| I always wear blush but somehow think I look better without it, or just a very slight almost unnoticeable color. All the mags I read seem to think its the one thing you should use! |

wow...how funny.
I dont wear blush. I do look better without it.
I have a long, oval face (I've heard I resemble Celine Dion more than once), and I think my face looks better without it.
It seems to make my face look longer.
So, I just dont wear it. |

| I don't look good without blush. It gives me the color that I need. |

SandraG...you hit the nail on the head!! It makes my face look longer! I also think it makes my eyes stand out more, as I do wear lots of eye make up and they dont seem to be fighting with the blush when I omit it. Maybe I just wore too much blush in the first place!!!  |

I hardly ever wear blush as it looks waayyyy overdone one me for everyday.must be because I have apple cheeks rather than high cheekbones.
For a lovely glow when I do go out in the evenings as I want to be more glam Laura Mercier golden mosaic is fantastic to give light to your face without looking like a clown. You can shade with the darker colour and highlight with the lighter shades. Perfect. |

I seldom wear blush during everyday life but if its a night out I usually still keep blush to minimal. My face gets a little red after drinking wine anyways  |

| I'm a bit phobic about wearing blush. For years my cheeks have had blotchy redness, and although my retinoid plus vitamin c regimen has toned them down a lot, I still am wary of putting more red there. Plus, as I'm on the shady side of fifty, blush can make me look a little clownish. When I wear it, I tend to go extremely light with it. I suspect that my two blushes will last me forever at the rate I'm using them. |

| Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Depends on my mood. I often forget to put on blush, but I never ever forget lip stuff or mascara! |

| I always wear lips & eyes. As for blush, usually I'll wear a tan powder over my already ruddy looking cheeks. Gives me a more of a refined look to the cheekbones. |

| It really depends. I have some lovely mineral makeup powder blushes that give a natural looking subtle glowy flush and I like to use those, but some days I just don't have time or I seem not to need it. I always try to use lipcolor and mascara. Blush is a "maybe" addition. |

I rarely ever wear blush, simply because my cheeks are so red to start of with & I don't think I need any! I occasionally wear bronzer if I'm in the mood.  |

I really like blushes, but I think I look better without them also.  |

| Wow! I thought everyone wore blush. I can't imagine going without it. I would feel so drab (although I do worry about that little, old lady rouge cheek look, especially since my eyes are not what they used to be!). I can go without any eye makeup, just some lip gloss, but must have my blush (I have been known to use lipstick in a pinch). Are there any other blush junkies out there? |

| I think it definitely depends on your bone structure. My cheekbones are very prominent (very severe if I lose 5-10 lbs.) so I never wear it. Sometimes in the winter if I feel especially pale I'll use a little bronzer, but that's it. I've always wanted to wear it though . I guess I usually go for the "pale" look in general. More often than not I'll just wear mascara/eye liner and a little lip gloss...maybe I'm really frightening to look at, who knows, lol. |

| I can't go without blush. I need it for a flush of healthy color to my cheeks. I think it's all about finding the right color to flatter your skintone. |

| I don't wear any eye makeup, but I have permanent eyeliners, so it looks like I got eyeliners on all the time. I don't usually wear any lipstick b/c I got a lip allergy for all lipsticks. I also don't wear any blush, except for when I go out. So I usually just get up and go, except for all the skincare routines I put on my face which takes a lot of time every morning. I'm trying to cut back, so it won't take me forever to finish my morning routines. |

| I am always trying new blushes, but it seems like nothing looks good on my red face. I would like to try the Nars Orgasm that everyone is talking about...maybe it would be more flattering. |

| I look healthier with blush, but I too rarely use it. When I do though I prefer to use a tinted gel, currently using one by Pixi, which I find gives me a far more natural finish than a powder blush. |

I don't. On a daily basis lip balm and maybe a bit of concealer. If I'm 'wearing make; up a bit of foundation, mascara and lipstick.
I did not even own a blusher till this year. The ladies at the Trish McEvoy counter keep encouraging me to wear blush and have been putting it on me for years..I finally bought one now I know how to put it on properly but I still feel really over made up even when they say it's very subtle. |

| No blush for me either. It looks fake on me. I have round, I mean round apples in my checks and a long face, blush looks over done. I apply my MMU powder with a brush. Mineral mist and a little light colored shadow and a swipe of masquera. (sp) Some lip gloss and I am out the door. |
