Laura Geller's Ethereal Rose. It's a pale pink.

Love this one, too! Also Lancôme's la roseraie. Bobbi Brown has a creme shadow in pale pink, which I find very nice, but you need to use a light hand in applying. I really like light pinks rather than peaches for blush and lip gloss.

Re: Your Favorite Palest Blush

I don't care to wear any blush that's too pale, it washes me out or looks like I'm not wearing any at all. My complexion is light/medium and I have brown hair and brown eyes.

One of my favorite blushes isn't very expensive, it's Babydoll by Essence, it's a peachy pink shade of powder blush and it costs about $4 CDN. It's at Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada and I've seen it on the ULTA website too.

Benefit Hervana - I think it's supposed to be a highlighter but plenty of fair skinned beauties use it as a blush. It's gorgeous.

The new Hourglass blush is also beautiful but if you are fair you need to apply with a very light hand.

Sorry Harpa, Obviously I didn't read beyond your original question. My suggestion isn't very helpful.

I'm a bit too dark for it to show up on me, but agree Etheral Rose by Laura Geller is beautiful.

I've also used lipstick... as suggested.

I'm with makeup artists who feel that the most natural, youthful flush comes from the brightest pinks (put on very lightly, of course). I love Bobbi Brown Peony and MAC Pink Swoon. Use a duo fiber or fan brush for light application. Another benefit- the blush lasts forever because you use so little and never have to worry about building color.

Oh so pretty! I'm just a little more medium for these to show up, but they look great for light or fair skin!! {#emotions_dlg.wub} My fave is light, but it manages to show up as a true powder pink.. again D'C'ed so hardly worth mentioning.

Thanks for posting this!

Nars The Matte Multiple in "Anguilla" is so beautiful. It's very hard to find a pale cool pink, that's not in powder form, and this is my favorite. For powder, I like Tarte Amazonian 12 hour in "Flush".
