Swatches with my own descriptions of the finish:
From left to right top row:
Sunday Brunch (matte ruddy pink)
B&B (sorta orangy peach with sparkle)
Chit Chat (medium pink with sparkle)
Pink Ribbon (light pink with silver sparkle)
From left to right, bottom row:
Apple (matte rosy pink)
Weekend Getaway (light brown toned peach, matte)
All Smiles (matte bright peach)
Plum Dust (matte, slightly burnt pink?)
Once and Again (matte wine-ish, rosy pink)
Jump Rope (lighter, but more wine-ish pink with sparkle)
Most EM blushes tend to be pigmented, so you should apply sparingly.
Really pigmented:
Sunday Brunch, B&B, Once and Again
- very obvious colours, should be applied sparingly with skunk brush unless you have a darker complexion. I recommend swiping the loaded brush on your wrist first to get rid of the initial excess blush before applying to face.
- B&B can look quite orangy....I definitely wouldn't recommend it for fair skintones. Personally I doubt I'll ever use this because it doesn't look good with my skintone.
Moderately pigmented:
Apple, All Smiles, Jump Rope, Chit Chat
- Takes a couple swipes with a skunk brush to get the perfect colour. Good pick even for light skintones.
Light, not very pigmented:
Weekend Getaway, Pink Ribbon
- these I have to pack on to get them to show up, but I like to use them for FOTDS when I play up the eyes/lips and tone down the rest of the face instead)
-definitely targeted at lighter skintones.
Hope this helps someone~

wow that's a lot of blushes...I have samples of B&B and All Smiles and I find them both really really pigmented, but I like them a lot. Chit Chat looks really pretty, too bad I can't wear pink blushes :(
really? what about warm toned pinks? something like Apple might still work for you.
i'm still scared to wear out B&B...it looks orangey on me :S
owie, some of those blushes look like bruises. chit chat looks REALLY pretty, though.
this is really good cuz i just assumed that all of their blushes were like Sunday Brunch and very pigmented
thanks for doing this
haha i guess they do look like bruises now that you mention it.
yeah sunday brunch is actually more pigmented than most of their other blushes. glad the swatches help :)
