I never seem to find the time to go to one of the beauty counters in stores and am a bit rubbish at choosing my own.

I have dyed 'morello cherry' hair and pale to warm skin.

Any suggestions for a 'one suits everyone' blusher that I can buy online??

I keep hearing about Nars 'orgasm' and 'deep throat' as the be all and end all of blushers.
I think orgasm is the one thats meant to be universally suitable.
You could also try benetint?

Nars Orgasm is very flattering on most people, but is pricey enough - think there are reasonable dupes around (though can't think of any off the top of my head). If expense is no object, though, I'd go for it, I love mine and am on my third pan of it.

YY to Nars orgasm, I use the cream blusher though,

BunnyLebowski · 14/09/2014 17:16

Sleek Rose Gold is an almost identical dupe for Nars Orgasm. And about £5 in Superdrug.

I hated it. Far too bright and far too glittery. I am pale and it made me look like a clown.

I use deep throat daily [win really love it

sleepingbetternow82 · 14/09/2014 17:42

I bought "orgasm" after reading it suited everyone but sadly it didn't suit me! Still looking and watching this thread!

DaftSkunk · 14/09/2014 17:45

I was recommended Bourjois in Rose Ambre. Little pot of blush I think they're called. I would recommend too!

LinusDKD · 14/09/2014 17:51

Orgasm didn't suit my pale skin but Deap Throat is lovely.

I also like Revlon Miracle Touch Creamy Blush in Soft Pink and a recent discovery is Nyx cream blush in Red Cheeks.

I am keeping that last one for winter as it is super pigmented and a very Snow White kind of pinky red and you only need a tiny amount and a lot of blending.

BobPatandIgglePiggle · 14/09/2014 18:09

Ooh - never looked at Nars. Might save that for my santa list though.. thanks so much for the suggestions, didn't think I'd get any replies!

I've used dandelion by Benefit for years, I love it. So subtle yet adds that touch of warmth I need.

SchnitzelVonKrumm · 14/09/2014 18:18

Orgasm terrible if you're pale. There's a Chantecaille one called Winter Bloom that's very wearable.

cromwell44 · 14/09/2014 18:19

I second the Bourjois rose blusher in a little pot. Lasts for ages. Never found anything as good and easy to apply.

endoflevelbaddy · 14/09/2014 18:26

There's a fab urban decay naked face palette with matte bronzer and blusher, and a powder highlighter. Not sure how much but I'm similar colouring to OP and I use it every day, can just add more for an evening look. It was a Mother's Day present and it's not even half used yet, so I would definitely recommend.

LosBreakingBad · 14/09/2014 18:31

There's a blogger called London beauty Review, who sounds as if she has identical colouring to you. She's worth a look as her recommendations are good. I can't link as I'm on phone.

silversixpence · 14/09/2014 18:36

I have the rose ambre bourjois one too and it is a lovely colour on me (medium dark Asian skin) and my sister (pale, almost Caucasian skin tone)

mylittlepeanutface · 14/09/2014 19:22

I wear Nars Orgasm every day. It does have subtle glitter flecks in it but I don't find it too much and I have very pale skin.
The cost may be a lot but I've had the same one for about 4 years and it's not even half way done so it works out great value!

beachywaves · 14/09/2014 19:38

I fourth Bourjois Rose Ambre - very prettifying.

usualnamechanger · 14/09/2014 19:45

Rose gold, sleek. You might need a stronger colour if you are black, they have nice shades of blusher and they are cheap.

usualnamechanger · 14/09/2014 19:47

Rose gold by sleek is a nars orgasm dupe.

yazzy85 · 14/09/2014 19:48

Mac Springsheen is a lovely alternative to Nars Orgasm, I have both and prefer Springsheen as it doesn't have glitter.

morechildrenplease · 14/09/2014 22:21

Bourjois here too. Love it

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 16/09/2014 15:19

I am liking the seventeen blush stamp ones that are in a pot with a sponge that deposits a perfect circle of colour on each cheek that you then blend in. the pale pinky one has been super for my summer pinks.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 16/09/2014 15:32

I've just discovered seventeen bronzer, I'm pale and it's the perfect amount of colour that just brightens you up. No glitter and not orange. Apparently it's a dupe for Nars Laguna(I read that in a blog and reviews)
