Asking you: Finding the Perfect Blush

Benefit_dallas Noone's been asking the team this week so I thought I'd turn the tables and ask you. Despite having several hundred draws overflowing with makeup, not one of them contains a decent blush. Now I'm planning to follow up Gemma's recommendation of Benefit's Dallas bronzer/blush combo (or the new Dallas Palette - which sounds fantastic). But before I do I wanted to ask you guys what your favourite blusher is and what you'd recommend for me.

Nothing I've tried looks right or natural on me (Benefit's Benetint and similar tend to look too red, and everything else looks too orange). I'm very pale, freckly, and quite red cheeked naturally (but in the 'she looks hot and bothered' way not the good way!).

So over to you...

Asking you: Finding the Perfect Blush - Comments

I have the answer you all want

The perfect pink for pale peeps, the big daddy of the blush world

It's benefit pinch me..I'm dreaming.. think it is about fifteen British squid.

I'm a pale old trash bag and this makes me look awake, flushed, young... like I've had a good time in the stationary cupboard.

Thank you for all the brilliant responses! I will have to check as many of your suggestions out as I can - I've enjoyed your answers so much I think perhaps we should make ask the team into ask the audience!

I'm pale, and freckly too - I love NARS Orgasm, and also their Turkish Red creme blush which looks a scary bright red in the pan, but because it's a 'blood red' colour, you only need to blend in a tiny bit to get a really authentic flushed look, as if you've just come in from a cold walk. Boots No 7 do a great browny-peach powder blush called Honey, which is great for subtle shading, but for a more dramatic, flattering pop of colour, the very pigmented Apricot is amazing.

i would go for dandilion too. I think the colour is very friendly to all skin colour. I use Benetint first then blush dandilion on, it's very natural look. I just got Dallas and i think i'm falling in love with it day by day. Easy to apply bronzer/blush.

Perhaps I am obsessed with all blush products from Benefit!

I love NARS Orgasm as well. Lovely simmry peach, and lasts all day.

When I want something a little darker, I opt for BeneFit take a picture, it'll last longer.

I also love Red Earth #Pk301, the perfect medium pink. No shimmer, just pink cheeks.
