Top 5 Blushes

 
 
 
 
 
Picture heavy post, with slightly bad pictures. But give me space to grow please! I am still new at this... Anyway, On to my top 5 blushes!!!
I also just would like to say that about two months ago I got rid of about 1/3 of my makeup, and so with my blushes I only really kept my favorites. So if I do a makeup collection post soon or a blush collection, you are looking at most of my blushes... so yeah, but I wouldn't put these in here if I didn't love them.
Keep in mind that I am extreamely fair skinned!!

Middle: Nyx powder blush in Peach

Same as above, just the blushes are open.

Closer up of my two elf blushes
Top: Candid Coral
Bottom: Peachy Keen

Even closer up of Candid Coral: This blush is a very pretty and easy to wear pink with a tiny bit of coral in it, I wouldn't say that this is super corally or anything like that. This is just insanely easy to wear and it is beautiful on.

Peachy Keen: This is a neutral blush, sorta. It does have peach in it, like before, I wouldn't say that it is overly peachy though. This I have hit pan on, or was/ am very close to, when I dropped it one too many times and it broke. It is very fragile now that I broke and it still continures to break. When I went to take swatched after taking this picture it actually broke again! So that is sad, but like the other elf blush this is great for everyday.

Nyx's powder blush in Peach

This picture really showcases the peach of the color, but I wouldn't say that this is a straight up peach color at all, I would say that this is a pink with a decent amount of peach in it. In some lights the peach is almost completely gone though. Like a reacuring theme in my blushes this is great for everyday wear. And as you can see I wore down the top design greatly, there was a small amount of time where this is the only blush I would really use. This blush is one of my top blushes of the five easily.

Tarte amazonian clay blush
Top: Exposed
Bottom: Dollface

Dollface: This is a light pink with a great amount of pigment. In my swatches below it slighly looks like a bright pink. When I use this I use a very little amount because that is simply all I need. this can also look very natural, but if you want something less natural this will also work great for that. I adore this blush XD

Exposed: You can tell this is new, especially if you compare it to the small bit of wear to dollface, even though it is new it is perfect for when I want something that isn't pink. This is a beautiful natural color that I find kind of hard to explain. Wears great and beautifully, and I am actually wearing this today, I applied with a stippling brush (its my only clean blush brush...) It looks great.
