Autumn Blush Picks

Autumn Blush

I don’t usually discriminate makeup as seasonal only, but from time to time, I get swept up by the vibe of various holidays that my makeup just follows suit. Here are some blushes that I’ve been tending to reach for lately.

Autumn Blush - Swatches

L-R: Addiction Cheek Stick (Tea Rose), Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush (Exposed), MAC Extra Dimension Blush (Fiery Impact), NARS Blush (Sin), Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush (Blushing Bride), BECCA Beach Tint (Raspberry), Addiction Cheek Stick (Suspicious)

I tend to go neutral (to pair with a vampy lip) or with plums and berries if I want to wear a nude or neutral lip. I’ve been laying off the corals and pinks right now, but I can’t say for sure if that’s due to the seasonal changes.

What blushes have you reaching for lately? Is it seasonally inspired? Do share!

    I don’t follow ‘season appropriate’ makeup colors too… for me, it’s autumn all year round! It’s my favorite season in terms of releases 😀 And my eyes are gravitating towards that nars blush 😀

      Love love Autumn makeup, too! I get really excited about holiday collections, though. Give Sin a shot, it’s beautiful 😀

    Ooh, I love Tarte Blushing Bride + Exposed and NARS Sin! They’re some of my favorite blushes. You should try Tarte Flushed, too! Thinking of trying out your color choices (neutral blush + vampy lip or plums and berries + neutral lip) more, BTW, since I usually go for matching combinations (but I do contrasts too every once in a while).

    Great post! Followed you. Hoping you could follow back! x

    I totally discriminate seasons since my skin is so pale in winter I like the way certain things look more at different times… I have to admit the xmas editions are always the most beautiful to buy!!

        This winter I really wanted the new Chanel palette, but they won’t be importing it to Malta. I got the Naked2 a little over a month ago so im still crazy for that. I def go darker for winter. In summer it can reach 45 degrees so makeup is kept much more simple. 🙂

        Ah, that makes sense! I live in a tropical country so it’s always uncomfortable to be in too-heavy makeup. I love the Naked 2, glad to hear you love it too! I think the colors are perfect for fall/autumn/winter. 🙂

        🙂 I cant wait for naked3 which from the images I’ve seen so far look perfect for spring! Slowly I’m starting to wear berry shades for lipstick too we only get like 2 seasons here so transition takes ages. Just broke out my blazer and boots :)) but kinda happy for the cooler weather! !

        Ah, we get 2 seasons here, too! 🙂 That’s interesting. I love cooler weather. I think it’s because it feels like summer here all year round!

        Yes!! I totally get it. Im still seeing tourists in shorts and flip flops lol. I like being cozy the best feeling is sleeping in a quilt lol

    I definitely don’t go anywhere near corals this time of year! And I love autumn makeup so much. Hehe. My fave blushes of late have been the Milani Baked Blush in Terra Sole and NARS Oasis. Dying to try NARS Sin though!
