As you can tell from the pic, i'm pretty pale lol. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a light, natural looking peach blush that would suit my skin tone and hair colour?
Also, the cheaper the better lol, if that's possible =P
Thanks in advance x

nars blush in orgasm. it's a universally flattering shade for any skin colour, which is why it's so popular. also, if you're still unsure, you should check out this website
www.makeupalley.com it's a site where you can check out reviews on virtually every cosmetic product on the market used by everyday people. if you click on product reviews, you can search for the type of blush you are interested in and see what others have to say about it. they also give ratings for the product, which is very good if you want to know the best type of cosmetic for you and the best deals as well.
when applying, apply foundation, eye color %26amp; lipstick first. while blush is usually your 2nd-to-last makeup step (before powder), you should experiment with what works best for you. some makeup artists like to apply blush BEFORE foundation for a more 'natural' look.
throw out the freebie blush brush that comes with the blush if you get one. use a professional full brush instead (i like mac's blush brush no. 116), but don't use the same brush you use for your powder.
put the blush on your brush, tapping off any excess or put a dab of gel on your fingers. look into the mirror and smile. this helps you figure out where the 'apple' of your cheek is.
since you want a healthy flush, it's best to apply blush only to apples of your cheeks. keep color light and blended. if you're using gel or cream, dab it on with your middle finger, then blend with your ring and middle finger. the clean finger will pick up any excess blush.
if you've gone a bit too heavy on the powder blush, a bit of translucent powder over it will calm it down. for cream blush, blot the color off with a tissue. since gel and liquid blush 'stain' the cheeks, the only way to lighten them is it wash your face, moisturize and reapply your makeup, this time more sparingly.
then finish your look with a sweep of translucent powder and your done!
hope this helps

Clinique has a blush called 'nude nude' that i use because i'm quite pale myself. its mor brown then peach but on the skin it looks great! it's a little more than like a wal-mart but its worth it. it also lasts a looong time. i've had mine for 3 years and i use it everyday.
I actually think you would look better with a shimmery pink, it will go well with your skin tone and your hair color. Try ';Pinksicle'; by FLIRT! It's only $10 at Kohl's. I have so many blush compacts from there!
Revlon blushes from the drugstore, a CVS or RiteAid have many pink/peach blushes to choose from. It's around $6 per blush.
