Beauty Essential: What The Blush
To be honest, I am not committed to a particular blush. While a few of my favorites are Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush in #55 In Love and NARS Blush in Amour, I don't really stick to one brand over the other.
I also alternate between powder and cream blushes depending on my mood. For daytime, I tend to stick to pale pink or a coral shade. As for nighttime, I sometimes go for a bolder hue like bright pink (take caution though... too much and you look crazy).
When deciding which blush to go with, I always take my lip color into consideration. If I will go with nude lip, I will try and choose a blush in the same family. And if I'm wearing a red lip, I will do the same. Since it's hard to match the exact shade of a red lip, try dabbing a little of the lipstick on your finger and using it as a cream blush. I usually turn to this trick when I'm in a pinch and don't have any blush on me. It works like a gem. But, be forewarned: a little bit goes a long way.
So tell me, what blush do you use? I'm currently searching for a new coral based blush for summer... Any suggestions?

Hi Lauren! I am a little obsessed with blush too! I just purchased new Dior blush in Rosy Glow and it's amazing! It looks super bright pink but makes you have a pretty natural flush which I've been looking for in a blush for the longest time. Kind of costly but worth every penny :) -
I love Nars Blush too - I use the shade Liberte, it's gorgeous! See the rest of my essentials here:

I'm totally in love with Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge. I don't know how it is called in America, but it is a cream blush, which also can be used as lipstick. It stays the whole day and the colours are beautiful. I got three: Pale Pink, Powder Pink and Calypso Coral. The last one is the perfekt summer-coral-tone

Tarte's amazonian clay in tipsy is a great coral, it can just be a bit hard to blend. But NARS blush in Gina is a perfect peachy color for summer, gives a great glow and has awesome pay off!

Dream mousse cream blush in peach shimmer is a blush that goes on fairly transparent, or you can build more color by adding more. It gives a glow from within look and blends terrifically !

I'm still in search of a good blush-it's so hard to find one to show up on my skin without being too pink! I may try the Nars Orgasm since it's always on "best of" beauty lists.
