Readers' Favorite Blushes

Was Nars Orgasm blush no. 1? Or did another blush beat it? Find out!


A good blush gives a lit-from-within, healthy-looking glow, something we all strive for with our makeup. A bad blush gives a streaky, sparkly, clownish look -- not attractive. Luckily, TotalBeauty.com readers have tried tons of blushes, and here we share their favorites. Give them a try, they guarantee you wont look like you're auditioning for the circus.

Happy Monday!
I sure hope you had an awesome Mother's day celebration yesterday. I know I did, in fact, it was one of the best yet!

On a more personal note, I'm planning what to wear makeup wise for my birthday. Now I have several parties to go to, but I want each look to be different. I almost always wear the demi wispy lashes, but I'm thinking something bigger?
Post a look if you have one you want me to try!
