Mary Kay Chromafusion Blush Rosy Nude 120412 (.17 oz.)

Product Information

This popular powder blush is a pretty, pale pink shade that looks really natural on fair and light skin, but the formula is dry and powdery which makes it look a bit cakey on the cheeks. What to Look for in a Pink Blush Formula If you keep up with popular beauty products, then chances are I don’t need to introduce this best-selling, viral blush from Dior. The brand markets it as a customizable blush that reacts to the skin’s moisture level to create a flattering rosy flush. While I can’t confirm or deny that technology, I can say that it’s a beautiful baby pink blush. Though incredibly fair in the pan, it does have nice color payoff—it works to create a romantic rosy color on my skin, and I do have friends with medium skin tones that adore this color, too. Given the nature of the color, the powder formula, and the level of pigmentation, I can’t see it doing much for people with deep and dark skin tones, which is unfortunate. I would love to see the brand come out with an intensified version to suit more complexions. But if your skin is anywhere from fair to medium, I think you’ll really love the color. For a healthy, radiant glow no matter what time of the year it is, the best cream blushes are your best bet. Unlike most powders, these buttery formulas impart an unmistakable, radiant sheen to your skin that mimics the effects of, say, an hour-long jog on the beach or a luxurious facial. Because these particular blushes generally contain oils, they're comparatively more moisturizing than powder blushes (take note, dry skin types) and won't disturb dry spots or highlight textured areas of the skin.

I also love that contrary to a lot of super pigmented products that are really opaque, this one maintains rich pigmentation while somehow being a bit translucent. This allows your skin to show through a bit which makes the finish look really authentic and glowy. If you struggle to find dewy cream blushes that actually last on you, this one is absolutely worth giving a go. In any case, you have here plenty of beautiful MAC blushes perfect for medium skin, brown skin and dark skin.Charlotte’s Pillow Talk Lip & Cheek Glow is a flexible, cream lip and cheek tint for a dewy-looking flush. Colour of Passion, a radiant berry-pink, is a perfect blush shade for deep skin, calling on the beautifying powers of Pillow Talk to give the lips and cheeks the dreamiest berry hue. The rich, warm tones give deeper complexions a romantic glow, with the pigment sheering out to form a soft, flattering kiss of colour. Hopefully, you’ll have found here all the possible options if you were looking for the best MAC blush for dark skin and medium skin! Makeup artist Carissa Ferreri previously told Allure that she recommends using a cream blush (or gel) formula in rosy tones. "Focus the blush a bit higher on the cheeks, like right under the eyes, and then diffuse any harsh lines," she explained. Makeup artist Joseph Carrillo also suggests "smiling and applying the color in the center of the apples" before gently fading the edges.

I adore this creamy blush formula—it’s seriously one of my favorites. But I found this shade to lean pretty orange on me, so I’d love to see the brand release a truly pink color. MAC Powder Blush in Fleur Power Peach Pop is the perfect shade of Charlotte’s Pillow Talk Matte Beauty Blush Wands for medium skin! The peachy shade of her easy liquid blush has a gorgeous blend of nude and pink tones, delivering a natural, matte finish for perfect, peachy cheeks! The Pillow Talk-inspired shade looks flattering and flawless on medium skin, giving the face and cheeks a warm flush of blush that lifts the look of a mid-toned complexion. For a while, I found powder blushes to be boring—a flat, matte wash of color on the cheeks wasn’t adding any excitement to my makeup routine. But then I discovered this blush formula last year and I fell madly in love with it, and ultimately rediscovered my appreciation for a good powder blush. It features the best parts of a powder and a cream—it’s easy to apply just like a powder, and it provides a glow to the skin just like a cream. In the pan, the baked formula appears incredibly shimmery, but once you apply it on the skin, it looks radiant and incredibly flattering. It’s quite pigmented, making it versatile among a wide range of skin tones, and I love that this particular rosy shade has a nice balance of warm and cool undertones which makes it pair well with any makeup look. Pillow Talk Lip & Cheek Glow in Colour of Passion is a multi-purpose cream blush and lip tint that looks gorgeous on tan skin. The flexible cream colour is a passionate pink with warm, summery tones that give the cheeks a love-blushed look. The Pillow Talk-inspired shade has a glowing, dewy-looking finish and gives a chiffon-sheer kiss of colour that dreamily complements a tan complexion. Ecstasy, a pretty peach, and Sex on Fire, a mood-setting pink, are Charlotte’s best Cheek to Chic powder blush shades for medium skin. If you prefer a warm-toned blush look, use Ecstasy to flush the cheeks with the perfect shade of peach, giving medium skin a glowing, sun-kissed look. Or, if you prefer a cool-toned blush on your medium skin tone, use Sex on Fire to give the cheeks a sultry wash of colour in a flattering tawny-rose hue.As for the shade, I love that it's a cool-toned hot pink with just enough warmth in it to be really flattering on tons of different complexions. It's a fun pop of color that's surprisingly wearable for everyday looks. It's also quite pigmented, making it a great choice for people with a wide range of skin tones and depths, but if you have fair skin, be cautioned that just one tap of your brush into the pan will yield some seriously flushed cheeks. If you've been looking for a bold pink powder blush, I don't believe there's a better option on the market than this one.

The vibrant color of this blush is was initially drew me in, but the performance is what's completely blown me away. If you like matte powder blushes but you find that they can lean dry or chalky on the skin, I urge you to give this one a try. It's a talc-free formula that contains fermented arnica to reduce redness, as well as a blend of hydrating ingredients—like red raspberry extract, squalane and shea butter—to nourish the skin and create a creamy powder consistency. Although it's a true powder formula which is excellent for those with oily skin, the creaminess in the texture makes it really blendable and flattering on dry skin, too. It provides a natural finish, blends almost effortlessly, and is extremely long-wearing. I saw absolutely no color fading after wearing it for more than eight hours. For deeper skin tones, Charlotte recommends pigmented blush colours such as punchy reds, berries and hot pinks, and rich, rosy browns. Some lighter shades might not be as apparent on a deeper complexion, so choosing an impactful shade of blush is the best way to give deep skin a beautiful, blushing look. I’ve loved these duos since their initial release, so I was thrilled when the brand came out with this bright bubblegum colorway. This shade is fun and ideal for blush-forward makeup looks, and I love the versatility that the duo provides. You can use the powder or the cream alone, or layer them together to get a natural finish that wears well all day long. Often powders and creams don’t layer well together, but these absolutely do, which makes using the product easy. I appreciate that the cream formula isn’t overly emollient or too dry, which helps to create a naturally luminous finish on the skin. While I do find the powder to be a bit chalky, which hinders the blendability a bit, somehow it still looks really nice when blended onto the skin and especially when layered with the cream side.Tan skin naturally has a lot of warmth, so blush colours with nude and peach tones meld beautifully with a tanned complexion. Building up a blush look that looks summery and sun-kissed adds dreamy dimension to a tanned skin tone, flushing olive and tanned complexions with the perfect pop of colour.
