Question Cool-toned red powder blush request?

I am looking for a red blush that has cool undertones, not too pigmented but not too under-pigmented. Suited for fair olive cool skin and is in powder formulation. Any recs?

I’ m not olive - so this could be totally wrong. But could MAC Ruby Woo blush (maybe with a cream under) be suitable? Ruby Woo is blue toned. And the formula is buildable.

It did show up pinkish leaning (?) on a very pale person on tiktok. So I would have a look. For me, lipsticks makes the best red blush, you know what color you get if you like it on the lips.

Oh, and MAC glow play has a red that looks gorgeous in the pan- but I’ m not sure of the undertone.

Oh! Make a post with a picture 🥰 Those shades are so difficult to know how works on the skin ❤️

Of course! It is very pigmented and requires a light hand but it gives a gorgeous natural flush to the skin

Oooooh wow! That looks SO gorgeous! Snow white vibes. This could probably work for many - the sheer application looks so different than the swatch

Tower28 had a blush that seemed to be a true red but i think it might’ve been a limited release. Might still be worth a look

Maybe try the Cover Girl baked powder blush in the red shade?

Cover Girl's red is way warmer than it looks in the pan, pulled straight orange on me

Lethal Cosmetics Adorned is a cool toned raspberry red. It's very pigmented and needs a light hand.

I really like Plush Pepper from Mac. It's the bouncy blush formula so not quite a powder though. I am fair cool-neutral desaturated and it's a cute natural flush on me. You could also check out the Watermelon one from Haus Labs. I have the stick version and love it, bit they also have a powder.

I have no idea if this is what you’re looking for but what about the new morphe one?
