My cheek stain is running out, and I'd like to try something different!

I wanted to get a blush that had a decent staying power, unlike my Sephora compact powder blush does, but that wouldn't get my face oily... I'm fair skinned, so I wanted something natural between pink and peach!

What do you recommend? ^^

Hi.. I like Benetint by Benefit and the Tarte stains are supposed to be good. The benetint has lasted me 1 1/2 years and I still have 1/4 left.

The Tarte cheek stains are good, but they can also be sticky and look a bit much if you don't pick the right shade. Flush is great for that natural look you get after you've been running (or doing other things...) I love the idea of Benetint and always have fun using it, but I always feel like I'm a doll with painted circles on my cheeks since it dries so damned fast!

You could always consider a great powder blush if you're looking for staying power and have oily skin. Have you tried Benefit Dandelion or NARS Orgasm? I lurve.

Stila gel cheek color in pink flush. Because its a gel you can add more for more dramatic color, but a little bit gives a very subtle "flush" and highlights my cheekbones nicely.

im super pale, and i love a blush you have to question the decency of, so i always go for hot, racy pinks and gilded afterglow type finishes.

I personally LOVE the Jane Be Pure Mineral Pillow Blush in Outspoken Pink. The color is soft and the blush blends really well. It's a matte blush though - if you're looking for one with shimmer, Jane makes a similar blush in a crushed powder that has a bit of shimmer :o)
