    I don't really have a particular brand or anything, but I have lately been using the twist up blush sticks. Have you seen them? Sometimes after a long night I'll toss my shoes in my bag or my locker without thinking and I can't even tell you how many compacts of blush I've broken and ruined by doing that. The sticks don't take up much room, I use one that I got in a huge off brand makeup kit and it stays on all night!

    Nars makes the absolute best blush on the planet. We have similar coloring and I really love Outlaw. I just bought Lovejoy too. Some people will probabaly rec Orgasm, which is their most popular, but I can already tell you it'll be too light for you.

    Oh yeah, if you want lots of options w/o taking up tons of space, you could always do MAC blush pans and have 6 of them in a palette.

    Yeah I'm not loving Lovejoy so much. I think I need to be really dark when I use it. Try Outlaw or Torrid, which is a bit lighter than Outlaw. I really wish they would release some new colors! It's time!

    Another thing, I don't know when you are next in BC, but make sure you go to the MUFE counter. They have great blushes and you can make palettes of 3, 4, 6, and 12! Love them!

    Sin would be beautiful with your coloring. You should also check out Mata Hari, Desire and Torrid, for a few different options. Sin is the most versatile for your skin tone though IMO.

    I kinda see you in a sort of bronzer/blush type of thing? How about those 'stain' type of things. I think the brand Tart has one.

    I love bare minerals makeup and they have a nice selection of blush and all over face colors. Plus since you only need a tiny bit for each use & it's a loose powder they can be put into smaller containers which will help with your space issue. Another thing I like is that you can blend different shades before or after you apply to create a custom color each time if you wanted.

    Do you have a Sephora store near you? If so maybe you could go check out their stuff in person and find your perfect colors.

    ^ while i love bareminerals foundation, i don't like much else of what they have to offer, including warmth.

    in my siggy i'm using clinique loose powder in transparency bronze ( i think that's the name!! ) but i don't like that for everyday use... only work & photos.

    i actually, in a pinch, bought covergirl cheekers blush in brick rose. wow, lol i was so suprised for $4... it actually looked good. staying power sucked ass though.

    thanks for the recs so far!! any more?

    I've always wondered....why is Nars the best for blush? I want to try some, but I'm clueless about it. I've got NC20 (cool, light) skin, but I often wear a brozner.

    ^ i bought nars lovejoy.

    i wanted to love it... it stayed put. too dark for me, in the end. i don't know any other colors i'd look hot in, by nars... i'm so picky with m/u colors.

    Nars is my favorite blush too. I used to like Orgasm (which they push on everyone), but I find it too light. Now I use Outlaw because you can put it on sheer or add more for a dramatic night look. It might work on your darker skin.

    Do you try these on in the store before buying? I never spend $25 on a blush without trying it on for a little while.

    have you considered your brush? it's a bit strange, but at sephora, the nars taos i bought was way too strong for me, but the color was what i wanted, so i got in anyways. lo and behold, with my shitty avon blush brush, it looks really good. i can use just a little bit for regular wear, or more for work. like, i'll tap it the brush so lightly to the blush you can barely see anything on it. i imagine with a good brush, you'd have to be even more gentle.

    that's actually one of my favorite things about nars blush. the pigment is soooo rich. it must last forever.

    ^^I've been using the same Outlaw going on 2 years. There's still a bunch left!!


    Corgan, have you looked into MUFE? I'm willing to help you out with the palette here (plus I get 35% off ). You could go try them at Sephora and pick out 3 for a palette. Or just 1, but I'm one of those people that needs lots of options, so I'd go for the 3.

    I have Lovejoy too...I like it, but I don't love it like I love Outlaw. Maybe give Outlaw a try??
