Blusher for super pale ladies

Hi can anyone recommend me a great blusher for super super porcelain pale ladies? Fed up of being told how pale/ ill I look (even when wearing bronzer!) and would like something that adds colour and life without making me look like a 14 year old playing with Mummy's makeup.

Just to add to the fun, sensitive skin so nothing overly perfumed etc!

Very pale person here - MAC Well Dressed gets my vote. Its a pale pink with a very very slight shimmer (that you wouldn't notice at all really, even up close and personal!) But dont let that put you off of you're not a fan of pink - it looks SO natural on. And its buildable and blendable - its really hard to go wrong with it.
(Ideal for my slightly haphazard application...)

@lms2017 thank you, I'll give porcelain a try next time. I am pinker so China doll isn't right. Love the formulation though! I'll have a look for the GOSH one now.

I'm quite pale, and hate the powdery fakeness of blusher. For years have just used a little of the lipstick I'm wearing that day on my cheeks as well! It gives a far more natural dewy finish, and kind of brings you face together as the skin tone of your cheeks will naturally be a diluted shade of your lips, I use a light dusting of finishing powder over the top and a smidge of highlighter at the top of my cheekbones. Worth a try!

YY to Nars Orgasm - the stick because the powder is too glittery.

I’m also liking Trinny London lips and cheeks in Phoebe for a natural-looking flush.

@orangepear you're welcome . You can always mix the too if it is too light but I prefer it light then add colour to my face rather than having a orange head and white body Grin . #palegirlsproblems xx

Hourglass ethereal blush. Impossible to overdo!

Lots to try here, thanks all! Wish there was a good place to get samples first :)

Bobbi brown pot rouge in powder pink. It's a cream blush, I don't get on with powder. You can use it in your lips as well. Makes me look naturally healthy, I'm nc15 I think.
