On a whim I ordered Covergirl Cheekers blush in Pink Candy because it was $5 on Amazon and a supposed dupe for that viral pink Dior blush. It's a pale, cool pink with a bit of a white base. I thought it wouldn't show up on me, and it swatches horribly, but oh my gosh. It somehow looks like a perfect youthful healthy neutral pink on my cheeks? Almost like a baby peach but peaches have always been terrible on me. The formula is lovely too, softer than Dior and can be built up, it looks very smooth and almost blurring. The lightness of the blush makes my face look very healthy and "plump" so I apply it to the front of my cheeks and under my eyes, and on my chin and tip of my nose. I have a graveyard of blushes that don't get used now... I might upgrade to a more elevated pale pink blush someday (looking at Patrick Ta). But right now I'm in love with this one and I finally don't need to think about blush anymore!! Just slap this one on and go about my day. Whew. Fair to medium cool olives with sallow and less-than perfect skin, seriously give this one a go!

Saie blushes are my fave liquid blush, and honestly the covergirl blushes (I think my shade is Soft Mink) are great. They’re cheap and pearly but not like shimmery. So they add a little shine but don’t highlight texture. Also neither of these are so pigmented that they’re hard to work with

Yay! I love holy grails! I actually have their dark plum blush sitting in my amazon cart. LOL. I've found I look better in DARK purple/plum blushes. Which sounds counter-intuitive since I'm like so freaking pale. But hey, it works.

If anyone knows of a more expensive dupe for Covergirl Brick Rose - I’ve been wearing it for years. My mom wore it back in the day but I want a bit of a higher end quality version of that colour
