all time favorite of most women in America. And even with so many different brands available today, Cover Girl is still a staple of my makeup arsenal. Their Classic Pink is a perfect shade for the season, since it gives that subtle flushed glow. Price: $4.
