    Pretty blush. On me it shows up as a dirty pink/coral/peachy color. I do notice the color looks different throughout the day. Sometimes it can look more peachy/orangey than others, and I'm not a...

    I have nc35 skin, brown eyes, and light baby blonde hair, this gave me the perfect warm summery flush, with a slight glimmer. Stayed on all day too!

    I was looking for a blush that was not going to look caky on me and that was going to be sloothe and more natural looking than the standard pink I've been using. So I figured that a blush would...

    Don't go by the color in the pan. Looks very natural on. Don't need too much. I've also used my blusher brush and dusted some on my forehead, jaw line and it doubles as a bronzer in my opinion. ...

    Melba is a good basic blush. It's a matte peach shade, with a slight brownish-pink undertone. It's a good shade if you want to "warm up" your face. It definitely looks natural on pale cheeks such...

    Got this because I needed a blush to wear with orange eyeshadows. Basically, Melba comes out as a basic, matte peach blush--which is pretty much what I wanted. Slap it on with some bronzer and I...

    Another great matte blush. Melba looks kinda orangy in the pan, but goes on a lovely shade of peach on this PPP. Since it is matte, I wouldn't say it gives a "glow," but does give beautiful...

    Melba is a highly pigmented peachy colored blush. It looks like a flat tangerine color in the pan so I wasnt so sure. I struggled with this blush for a while, was going for that peach glow on my...

    I've been searching for a matte peach blush and this is a really close one. :) It has slight pink undertones and definitely makes my NC35 skin look more healthy. Rave!

    I don't know why I don't wear this color that often but when I do, I LOVE it. I'm NW20 in the winter and it gives you that "I just got out of the gym look." I usually wear a full set of...

    As much as I liked this blush, its too much like my natural skintones in a way. I still wear it sometimes for a peachy kind of look. The blush is a scary almost ORANGE peach in the package but...

    Melba is a more orangier version of Margin. This would work for darker skin people. It just looked too orange and unnatural on me (MAC C3, LM Sunny Beige, GA #4).

    Looks bizarre orange in the pan, but I've learned you need this for that apricot 'glow.' Looks best LIGHTLY fanned on cheeks over bronzing powder. Paired with peachy gloss it's a good summer...
