My blush leather jacket is quite peachy and I think pretty saturated, so I think it's a fine line between getting enough contrast to my skin.</p> <p>I ordered some blush fabric for a draped trench a while back and although I did see a sample of it, when the length arrived all I could think of was that it seemed a bit too clear in tone and might look a tad too icy. I'm hoping it'll work... if not...another wasted length of fabric :(</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades/page/2#post-1713276 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 13:45:03 +0000 kkards 1713276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh i'm so confused.....i always have issues with where one color stops and another starts....and warm vs cool, saturated vs ....i don't even know what the opposite of saturated is.....off to re-read to see if i can make sense of this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades/page/2#post-1713270 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 13:21:33 +0000 Runs With Scissors 1713270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of blush but I have no idea what shade I should be wearing. &nbsp;I was intrigued by the idea of a blush blazer for Spring, but after trying a couple only to have them look terrible on me, I gave up. &nbsp;My feeling is that shades with "icy" or "muddy" descriptors aren't good directions for me, but I don't know where to look instead. &nbsp;I guess the opposites are "warm" and "saturated" ... but is that still blush? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades/page/2#post-1713263 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 13:02:17 +0000 Colette 1713263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Learning a lot about blush here. I think my preference is the ice pink blush tone but I definitely need to experiment with blush because I love the look with black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades/page/2#post-1713243 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 11:33:59 +0000 Helen11 1713243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a try at the blush and black, too. Keeping it real and very casual! I will wear it again and would like to try some lighter accessories with it.<br /> I would just call this pale pink. It helps me a bit to look for 'warm, clear and light ' colours to suit me. But like Maneera I can't recognise warm or cool tones well. I'm not colour blind, AFAIK. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades/page/2#post-1713217 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 10:21:38 +0000 Summer 1713217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My version would be pink-toned, but I usually shy away from anything described as blush because I find it too pale. &nbsp; I <i>could</i> find ways to wear it - probably in small doses away from my face - but it's not really a shade that appeals to me very much. I prefer something with a little more colour, such as rose.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades/page/2#post-1713200 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 08:39:53 +0000 Staysfit 1713200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect! I didn't think I wore blush, but I guess I do because I wear ice pink! I learn something new every day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1713131 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 02:46:03 +0000 Anonymous 1713131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the midtone and peachy blushes. I prefer that blush pants or jeans not be light as then they look too much like my skin; like I forgot to wear bottoms!<br /> My favorite blush tone is the color of the jacket that you have in Finds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1713117 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 01:59:34 +0000 Momo 1713117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great! I a, going to keep my eye out for a blush top that suits me. I do think it is such a pretty combo with the black and white, thank you Angie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1713116 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 01:57:26 +0000 Peri 1713116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lilac?! No way! There isn't a drop of purple in there!&nbsp;</p> <p>Color is so confusing. Is it words and definitions, or do we actually see different shades?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1713113 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 01:54:41 +0000 Angie 1713113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Peri, your rose looks lilac to my eye!&nbsp;</p> <p>Barbara, those more saturated pastels are called mid-tones. I bet you look great in those too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Staysfit and Vicki, I'm thinking ice pink.&nbsp;</p> <p>Windchime and Beth Ann, go for it. Try a cooler shade of blush.&nbsp;</p> <p>Aida, high five as always.&nbsp;</p> <p>Teodora, great idea. Your pastel outfits are fabulous.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1713091 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 01:06:56 +0000 Peri 1713091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So Angie, where do you draw the line? At what point does blush become pink? I much prefer the shade in your rocks picture over any of the shades in the clothing examples. My favorite shade of pastel pink...exactly the color of the rose beside my name! But I wouldn't refer to that as blush, just pink. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1713062 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 00:02:03 +0000 Staysfit 1713062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no clue what my shade of blush would be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1713061 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 00:01:15 +0000 Barbara Diane 1713061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After the black and pastel post I looked at my wardrobe. Even including my lifetime wardrobe I realized that what I consider pastels are really probably closer to medium saturated. Just much less saturated than what I normally wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1713058 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 23:58:11 +0000 Barbara Diane 1713058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Icy blush would definitely work better on me. The one shirt I own I thought might fit this is a print, and I think the other colors made it work, even though it is a warm color. I like that with this clarification I understand blush a lot more. Now I know I don't like the "muddy" tones on me. Actually, no muddy tones in any color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1713051 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 23:37:38 +0000 Windchime 1713051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you posted this, Angie! After reading today's blog post, I assumed I wouldn't be able to wear the blush/black ensemble, much as I admire it. But I'm pretty sure I can wear icy pink. I used to wear soft pink years (decades!) ago, when my hair was dark brown and my complexion was lighter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1713050 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 23:34:30 +0000 Beth Ann 1713050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm....... in that case.........</p> <p>I am interested in lightening my palette a bit for Fall/Winter. &nbsp;Maybe a blush that works with my burgundy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1713020 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 22:38:04 +0000 Vicki 1713020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From blush to butt-vest; I'm chuckling and must do a search to refine my knowledge here.</p> <p>As for the wearing of blush, I have a blush blouse that was on the chopping block and I may have to take a closer look. &nbsp;It's pretty and has enough of a hint of color to not wash me out. &nbsp;I want a neutral blush that isn't too pink or too peachy, if that's possible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1712987 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 21:04:39 +0000 Aida 1712987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES I agree! I tend to prefer white-based blush tones with a lot of color saturation skewing warm peachy, even if they're pink blushes. And like you I feel like they work better for me <i>because</i> of the peaches-and-cream sort of complexion!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1712986 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 21:04:06 +0000 Teodora 1712986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lot of people mentioned that the color does not go with their skin tone. In those cases, I try to get bottoms (vs. tops) in those colors even if the color does not suit me. I like pairing blush and light pink with pastels and I think pastels suit me while pink not as much. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1712976 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 20:46:30 +0000 Angie 1712976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tex, ice pink is MUCH lighter. Like the jacket that Diana is wearing in her thread. See below - the lighter shades. I bet it would gorgeous on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Wooohoo, Maneera.&nbsp;</p> <p>Greyscale, EXACTLY. Blush can become anything you want it to be.&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz, I am WAITING to see you in blush, black, silver and white. I still have the same DVF top - a perfect fit with skirts - and am also hoping you will revisit the butt-vest. (I'm not joking).</p> <p>Tulle, J.Crew does a great job of ice pink in the Winter time. Boden too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1712946 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 19:38:59 +0000 texstyle 1712946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - I really meant I have always been attracted to the dustier shades and thought they worked better, but I really think I have been wrong about that and that maybe I just need to try other blush options and see if I can find the right one. Ice pink would be more like a neon pink? Like these? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1712943 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 19:26:13 +0000 DonnaF 1712943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually feel that most blush tones I see won't work with my skin color.&nbsp; However, the Topshop dress below just showed up on the Nordstrom web site and looks a bit deeper than most blushes.&nbsp; The low price point, however, makes me wonder if it would reveal every little lump, bump and panty and bra line even with a size up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1712912 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 18:09:20 +0000 Suz 1712912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that top, Greyscale. Thanks for the brand intro. </p> <p>I look best in pinker blush tones but still have an NAS DVF sweater in peachy blush, black, and white. The other tones make it surprisingly wearable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1712907 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 18:02:50 +0000 Greyscale 1712907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The day you posted your first blog post about blush, Oak (one of my favorite edgy brands) released a line of basic tops in blush to go along with their usual black and white. It reinforced the idea that blush can look edgy or pretty or refined or whatever you want, in different contexts. I have no idea if their color is too peachy for me -- I have to go try on a few different pinks to get a sense for it, since it's new for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1712906 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 18:00:52 +0000 Maneera 1712906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie. I'll def wear it with black. Ordered! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1712902 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 17:55:35 +0000 tulle 1712902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find that peachier blush shades are easier to locate than the cool light pinks, maybe because so many women have rejected "baby" pastels as unsophisticated, but think of nude blush as a neutral.&nbsp; I always keep an eye out for cool pink items--tops especially--and when I see them, I jump! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1712865 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 16:35:01 +0000 Angie 1712865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maneera, that top is absolutely going to work for you. Wear it with black&nbsp;</p> <p>Tanya, you wear icy blush with the best of them. YES. My CM top is a peachy blush - and warmer than the old Zara top we have (which is also quite warm, actually).&nbsp;</p> <p>Aviah, go for it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ann, exactly.&nbsp;</p> <p>Diana, you wear ice blush beautifully, as we can all see in your forum thread.&nbsp;</p> <p>Tex, Diana said that the muddier shades (the warmer ones) do not work for her. But they work for you? I can imagine an ice pink working for you since you wear a lot of blue.</p> <p>Unfrumped, you look great in mauve, but it is not blush!&nbsp; </p> <p>And actually, peachy blush works well for me BECAUSE it is close to the colour of my peaches &amp; cream skin tone. Interesting!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-comes-in-many-shades#post-1712862 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 16:31:04 +0000 Muffin 1712862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok point taken. I think I just need to do some work here and actually start looking before I just write it off. Maybe an adjustment with the makeup will help as well. </p>
