I came across this tag while reading A Beautiful Zen-- I made a few little edits to some of the questions.
What blush colour suits you the most?
I really gravitate towards rosey blushes with neutral to plum undertones for my day to day look. I mean I would say I am lucky in that I think I can pull off most blushes, but I have a real soft spot for nice, neutral rosey blushes with a hint of plum.
Pressed, cream or loose blush?
Who has time for loose blush? Who needs that much pigment? I have a solid collection of pressed blushes, but my favourites tend to be cream formulas.
Favourite shimmery blush?
Hahahaha I am going to sound so clichéd, but I must say: NARS Orgasm.
Favourite matte blush?
Taret's Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in "Mirage" is a pretty soft neutral pink that while not described as a matte, tends to wear like one. Again, I have hit pan on this beauty and am pretty pleased with myself. This blush is never a hassle, always applies nicely, and I will be sad to see it go.
Favourite cream blush?
Right now I am pretty obsessed with my Sonia Kashuk cream to powder blush in "Blossom" 03. One of the few blushes I have ever hit pan on! I just find it to be so wearable and flattering. It has been in my travel make-up bag pretty consistently for the last few months.
Favourite drugstore blush?
Ummmmmm so I don't think I actually have any. Does H & M's Beauty Department count as "drugstore"? RIGHT. NYX is drugstore. Probably just about every NYX blush.
Favourite high end blush?
All of them? Probably Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushes.Specifically: Mood Exposure.
Edit: After trying Charlotte Tilbury's Pop & Swirl* blush I simply must add it to the list as a tie. First Love is just lovely.
Favourite bright blush?
I love "Justify My Love"* by Too Faced. It is a pretty, bright bubble gum pink with some sparkle. Applied to the apples of my cheeks, it is a fun wash of colour.
Biggest blush disappointment/regret?
Blush regrets...I kind of regret giving away my back up of my Sonia Kashuk blush in "Blossom". But, in my defence, I gave it to a very old and dear friend of mine who was transitioning to cruelty free make-up, and she gave me three MAC blushes just because. I don't regret giving it to her. At the time I liked it but I did not know that I loved it. I guess I regret not buying a third backup? Is that silly? That is kind of my blush regret. Not buying a third back up of a blush I didn't yet know I loved.
Edit: Walking down Yonge street a few weeks ago I came across a random little store having a clearance sale and lo and behold they literally had a bin full of SK makeup that they bought at Target when it was going out of business. I was able to buy four more Blossom blushes at about $3 a piece. More than the pennies I paid when Target was leaving Canada but still a great deal. I gave one to my little cousin and the rest I have stock piled.
Best blush packaging?
I like any packaging that has a sturdy mirror and a solid clasp. Tarte Amazonian 12 Hour Wear blush is good, NARS is good. I like functional blushes that I can toss in my purse on the go.
What's on your blush wish list?
Right now I am really content with my blush collection. But if I had to pick, I would love to add some more NARS blushes to my collection.
Edit: And more Charlotte Tilbury blushes to my list too...
What is your latest blush purchase?
A few weeks ago I redeemed some Shoppers points for Smashbox's Crush on Blush palette which I am currently working on reviewing for you1
