Subtle powder blush: pale skin

7 replies

Murpe · 25/04/2024 11:28

I stopped wearing blusher about a decade ago, but now my 40-something face looks like it could use a bit of help, but I am just befuddled by choice. Does anyone have any recommendations, please?

My skin is very pale with yellowish tones, and I'd like something inexpensive (under £15), that's a bit pinky-peach. Has to be powder as I have type 1 rosacea now (redness and some broken capillaries), so while bareminerals tinted moisturiser covers that enough, I don't want to dislodge that base by applying a cream/Benetint type thing. Grateful for any suggestions!

The Benefit blushes are so nice and they have lots of different shades so you'd be able to find one that suits your skin tone if you go to the counter they will help you. It's a little bit over budget but they really do last so it might be worth stretching if you like it - https://www.lookfantastic.com/benefit-dandelion-baby-pink-blush-powder-mini-2.5g/13713977.html

Bourjois blushes are cheap. I use a peachy toned pink one that is fairly subtle.

Dandelion is fantastic.

Also look at Catrice and Revolution which are fantastic for pale skins.

I'm very pale and like my Revolution one
Cheap and a wide range of shades
Slightly more expensive but elf are good too( and their lipsticks are better than Mac on me)

These. Their baked ones are very similar to chanel

Okay, I am convinced by the Dandelion one! Looks just right, thank you.
