Top Five - Autumn/Winter Blushers

Hi everyone,

Winter is now upon us in Australia, and so has the appearance of the richer winter colour palette in fashion, as well as makeup. I find that when winter comes around each year I often switch my makeup products; opting for a lot of cooler toned pinks, plums and browns. So, here is the first post of a regular series of my Top Five products for winter, beginning with Top Five - Autumn/Winter Blushers.

L-R Top to bottom:

• Maybelline New York Mineral POWER Naturally Luminous Blush in Fresh Plum

• MAC Sheertone Shimmer Blush in Peachykeen

• MAC Powder Blush Matte in Buff

• e.l.f Blush in Candid Coral

 

• MAC Satin Powder Blush in Well Dressed

• Maybelline New York Mineral POWER Naturally Luminous Blush in Fresh Plum

• MAC Sheertone Shimmer Blush in Peachykeen

• MAC Powder Blush Matte in Buff

• e.l.f Blush in Candid Coral

• MAC Satin Powder Blush in Well Dressed

Above: Swatches (Top to bottom) - MAC Well Dressed, elf Candid Coral, MAC Buff, MAC Peachykeen, Maybelline Fresh Plum.

As I am quite fair in colouring, with blonde hair and blue eyes I don't go overboard with the intensity of my blushers. I usually contour with a bronzer and then apply the blusher over top of my cheekbones.
