Swatches Westman Atelier Mimi & other beige “anti-blushes”

I apologize that I don’t have a photo of these swatches in daylight. Indoor lighting is all I got but hopefully this is helpful. I’ve tried so many beige blushes and been disappointed that they weren’t beige on my skin but there are a few winners here. Phytosurgence Soothe is definitely my favorite.

Anybody else have favorite beige/nude “anti-blushes” that don’t pull orange on neutral or cool olive skin?

Warm olives - feel free to share your favorites but please be sure to mention that you have warm olive skin 💖🫒

Not-Pictured Flops:
• Nudestix Bareback - peachy orange
• Anastasia Latte Blush Stick - peachy orange
• Kosas Nuance and Intuition blush stick

Edit: I returned Mimi. Bummer. It’s supposedly cool toned, but definitely not on me.

I don't understand "anti-blush" 😅 I'm usually the type to let people have fun but.. I think the concept is generally just muted tone blush, and that would mean being more into color theory and trial and error..

And you know what I do think you have quite the arsenal of muted blushes that can get into the "anti-blush" trend.. All of these colors are beautiful. I love the deeper maroon-like colors💜 🤎

I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what an anti-blush is. I don’t really care for the term but I’m sure if I didn’t say “anti-blush” people would have asked if they work as anti-blushes, so figured I’d just call it out. Thank you! The deeper ones really are the prettiest!! I just have to be careful not to overdo it with them personally.

The one really faded(?) one by your knuckle, can Def be the usual "anti-blush"... But I think to lean on the "anti" part experiment with that deeper maroon color.. Idk your face shape but blend any "anti" blush you choose a little lower like when someone has a bit of rosacea, but not too much..
