  2. I like to layer blush faintly, like watercolor washes, and my go-to layering blush right now is Klimt Eastwood from Baroque Cosmetics. I do a very pale wash over … well, pretty much any of my other blushes … and it makes me look like I’m glowing.

      1. I love it! I like to NOT match the areas I’m covering exactly, so there’s color variation. It just looks more natural to me, and with the right combinations, almost artistic.

  3. Right now, I’m in love with the Becca Limited Edition Shimmering Skin Perfector in Blushed Copper – a VERY little goes a VERY long way, but it’s so pretty and it gives NARS Orgasm a run for its money (I never go anywhere without my Orgasm either!)

      1. I need to get a second compact before nobody has any left! I need a tube of Orgasm highlighter too!

  4. Josie Maran Argan Color stick in Coral, which gives me a little color but doesn’t make my rosacea look worse. I love Illamasqua’s cream blushes but all the shades I have are pink, and they accentuate the redness after a couple of hours 🙁

  5. I don’t really have a lot of blushes – the one I use the most is the NYX Sunkissed Face palette.

  7. Either Tarte in blushing bride or Urban Decay flushed in Native. I’m a bit late to the highlighter party, but I’m really liking it. I may need to order the Notoriously Morbid you had on in that recent blue tutorial, Phyrra. It was sooo pretty!
