The battle of the peach blush!
I have two peach powder blushes that are almost identical.. One is Nars "Gina" and the other is Illamasqua "Lover". I have become rather obsessed with peach lately as it gives a lovely natural flushed finish.
On closer inspection, Nars "Gina" is a orange peach. Illamasqua "Lover" has a more sugar toned pastel hue to it..
Both "Lover" and "Gina" can achieve this look.

Both blushes are matt and equally as pigmented, I cannot fault either of them. Nars blushes are £18.50 and Illamasqua blushes are £16, both blushes have 4.5gms in them. They are expensive, but you get so much product and you only need a little as the colour is so pigmented, so I know they will last me forever. Below are some swatches.
Eva Mendez demonstrates perfectly how to wear peach cheeks..

Anybody can wear peach on their cheeks, it really compliments and brightens the face... I love to wear it in the summer, I think it makes a fresh change from pink, What do you think?

@rebecca ur makeup looked amazing that day, I've stopped using my pinks fir now.. I'm on a peach rush :) x
I've been coveting Gina for a long time now, last time I was at the NARS counter, I restricted myself to only one blush, there was a tie between Gina, Gilda and Amour, Amour won out.
Ilamasqua looks gorgeous too!
I'm usually wary of peach on myself but have been using MAC Style Warriors Eversun--which is of the peachy family--lately. :)
P.S Hope you're feeling brighter. Your tweets were worrying me yesterday xx

I am looking forward to your full reviews on the Illamasqua bits and how your getting on with them! :) x
Love it

Great blushes there! ;)) xx
And, i'm still sticking to my word - any skintone can pull off peach nlush, just try it!
xx
i was wondering if you had a recommendation for me??
is the nars one in this post too bright for pale skin??
but on a total 'nother note: what do you think she has on her lips?
it compliments the blusher so well.. love this look!
@AbbieandBrian well, if you use a light hand u can get a sheer wash of colour, and intensify the colour by building it up, my best advice to you would be to go to a Nars counter and swatch all the colours yourself, Orgasm is a peachy pink and i think definately lives up to the hype.
@Happiness Sparkles i know, the colour of the lips looks great, Nars Casablanca is quite similar...
@Patricia trust you to notice the ring lol, xx
no illamasqua in the US so I'll have to check out something similar, but I'm on the quest! xx
