Thanks to atoxicsparkle and her Beauty Product Junkies Blushing Bride Challenge, where you can see a slough of bellissima blushes in cream, powder and stain forms perfect for all types of brides. You gals have created a really beautiful blog entry, so I decided to share three picks from the post for all to see! Keep up the great work! To see more user favorites, click here.
flutterpie's recommendation is Bobbi Brown's Bridal Face Palette, $50. Although this is technically discontinued, there are many of them still available and brand new on eBay. I am anxious to check this out actually. In theory it sounds fabulous, but it's surprisingly gotten a lot of mixed reviews.
audreystar 's choice for the best all-time bridal blush is MAC's Powder Blush in Dessert Rose, $18. This is an awesome pick. I am a huge fan of this color - in fact my Mom has been wearing it for years. I guess Mom really does know best, huh?

Last but not least, DCStar chose Tarte Cheek Stains, $28, as her bridal blush pick. Although, I'm not a huge stain person, this is something that the natural bride might love since stains tend to give your face a warm flush without making you look overdone. I think the blushing bride color looks interesting, it's more peach than red, which I like. Hey, maybe you'll convert me DC Star!

I love MAC blushes!
1I just bought the Tarte cheekstain in Tickled (which Sephora describes as sheer peachy red). Like you, Bella, I was a little leery of the whole stain concept, but I tried it at Sephora last week and was an instant convert. It gives me a nice glowing flush that looks completely natural. It goes on pretty sheer and if you want more color, you can easily add more. And you don't really need that much for an instant flush, so what you get will probably last a good, long while.
2cool im going to try the desert rose
3I love the cheek stain concept (every time I try powder I look like I'm from the 80's!), but I use Stila color push-ups. I feel like it's a bit creamier and easier to control.
4Yaaay ladies!
5the bobbi brown bridal palette is in stock on neimanmarcus.com

everyone picks are lovely!
slowly but surely they will take them away
Bellasugar, I would like to convert you! Blushing bride actually goes on VERY sheer. Imagine it's one of those Clinique Almost Lipsticks, but for your cheeks! You just rub a little on each cheek and smooth it in a little. I love it.
7MAC has me sold. It's going to be hard for me to find something else.
8i just ordered the bobbi brown palette myself from Nordstroms online...i hope it's awesome, i never wear makeup and $50 is a lot to spend on it for just one day!
9If you plan to be photographed, I would use caution with stains and creams. It can actually make you look shiny in the pictures. Be sure to test it out first! I'm sure it looks beautiful in person, but so much can change once you try to photograph makeup.
I would try to stick with a powder blush (anything matte). The MAC blush mentioned above is AWESOME!!!
