Sheer Joy

I realised that a couple of my blushes are very sheer. I'm not crazy about them, but still use them once a week just to mix things up a bit.

The above is Shu Uemura P Orange 53. The colour looks vibrant, but it goes on sheer and the finish is very pearlised. Sometimes I layer this colour on top of a pink one just to give it more depth.
This one is Majolica Majorca RD255. It's a beautiful, warm dusty pink. Easily buildable, it goes on sheer, and the effect is very natural as if you're glowing from within. This was a random purchase on sasa.com so it was an unexpected surprise.
I think after these blushes reach their expiration dates, I will not purchase sheer cheek colours anymore. I prefer a velvet, intense finish. Do let me know if you have blushes that you're particularly happy with!

Well girl, you've got those cheekbones for some intense blush! :] That orange shade looks so pretty, I want more Shu blushes. IMO, Shu makes the most long lasting and pigmented blushes. I have one really really red blush from Shu that I don't even dare to use, but I don't know why I bought it! Haha. I'll have to check up on the color code for you.

I imagine NARS makes some really pigmented blushes that aren't sheer.
