The Perfect Peach/Coral Cheek Combination


I have been searching high and low for that perfect coral blush but to no avail.. Everything I find is either too shimmery or too pink or just waay off..

So after playing around in my huge blush collection.. I came up with the Perfect Coral/Peach Blend! =D


So here it goes..


Firstly I apply my favourite cream blush..

The gorgeous Mac Virgin Isle CremeBlend using my MAC 188.. This cream blush is absolutely stunning! It's a bright coral that blends effortlessly on your cheeks giving you that beautiful flush..



And then I go ahead and apply my favourite peach blush..


The one and only Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Lover using any blush brush.. This bright peach is like no other.. It's so pigmented.. Lasts all day on your cheeks.. And is easily blended..



Result?




And that's all it is.. That's all I need to get my beautiful Coraly Peachy look for the summer..
This discovery has left me a very satisfied human being =)



What are you favourite Peach/Coral blushes?

That is sooo pretty! The only peach blush I have right now is Peaches by mac. It's not very vibrant. I might try layering it over my Orange Nyx cream blush. Thanks for the tip!! :)

Nice combo! I wish we had Illamasqua in Canada. :(
I picked up the blush called Hussy while on vacation and absolutely love it. I need more!!

Wow Illamasqua Lover looks so stunning. I have virgin isle and I love it! It reminds me a lot of Korres Orange, which is also really pretty.

Prettyinthedesert - I'm not a huge fan of Mac Peaches.. You should definitely try Lover.. It's just gorgeous and on your beautiful tan skin it'll look even better I'm sure!

Tracy@Beauty Reflections - Thanks =) Yah illamasqua blushes are gawgous!

Vida - Yah I actually was thinkin of getting Korres Orange blush while on the hunt for that perfect coral blush but I didn't want anything with shimmer on it.. But the colour is absolutely stunning I must admit..

That looks beautiful! I like to use MAC's Instant Chic blush, or Stereo Rose MSF or my Illamasqua cream blush in Rude

The combination is beautiful! I think it looks like a more pigmented version of the darker side of Ripe Peach!

nice combination! i absolutely love my virgin isle and of course mac something special cream blush is a new fave (i'll do a FOTD with it 2mro :) ...maybe i could try mixing the two like you have done here x

Catharina said...

Wow - that looks amazing! Nice combo!! It reminds me of Benefit Coralista (which I loooove), but that's much sheerer than this. Love it! Since I don't have either of these blushers I guess I'll have to stick to my Coralista... for now. ;)

Oh wow, the colour u got is soo pretty!! I've been eyeing that Estee Lauder peachy gradient blush for a while and can't wait to give it a try, will stick with MAC Peaches until then :P xx

omgsh! they look so pretty together! I rarely blend my blushes together but I should experiment more!

Ebru said...

Thanks for your comment on my blog :) Wow you're so right, it looks gorgeous paired with Virgin Isle, great discovery! :)

Lilit said...

That is just a fantastic result, I love the colour it turned out. I don't own any cream blushes but i'm so tempted to get one just so I can do some layering. And Illamasqua Lover is my all time favourite coral blush. Great to see another Illamasqua addict here :)

Mai said...

Kelly - Really wanna try Illamasqua cream blushes!!


25FLONFON - I love my peaches! Thanks hun


PoPBlush - You dooo!! It's so worth it!


Rachy - Virgin Isle is superb! Makes any blush super great!


Makeup Look/Catharina - Coralista is way too shimmery for me.. This combo is deeper than the coralista


UrbanMermaid - I posted a seatch of the EL Peach Nuance.. And it's more towards the pinky side.. But it's a nice blush


little lucy - You gotta try layer blushes. You'd be surprised what you can come up with ;)


Ebru - Thanks hun =)


Makeup and Macaroons - I love Lover too!! It's one of my favs ever! Hehe yup loves my illamasqua =P Thanks hun
