Hi, gazelle: I am older than you and have a fair complexion. I have used LG's baked blush (Golden Apricot) for a couple of years and love the way it looks. Perhaps the problem with some of the blushes you have tried are the result of the wrong brush and/or the application. I use a very light hand and a large fluffy brush and find that it looks very natural. I usually take a second look before I leave the house and occasionally add a bit more.

I am 60 yo w/white hair & light/med complexion w/pink undertone. If you are looking for a crème blush, I use MAC "Ladyblush". No shimmer but gives a dewy from within glow. If you like powder, I use Hourglass Ambient Blush in "Etheral Glow". Again, no shimmer but dewy natural look. Hope you find what you are looking for. It can be very trying.

Use your favorite lipstick. I do that sometimes. I recently found out that if I take my index finger and rub over the powdered blush and place on my cheek and just blend out and down, it really looks good. It's not too much and if you need more color you can add a little. With a brush there is less control of the amount you are putting on your face. I have different blush colors. I own Natural Beauty by Tarte and Blissful. This is Tarte's long lasting powder blush. I also own Laura Mercier's Rose Petal which is peach/pink color (gives you color but is not screaming).

Yes, application is everything....I have left the house and looked in a mirror later and almost wanted to run back to car it looked so bad!

You might try using a soft powder puff instead of a brush.

I remember my Mother's little tub of red rouge. She just used her fingers.

Nars is my favorite line for blush, and his O blush is extremely popular, but for a mature complexion it should be noted that the color contains a slight shimmer. I do not think it would be an appropriate blush to be worn alone. It looks better highlighting or enhancing another blush or bronzer. In fact, O is frequently available in a duo compact with a lovely matte light brown bronzer. I use that combination once in a while as a daytime blush option. If going with Nars I recommend Dolce Vita which is a matte light pink/rose.

I am in love with Laura Geller's gelato blush. I have the papaya and it is just the softest hint of color, or I can apply heavier by adjusting the brush for more intense color. I don't think you could go wrong with either color.

I use Laura Gellar Blush & Brighten Pink Grapefruit. It's a popular shade because it's a very natural looking color and goes with so many different skin tones. If the Q doesn't have it in stock, try her website. I use a small kabuki brush with it so I can easily build how much I want to apply.
