View Full Version : Blush recs for oily skin?

I have fairly large pores and slightly oily skin. When I use PF Mineral Powder, my skin is left dewey, not matte. So, I can't really use a blush with lots of shimmer because it will just make my skin look oily and accentuates my pores.
Right now, the blush I'm using is Milani Luminous. It's pretty on my eyes, but the color fades quickly from my cheeks. I love the Nars Orgasm color, but it's too shimmery as well.
Any recs?
I'm CG Classic Ivory, (slightly darker now that it's summer).

NARS blushes are long lasting, so why not look into one of the matte shades? If you like Orgasm, you might want to look at something like Amour, Gina, or Gilda. That's what I would do.

I really like the body shop's blushes,
I own Golden Pink and Apricot Shimmer and still want to buy Toast.
They last all day even on my combination skin.
I have oily skin & this is what works the best for me:
Maybelline Mousse blush
then
any powder blush on top
Lasts *all* day!!!

MAC also has great Matte blushes. Also, mineral blushes in general wear well on me.

I really like Clinique's Soft-Pressed Powder Blushers. They are all matte, and are very natural and buildable. Prescriptives blushes are also great. I really want to get all of the ones for Y/O skin, including the bronzer. I used to have one of them, but had to toss my palette because it got damaged in the fire. I'm definitely going to make a palette of them soon.

Another rec for MAC blushes! I find them to be really long-wearing. My personal favorite blush is GloMinerals Sweet blush - I've heard it's a really good match for NARS Orgasm, minus the shimmer.

I love NARS Amour blush! It's so gorgeous and gives me the best color. I highly recommend!

I also have to be careful with shimmer because it does make my pores more visible. I tend to stick with matte blushes but I do love MAC Style. It has slight shimmer that is very subtle and easy to work with. It's not overpowering at all and it's a nice peachy shade too.

Well I caved and made two Px palettes last night, and bought a lot of other stuff too which I'll write about in the Hauls section. I got all of the blushes in the Y/O category - Ginger, Fawn and Brown Sugar. I also got the light bronzer and the warm light highlighter. I still have one more empty spot in one of the palettes, so I'll wait until they come out with something else I'm interested in.
I was getting bored with my Clinique blushes and bronzer, plus Px's are a better match for my skintone because I can buy the shades that are made specifically for it. I strayed to other skintone categories for the lipglosses, but I stuck with Y/O for the blushes.

I dropped by The Body Shop and picked up Apricot Shimmer. Golden Pink was pretty in the container, but it was a greater punch of color on my cheeks than I was hoping for. Apricot Shimmer has a nice subtle glow and brings out my Asian skintones.
So far so good on the color, fingers crossed that it has staying power!
Still wanting to try Nars Amour, too.

My favorite long-lasting blushes are NARS blushes, Everyday Minerals blushes, and MAC Blushcremes. HTH!
