Piou-Pious, thanks for your kind words and your thoughtful comment.

Love your tips about blush placement, it makes it so easy to achieve a natural look. I have to say, though, I’ve never seen pigmented bushes as an investment. I’m so pale, they’ve always scared me and turned me into a clown. lol 🙂 Korean blushes, instead, are just perfect – love that sheerness.

I loved reading your comment on Paris’ website. I adore her blog. Her reviews are always so well-written and she’s such a lovely lady too. 🙂

Jumping in late lol
I love NARS’ Exhibit A, an almost neon warm red blush.
And yes, being soo pigmented, it’s a great investment, you need a tiny bit of it only.
I use a brush that’s not too dense, such as NARS Yachiyo, una pasada!

I absolutely love to share useful tips I’ve learnt along the way with you all, so here we go!
For instance, Monsiieur Alex gave a very useful tip about red blush placement in his YouTube channel.
For the most natural flush, he advices to try concentrate colour in the inside of the face, within the triangle zone. That’s because our cheeks don’t become orange or coral in real life on the outter part of the face after a zumba session lol

But I also love lilac shades in the upper part of my cheekbones, KBeauty-style and it’s very cute against my warm to olive undertoned NC20/25.
But Korean blushes being so sheer -not a bad thing at all but beware these may look chalky on skins over NC25-, I’ve resorted to Kiko’s eyeshadow stick to do the trick, before lightly dusting some Kbrand lavender highlighter.
BTW, this following resource was so useful to me whilst investigating skin undertones spectrum: http://musicalhouses.blogspot.com.es/2010/01/undertones-for-asians-how-to-tell-if.html?m=1
On a side note, I thought about our previous discussions about stereotyped women body images hammered down by patriarchal society.
It’s captured on my comment about the contouring craze on my My Women Stuff’s blog – under my nickname Piou-Piou. This is the very last comment, so just scroll and scroll until the very bottom:

Having noticed you’re also commenting on Paris’ website as well, I may keep my username Piou-Piou with you for easier consistency.

You, Gio and Paris rock, it’s so delectable to read your thoroughful, wittily written posts. You go gurls!!!

Love,
Piou-Piou/ Pastelita.

Meg, they are. Benefit blushes are quite sheer, but very smooth. Nars are lovely too, and they have so many shades to choose from!

I love Maybelline’s dream bouncy blush or Rimmel’s cream blush if I’m going for creams, and Covergirl’s powder blushes are nice and have a fantastic array of colors. I’d love to try some NARS or Benefit blushes, I’ve heard they’re wonderful.
