Erin's Favorite Blushes and How to Apply Cream Blush!

[ilovemeu21]

can you please tell me what kind of brush you used the short handled one or what you recomend for mac concealer... I use it on a very large area of my face btw

[healthandbeauty12]

You have so much product!!! and that first one makes ur skin look amazing!! but it WOULD not do the same for me... thanks for the vids! helpful!!!

[dish9901]

The NARS pink blush you mentioned was not listed as a blush on the website; does it go by a different name now. They still have Taj mahal. My skin color is like yours with a yellow undertone; would both colors work. I am new to using make up. Thanks:)

[StarrQuality1]

Question: Should I set my foundation before or after the cream blush? I tried cream blush some while ago and I hated it. I think it's because I had already set my liquid foundation with a powder. You are awsome so your answers and opinions really count!.....

[SuaVonistaStylez]

I would love for you 2 re-vist ur favorite blushes!!! plz!!!

[scandalousbeauty]

@SuaVonistaStylez I really need to, you're right!

[uggabubba97]

[ilov3MAC]

i wish i had your number so i can call you when i'm at sephora or the mac counter. i'm going now and i know i'm going to have a hard time picking a blush. i know my profile pic looks light (i protograph light) but i'm like 2 or 3 shades darker than you with a orangy kind of undertone. found an awesome foundation (mac NW47 & HD 180) but i'm having a really hard time with a nice blush and bronzer. i have golden dust tooo glitery. please help me!

[saradoubleu]

TAJ MAHAL!!!

grrrrllllll I'm so mad i didn't listen to you sooner

[scandalousbeauty]

LOL!

[astewle]

Hey Erin, Love the video! I had a quick question. I always had an interest in cream blushes but was deterred after Bobbi Brown's new book said cream blush is best for people with relatively few blemishes. Would cream blush add more attention to flaws than powder blush?

[scandalousbeauty]

Yeah, I can see how that would make sense.

[bellathequeen]

FACE STOCKHOLM is from sweden. I'm from sweden to! :)

You're talanted!

[SPARKWISDOM]

I love blush! Color looks so beautiful on you!

[raspcherryx3]

I just did the blush tag -check it out!

[hodasulub]

You showed alot of beautiful blushes and I'm definitly into blushes, but one of them in particular caught me eye (and another viewer...lol). Where can i too find the Emanuel Ungaro crushed?.....i thought it looked gorgeous on you.

[scandalousbeauty]

It's pretty old so you might have to google the "Gone but Not Forgotten" program from Estee Lauder. They can find it for you!

[anniebelle89]

you are so pretty, i love the look of the ungaro you're wearing.

[late701302]

I followed your recommendation and got Becca's Lotus and Dahlia, Nars Taj Majal and Exhibit A and Mac's Azalea...I absolutely loooooveeeeeeeeeee everyone of these blushes....Thank you for sharing this information with us!

[scandalousbeauty]

YAY! So glad you love them all!!! They are classics!

[danivilledaniville]

im soo into the dewy look and thats why i stopped using powder blush n switched to cream blushes i just got one from mac the other day but im definatly gonna buy more!

[scandalousbeauty]

Yep, they are addicting!

[lissia1234]

im a lightskin girl wich color u should recommended?? he'S tajmahal by nars will be nice?? :)

nice video and u lookin fab!!xoxox

[scandalousbeauty]

Taj Mahal will look great on you! And every other blush that I mentioned.

[msanjoseph]

can you tell me your favoreite blushes

[buxomchic22]

Hey Erin! I love all your vids, I have a quick question...I am looking for a nice drug store blush that is natural and orangeyish, to give me a golden glow. I plan to try all your favorite blushes when I can afford it. But for now I am desperate for a substitute. I'd really appreciate you advice. btw I think that I am a very similar skin shade as you. Thanks so much! Right now the only blush I use a an annoying brick color.

[KellyGreene08]

Pardon me for butting in but.....

Black Radiance has a natural orangy matte blush called "Soft Honey". I got mines from walgreens But you can get it from any store that sells black radiance products.

[scandalousbeauty]

I'll check it out!

[JazzyJ251987]

You should get "Copper" by NYX. You can get it from your local Harmon's discount. Its like 6 bucks, and it's really close to Taj Mahal (NARS). I was mad cause I got it a few days ago, and I'm like...I could've just gotten this instead of spending 25 bucks for NARS! Hope that helps (I'm a NW45 in MAC)

[scandalousbeauty]

Hmm, I don't know of any. Did you ever find one?

[mischee15]

Erin can you please tell where or how I can go about finding Emanuel Ungaro Crushed

Bougainvillea, I don't think MAC carries it anymore. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

[Csmart01]

LOL you said the mineralized blush was the business. Thats how I feel about Love Joy by MAC. Great vid, thanks for the info. 5 *'s!

[hersheykiss964]

would you suggest Nars orgasm for darker skin tones?

[PbigPlow]

i love the nars blushes!!

exhibit a = love!! but since im a little lighter, around nc35 or so, i have so much trouble working taj mahal, it does look good but takes a LOT of work!

[nismo9688]

Hi, I just started watching your videos because julieg713 recommended you to her viewers... anyways i was wondering; i don't know if you have a video up already but maybe if you can do a video on bronzers and blush for latin skin type

[tlbglover]

Need some clarity.... the MAC blush you should start off with are you saying brazen or raisin?

[scandalousbeauty]

It's called Raizin!

[L0viieL]

I dont know much about blushes and brozner..when you were talking about copper tone and gingerly and blushbaby..were you just talking about MAC makeup only ??? or i can find that in a department store like at walgreens or something. thankss! i love your videoss :]]

[scandalousbeauty]

Yep they are all MAC

[pr1mabella]

u are SO informative. i learn so much from your videos.

[scandalousbeauty]

Thanks babe

[DYLAN3264]

[CandeeNova]

[ilovemakeup92]

[remnant72]

You and breezy made me buy Nars Taj Mahal and I'm so grateful...Thank you

[ameritrini]

[scandalousbeauty]

[ameritrini]

Just subscribed and can I tell you how I LOVE that you say clear girls!!!! LMAO!!!

[pretroleumjellay]

I'm still on a search for the PERFECT blush. I probably need that makeup forever foundation to cover up my blemishes first. :P thanks ma'am.

[scandalousbeauty]

Girl I named like 15 in this video! You can wear any of them that I talked about.  But Nars Taj Mahal is my fave for ALL brown skins!

[aquariusgirl1984]

great video. I am trying out new blushes so this helps me out alot!

[scandalousbeauty]

Great!

[SUBLIME6976]

Thank you so much for your videos they are very helpful!

[scandalousbeauty]

No prob!!!!!!!!!!

[memyselfi2002002]

[scandalousbeauty]

Thanks!

[NuB82]

Girlfriend! Girlfriend!!!

You are sooooo fluent (knowledgeable) in your videos! I call them testimonies! And I'm loving it! Thanks a mil!

!peace N salutations!

[scandalousbeauty]

Thank you!

[jazmissionary]

Becca really doesn't get the love it deserves. I used to use the concealer to cover my hyperpigmentation. I've graduated to mineral makeup and I'm actually a fan of some of the Jane Iredale products. But yea, thanks for the Becca shout out. Can't believe Sephora phased them out.

[scandalousbeauty]

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SongsfromtheEpilogue]

lmao love child!!! i bought cactus flower and crazed from nars just from your recommendations from the 'Nars,Nars,Nars' video. Thank you!

[scandalousbeauty]

Yay! Great!

[esperanza408]

I LOVE YOUR BLUSH COLLECTION I'M SO JEALOUS!!! :p

[efuhktual]

[ladyvee00]

[korel001]

[pilo242589]

girl you gat the most beauiful skin ever

lucky u

[msfranklin1959]

I have viewed a couple of other tut. and they both had said that the blushes do not show up very well on african american skin. I was thinking about getting the palette, but I'm not going to order it if won't work. I appreciate your opinion. I'm a NC50

[jennifer354]

Mac carries a nice blush called fever. I tried it last week and it shows up just fine.

[msfranklin1959]

Jennifer354 (?) I was asking about the Coastal Scents blush palette, not MAC, I already have several MAC blushes.

[1LADYNITA]

I really LOVE taj Mahal.....

[lovemuffin10101]

ok seriously i need metal rock!!!!! i cant take it it looks like what i have been searching for forever!!!

scandulous said the nars eye metalic cream in bonze is a good replacement? is this true i would love for you to do a review on that

[mrsseidman02]

girl, i need to know. is Nars Mata Hari by Nars a good color for black girls to try? I'm going to see my boyfriend next week and i want a romantic girly look. so i thought that baby pink blush would be a nice look. what are your thoughts?

[heartbent]

OK I keep going to Sephora, stand in front of of the NARS counter and I cannot get myself to buy Exhibit A! I know! I need to get over it but AAAUGH it is SO orange!

and your review of the metal rock Skin finish is cracking me up!

[primadonnacami]

lol clear girls?

[clr33o]

I started wearing makeup when I watch you with makeup forever you make it so easy girl you know you stuff love you for my HD face thank you

[DancetotheMusicxxx]

Your earrings are amazingly beautiful. Give them to me lol Where did you buy them

[scandalousbeauty]

Forever 21 I think! But they broke a few weeks ago!

[DancetotheMusicxxx]

Ive learned so much from make up gurus on here. I had previously though blush always had to be pink

[thisblackgirl]

super cute.. i love it!

[GINGIN501]

Also, I love your earrings!!! I have those same earrings in Silver and Gold. :)

[GINGIN501]

I bought NARS Taj Mahal because you spoke so highly about it! I love it!!! I started to buy Crazed, but the Taos look better on my skin. Thanks!

[1311tanyav]

what MAC blushes w0uld y0u rec0mmend f0r an indian? thank u :D

[scandalousbeauty]

I can't choose! But the blushes that I listed here should work well for you too!

[knzay]

i LOLed at the "crushed...i don't even know what that says"

<3

[scandalousbeauty]

lol...I need someone to pronounce that one for me!

[roseeleven]

Hey! I was referring to the MAC blushes. Dont remember the colors exactly. Are the MAC blushes different prices?

[VibrantColorZ]

no!

[qtpielondon]

thanks so much for this, i was listening to your video while i was at work lol! and tried some in my lunch hour! i like exhibit A, raisin, dollymix, plum foolery, coppertone,and ambering rose so far. it's really given me the confidence to try out colours i never would have gone near, i always usually go for a dusky pink! so i was out of my comfort zone! but i learnt that just cos it looks bright it doesnt necessarily look like that on the skin.

[LyricalDiva83]

OMG...thank you so much for this, I have been on a quest for good blush, I will be taking ALL of your recommendations!

[msphelps2]

I love the fact that your recommedations are always on point!!! I went to the mall today and the CCO had Ablaze-I got it!!!!

[dominichulinda]

Wow!! You wasnt lying you are a big fan of blushes like I am ...muah!! loved the video and how you always explain whats good ..etc!!..I want ablaze now :( lmao

def. trying the becca line :), because of you :) <3333

[DRBrooklyn730]

yay blush tag! i have been blush crazy lately. i think i'm going to check out that ungaro cream color base.

[scandalousbeauty]

OMG you would rock the hell out of that color!!

[nugroth]

I know you're the make-up gal but girrrrrrrrrrl, please post more hair vids cuz your hair is always so fierce!!!! I need some techniques/ideas so if you could tell me how you create your lovely fros i.e. 10/4,and other great looks, I'd so appreciate it. Much love sistah!

[tarotqueen]

Raizin was my first MAC blush, aww yay! Hehe <333

Gosh, could you BE any cooler?

[FrannieReiner]

I love your vids but no offense, I don't like the 1st blush on you.

[scandalousbeauty]

No offense taken!

[caramelxxx]

What no is the brush you're using pls?

I fancy using something other than my MAC 187 for creme blushes. I've also just spent the past 10 mins searching for Becca's Dahlia on a UK site to purchae ..nada! Gonna buy it when I'm bk in NY at xmas.

That Emanuel Ungaro one is def on my "to buy" list too. I pretty much own most of the other ones you've recc'ed!

Thanks hon x

[cowens100]

LOVE your earrings!

[roseeleven]

Hi Gurrrl! I just want you to know that my mom and i love you!!!! Question: how much are the blushes?

[scandalousbeauty]

Tell mama I say HEY!! Which blushes were you referring to?

[cocodivatime]

Hi. I have a question. Does the Emanuel Ungaro pink blush create the same look at NARS cactus flower? Or are they different?

Thanks

[scandalousbeauty]

Nope! Ungaro is more of a fuchsia stain, the Cactus Flower is a goldy pink shimmery look. I prefer the look of the Ungaro stain...it's fabulous.

[cocodivatime]

OK thanks. I must get the Ungaro then. I wore Cactus Flower yesterday and loved it..but if Ungaro is better, I've gotta get it!!!!!!!!!!

[scandalousbeauty]

Yes! It's basically a stain, it looks great on the lips, you can definitely tell it's a look that models rock during fashion week!

[LaureLLb]

I love those earrings. Where did you get those?

[scandalousbeauty]

Hmmm...I think I got them from a booth at the AFRAM here in Baltimore. If not, they are from Forever 21. lol

[Cocoa316]

Erin- girl how to bang out these vids with school? Im so behind in school right now. So thanks for keeping them coming. I found a love for Emote,flirt and tease and some really dark redish color ( its upstairs) I gave it to my mom before i tried it with a BB look on MJB. I also have a new love for the beauty powders as highlights on my cheeks and eyes! ( thanks to johnny Lavoy)

[Cocoa316]

that should say -- how do you bang out these vids...

[scandalousbeauty]

I have NO idea...I probably devote too much time to this, when I should be concentrating on school : / Hmmm, how do you wear Emote? I'd love suggestions b/c I've never worn it, it's in my kit though.

[qtpielondon]

i have becca blush in dahlia. It's not that easy to find in London, but its really nice, gives that look like you've just come in from the cold!And just a nice change from all the pinky blushers. it's quite strong though so a little goes a long way init!

[scandalousbeauty]

Very true! Hmm, for some reason I didn't think it would be so difficult to find Becca products in London! But yes, it's a beautiful color!

[qtpielondon]

i've just looked at their website and they seem to be available in more places now, but they should open up shops like MAC, and they should definately be in Selfridges! That is THE make up hall in London! When are you coming over to London Erin? You should do a video over here!!!

[scandalousbeauty]

I wish I could!!! I can't even imagine how much a plane ticket to London would be!!!

[rieka0101]

Hi Erin I wanted to know if you could show how you do the black liner(bottom lash line) because your line always look so smooth I tried it and I can't get it.

[scandalousbeauty]

I do need to do a liner video soon....

[mzclassy18]

i got breezy Saturday and i love love love it!!! I didn't know you used that blush.

[scandalousbeauty]

Yay! I haven't used it in a while but I do own it!

[lisalatrice11]

I totally agree with the skinfinish (metal rock) they really should make perm. colors for the darker skin tones MAC betta stop playn and cater to some of us!

[scandalousbeauty]

EXACTLY!

[ooglegail]

Best blush tag, you are a fount of knowledge

[scandalousbeauty]

Thanks mama!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DaZzDiva]

Erin... U are so wonderful... Thank You for doing what you do.... No1 does it better!

I help out when they have events, I'm not on their permanent staff!

[Jubilee411]

Love, Love, Love Taj Mahal Blush by NARS

[j4lyphe]

hey wat r u wearing on your lips? Also do u think the HD Powder is better than the MAC invisible powder (I wanna get a loose translucent) and are they good for oily skin. What do u think about the Petticoat skinfinish? I like it better than the So Ceylon one....Sorry so many questions but Great blush video:)

[wellhelllooo]

I'm glad you did this video. I was just about to request you do a blush video because I want to get into wearing it. We're about the same complexion so I'm going to look in the colors you mentioned. Thanks, girl!

[scandalousbeauty]

No prob!

[SomosDePapel]

I just wanted to say I love your videos...hmmm maybe I said that once before but anyway...lol...Have you tried Stila Convertible Color? If so, what did you think about those? tia :)

[scandalousbeauty]

LOL, Thanks! I've tried one but it didn't make a huge impact on my life or anything. Maybe I'll revisit them.

[kokofemme]

Now see...there u go again! Got me writing down er'thing I DON'T have already that you've recommended! I value your opinion(s) dearly b/c you have NEVER steered me wrong on colors gurl!! Smoochez, lub ya!

[wamacgut5]

Erin I have a question about Mac foundation...what's the difference between NW45 and NC45?

[scandalousbeauty]

Hey! Check out my common misconceptions for Black Women video, I explain it thoroughly there. It's basically about undertones. I hope this helps!

[kennak23]

[bohemiandiva]

Your twists are getting longer! Yay! You are gorgeous! Taj Mahal is my FAVORITE of all time! Exhibit A is the BOMB!

[Nzurilisha]

LOVE your brows!!!!!!!!!

[SexyMel125]

Awesome review Erin! Metal Rock Skinfinish is that DEAL!! MAC needs to definetely get it together and bring it back for us "brown girls". I was lucky enough to have picked it up a few years ago. I am going to pick up the Ungaro blush this week. I love that dewy look. Thanks for all your tips.

[hille02]

lol...I bought crazed after watching one of your other nars  videos and I LOVE it.....love your vids...take care :)

[MakeupPrince]

[Cocoa316]

Thanks you give me the best tips!

[myenmoni]

Ive been looking for that Ungaro blush everywhere it always sells out...I love those earrings girl!!! Thanx

[scandalousbeauty]

LMAO at skirt...I can hear you making the noise!! That's hilarious. But yep, those colors will look great on you!

[enflmdphnx]

"I don't know what the color is!" Lmao! Love the video as usual <3

[XcuteC]

Hi! :D Love your video! :D I will be picking up some of the blushes you menchined!

So, I've noticed you had the holiday MAC brush set. with the gold handles. I was wondering if the brushes are the same texture as the full size brushes at MAC? Cuz the holiday brushes this year (with the red handles) I noticed that the texture of the brushes aern't the same and not as soft. Is it the same with the gold handles ones??

:)

[scandalousbeauty]

No, the brush set brushes aren't the same as the regular brushes. The regular brushes are hand made, while the holiday brushes are machine made. But the brushes from last year and this year are basically the same.

[enflmdphnx]

"I don't even know what that says!"

Your videos always crack me up.

[cosmeticcutie]

Great video!!! I am just getting into blushes and have no clue what I am doing, or what colors to use. I'm just using trial and error. Your video really helped.

Thanks a bunch

[blackrraine]

[TrayTrayBaby]

Hello gorgeous, what are your thoughts about the other mineralized skin products for NW 45's (i.e. petticoat, so ceylon, etc.) Thanks

[scandalousbeauty]

They can be worn, but to me, they aren't essential.

[hkitty383]

love u

[sithwinch]

love your vids girl, you know I do but I hate when they cut off just as you're getting to the really good stuff. informative as always, your friend, A.

[2cute4u2003]

[05KIKA14]
