My friend with the same colouring as yours loves this www.writingwhimsy.com/stila-convertible-color-dual-lip-cheek-palette-sunrise-splendor-swatches-review/

I use the darker version of those shades and find them exceptionally easy to blend and very natural. If the pallet isn't available now, then the individual shades are on the website.

I love Stila cream blush - I always come back to them.

Nars sex appeal - lovely subtle peach colour. Also Dior rosy glow - applied very lightly.

Reluctantly, does the Autograph blusher give a dewy finish or is it more matte?

I think Benefit's Dandelion is meant to be good for paler complexions?

Bluesheep8 · 06/05/2018 07:41

Yes, benefit dandelion! I'm pale (Irish colouring) and this blusher's great for me. It's powder but you can add glow with benefit high beam or shy beam

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/05/2018 07:56

Dandelion is bloody brilliant. It lasts for ages too, so, although it seems expensive, it's good value.

I just got a new one from BareMinerals that I'm really enjoying. It goes on sheer so you don't get that clown face. There are lots of colours, the one I got was called Pink Wink or something? Light warmish pink

applecatchers36 · 06/05/2018 08:38

Benefit dandelion works well

ReluctantlyRedundant101 · 06/05/2018 08:51

It’s quite dewy poppy

I'm using Bobbi Brown pot rouge in Pale Pink which is a cream blusher. You pat or stipple it in and it's leaves a glowy finish.

TheBitterBoy · 06/05/2018 08:59

I use Bobbi Brown pot rouge in pale pink, or rose if I want a slightly warmer colour

Babybearsporij · 06/05/2018 09:02

Another vote for Benefit Dandelion.

I also had a nice one from Max Factor - Cream Puff or something I think it was called. I had a shade called Lavish Mauve, which was actually really flattering on me. You could build it up if you wanted.

The Bourjois blushers go on quite pale too, need building up, but one coat is perfect for us pale skinned lovelies.

mikado1 · 06/05/2018 09:02

Following.

Wondering if you add glow e.g. highbeam after or before blush??

StopBeingNosey · 06/05/2018 09:03

Benefit Dandelion is good so is Max Factor blusher (can’t remember what the name of th colour is, sorry).

Bluesheep8 · 06/05/2018 09:07

High or shybeam AFTER blush. Just dot and blend.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 06/05/2018 09:12

Nars Bumpy Ride.

MissReginaPhilange · 06/05/2018 09:14

Honestly if your on a budget Superdrug do a blush thats makeup revolution. It's a baked one and swirled with highlighter I think it's like 3quid. I'm pale and it's beautiful best one I've used .... bronzer for pale skin if your interested hoola by benefit...amazing

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/05/2018 09:33

I bought Hoola and ended up giving it to dd1. It made me look dirty.

poppyinbloom · 06/05/2018 11:48

There is Hoola Light and the regular Hoola. I have the original but the Hoola Light looks nice.
