Color-wise, Nars shades still stand out in my mind for their uniqueness (I have the previous formulation.)

I’ve been trying some of Vieve’s more recently too.

I have dehydrated combo skin so sometimes powder blushes look less natural on me but a light facial mist after would do the trick. You can’t beat the longevity of powder blush!

So many of my faves here!! I also love the Clinique cheek pops, such a blurring formula 🥰

It's been awhile since I've used those! I need to take them back out

Yes!! This helped me so much. In addition to many of the blushes you mentioned that I have and love, I also love the RMS blushes and the Armani powder blush.

But I have to admit in addition to enjoying my current powdered blushes, I put a Nabla blush in Satisfaction in an Ulta cart. I haven’t heard much it before, but your swatches and description sold me!

I know people are fed up with NARS and their constant orgasm-ification of it all but they consistently hold up for me. I'm more of a face palette girly so those are the blushes from them I've been reaching for but this is a good reminder to find my mini Orgasm blush. It's so cute, like the size of a coin (which is yes a lil bogus but also stop omg so adorbs).

I also have oily skin, but love the ease and look of cream or liquid blushes--even if I usually end up looking like a greaseball by the end of the day. I've been trying to find some powder blushes that excite me and I want to use and recently purchased the Makeup by Mario Matte powder blush, which I've really enjoyed playing around with.

Definitely want to try some of the ones you suggest here, too!
