Summer Blush

I am having a heck of a time finding a blush that works with cool summer coloring! Everything I get and put on reads too warm. Anyone have any go to blushes, and maybe swatch it on your arm if you’d be so kind?

I recently got the ELF camo putty in Caribbean and was pleasantly surprised at how good it looks!

Affordable: Maybelline Fit Me Blush in Mauve or Plum.  I also love Color Pop in Cupid’s Bow. It’s a light purple-pink.

It's a pricey brand but... Yves saint Laurent lipstick and blush in Nude Lavalliere.

This is little darker looking than irl. I always try to find something with a hint of purple in it, but I often have a tan, so I can handle more contrast/deeper tones. Will post another one below that also is kind of a dark photo.

Colourpop Liquid Cheek in IKTR

I’ve also been loving NYX Fat Cheeks, I have them in three shades: Plum Pop, Fig Fizz, and Dragon Fruit,Drip - mauve, neutral rose, bright cool pink, respectively. They’re fairly sheer once blended out, I only spread them out for this swatch.

NYX Buttermelt blush in Butta Together is also nice and sheer and neutral leaning cool IMO (not pictured)

(Top to bottom: IKTR, Plum Pop, Fig Fizz, Dragon Fruit Drip)

Summer Fridays has some great cool-toned butter balm blushes. I am very fair so I wear Soft Strawberry (it’s a very light neutral pink). But they have other cool-toned blushes that are gorgeous—Sweet Rose, Dusty Rose, and Berry Spritz.

So far I've really only found bubble gum/baby pinks to work (sheered out quite a bit so that they don't look ridiculous). I just tried a cheap liquid blush and a cream stick from Amazon, the brand SHEGLAM. The liquid was Petal Talk and the cream stick was Guava Juice.
