Favourite Fall Blushes

blushes
Fall is my favourite season and blush is my favourite makeup product. Even though I tend to use some of my blushes year-round, there are certain shades that I gravitate towards when the weather gets colder. Below are my six favourite blushes for fall:

tarte exposed


Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in "Exposed": A beautiful soft nude brown with strong pink undertones that is matte. The perfect blush for a natural cheek shade and one of the few blushes that I use year-round.

tarte natural beauty


Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in "Natural Beauty": Described as a strawberry red shade, it is extremely pigmented and you only need the slightest tap of the brush when using this blush. It gives the cheeks a natural "I just came in from a walk in the crisp fall weather" kind of flush.

nars douceur


NARS Powder Blush in "Douceur": This is similar to Exposed, but less pink. I like using this lower on my cheeks to help in providing some contour. Do you need both Exposed and Douceur? Definitely not, but these are two of my favourite shades!

nars sin


NARS Powder Blush in "Sin": Sin is a plum berry shade with gold shimmer and so fitting with the plum trend this fall season. This was the first blush shade I ever bought, which started my blush obsession. The gold shimmer is finely milled, subtle and extremely flattering with this shade.

laura mercier spiced cider


Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour in "Spiced Cider": This is a dusty rose colour with gold shimmer. Even though the swatch has a strong orange/brown hue, it is very natural on the cheeks and gives a sun-kissed look.

mac peachtwist


MAC Sheertone Shimmer Blush in "Peachtwist": In the pan, it looks very much like a rusty peach colour with golden sparkle. On the face, it blends very well on my warm skin tone. I find this blush is quite pigmented, so only a little bit is needed.
