| I have dark skin and I want natural blush look. The light colors do not show up very well on me or either they look just powdery. The dark colors are unnatural looking. Now I am thinking to try a cheek stain! Please tell me brand and color that you have used and like in either cream blush or cheek stain! |

| The Napolian Perdis cheek stains are great - I have used them when I'm tanned and the colours are great with olive skins. I also like the cream bluss in Orgasm by Nars. I'm from Aus so not sure if you can get all these....... |

| My vote goes to Benefit Posietint. Works well on all skin types. |

I'll second the benefit posietint (or the original if you can't get the posie version)
It's pretty buildable and lasts all day. |

How dark is dark? I think Julie Hewett's Bette or Peachie cheekie cream blushes would be great on olive to light tan skin, and for a cooler look, Vampie would be lovely. My African American colleague has been totally won over to the Cheekies--even though I am ghostly pale, we can agree that most of them work for both of us.
Though I don't use cool tones like Rosie or Vampie and she finds Destiny too sheer to work... |

| My skin tone is more olive to medium tan! When I blush naturally it is pink of course but most pink blushes look fake on me. Also, I have dry skin so I thought maybe a cream or tint might work better. The Benefit posietint sounds beautiful but it seems like it is made more for fair complexions. Julie Hewett's cream blush sounds interesting. |

I think I would be inclined to get a warm slightly tawny pink with your coloring. Natural is, well, natural; destiny is a bit pinker but also a bit sheerer; peachie is between salmon pink and coral, and bette is more of a terra cotta with a very slight gold toned shimmer. (The shimmer is more noticeable on the lips than on the cheeks, actually.)
I'd go with Peachie if you wanted to try just one. |

I personally love Maybelline dream mousse blush. I use Pink Frosting and a pal of mine with olive skin (she's Israeli) uses the bronzer.

Take a peek! Other than that I think MAC salespeople would be happy to find you a suitable blush, the have a great range of blushes! |

NARS Multiple is great for dry skin.  |

| I've been using c ream blushes for many years as I find the powder ones drying. My faves are By Terry, Nars and Laura Mercier. They suit my fair-medium skin but I'm not sure about darker skin. I know that Mac makes cream blushes that are too strong for my skin, so maybe they would suit a darker skin. I found it was simply a matter of trial and error to find ones I was happy with. |

Benefit's Benetint all the way!!! Just make sure you dot and dab it in quickly and you can always dot again for more even and fuller coverage.  |

I like nars.
It's powder blush is very famous, but the cream blush, especially the stick blush, are easier to be used. No brush is needed, only finger is enough. |

| I am very strongly thinking about purchasing Nars Multiple. It comes in a small size trio! I like it because it is a cream, and the colors can be used for the eyes in case it does not work out as a blush. |
