I think that True is still sold it is just an all over face color and not a blush. You might want to look to be sure.

There is an AOFC called "True".

(There is also a "Soft Focus True" available in the "Last Chance" section.)

"Warmth" is available -- it is under the All Over Face Colors. Warmth is also available in a "Soft Focus" AOFC.

There is also a "Soft Focus" Warmth available in the "Last Chance" section in a Small size.

(It is available in the Get Started kit, of course.)

Lastly, right now, there is a special duo of Warmth and a Matte Foundation available.

Any current shade similar to Decadent Diamond?

I love Decadent Diamond blush from a QVC kit. Is there a current product that is close in color?

Unfortunately, there isn't anything really similar available right now. Of the colors that are on the BE site, I'd say Golden Gate is probably the closest, but it is a lighter coral. In the Last Chance blushes, there is Papaya -- it is a nice coral, but a little brighter and less pink/rose-toned than Decadent Diamond. Dawn is another option that might just do, although it doesn't seem to have the slight shimmer.

Then, some other alternatives, depending on what you might be willing to settle for -- or, how you might combine a couple to get where you want to be: First Class is also an option, but it is paler. Flowers is a pinky deep coral, although this one is a stronger color than Decadent Diamond. Laughter is described as a coral rose, but it's more of a coral color without as much of the deep rose as Decadent Diamond, and without the hint of shimmer, but it might work. Lastly, Thistle is a pinky-coral.

One combination that might work is Flowers + Golden Gate, or Dawn + Golden Gate.

Despite the fact Decadent Diamond is described as a poppy pink color, don't think that "Poppy" is a close option -- it isn't the close to the rose-poppy that is in Decadent Diamond, it is more of a coppery-coral.

I recommend going to a local Sephora store with your favorite blush in hand so that you can compare different shades of bare mineral blushes next to it. The pictures of the different shades online are deceiving and change when applied to your skin tone. It's best to try them out on the top of your hand first.

Question

A blush that would make a good bronzer?

I'm looking for a blush that would make a good bronzer. I currently use warm radiance and fair foundation.

A good bronzer for a Fair girl might be RSVP -- it's available in the Last Chance section still. It would work if you want a true bronze and not a pinky-bronze.

If you're looking more for a rosy-pinky bronze to highlight the pink undertones in your complexion, Love Radiance is an option, but you can't buy it separately right now. (It IS available in the Love & Happiness collection, tho.)

True AOFC/Radiance or Soft Focus True AOFC (Last Chance) are options that would give a more deep rose tint to the bronze; on me it is a rosy-copper (sheer -- remember, this is a Radiance). Blush Pearl blush is another possibility, as is Joyous Jennifer.

Paler options might be Dusk, Thistle or Laughter.

If you want to broaden your search, you might consider looking at some of the EYE colors that are a medium level of color and in the pink-rose-peach-coral-copper families. (This would mean looking at the eye colors in the Pink group, the Peach group and the Brown group.) Don't apply with a concentrated eye color brush, or even a normal blush brush probably -- because the eye colors tend to be more saturated (not always, tho), you might want to use the Soft Focus face brush or the Fan brush (also going bye-bye in the Last Chance section). One choice that comes to mind is Silk Rose (in Last Chance, again). Amazing Amanda, Radiant Rebecca, Beautiful Melodie and Beautiful Autumn are all various levels of coppery-pumpkiny-rusty bronze -- each has shimmer, so be light-handed. Faux Fox is a more matte version of this shade range. Romance is slightly less deep, and Bliss is slightly paler than that. Savvy is a bit redder of a cinnamon. Tan Lines might be an obvious choice. Lastly, Wearable Brown Dark or Medium and Wearable Pecan Medium and Wearable Chestnut are all matte options in various shades of brown with various levels of red or cinnamon.

I recently purchased the Love & Happiness kit, and in it was Love Radiance. Now, I have light-to-medium skin, and I think that the Love Radiance actually works pretty well as a blush or bronzing color. It looks really rose-colored in the pot, but goes on a little more bronze. Hope that helps!

Two words: Fruit Cocktail.

It's the only one that has the brightness and the hint of blue-pink.

In the "Last Chance" area, there is one called Pink Petal. It is a stronger pink like Hot Shot, but I personally think it's a little paler and warmer-toned.

They don't really have one that's close in the Ready blushes -- the French Kiss has a warm tone to it, which lessens the brightness compared to Hot Shot. And the Faux Pas isn't as bright a pink as the picture looks here on BE....

You have a lot of choices of course. It sort of depends on what you want your blush to do.

For a cool, contrasting pop of color, you might think about something like Fruit Cocktail or Giddy Pink.

If you want to stay in the warmer family, but still have somewhat of a pop w/your skin tone, give some thought to Flowers or Beauty.

Then, if you want to have a color that is more of a subtle difference from your skin color, you could try any of the browner/coppery-er blushes, like Joyous Jennifer or Fresh, or for a nice burgundy/wine cheek, think about Velvet, Aubergine, Amused or Compassion.

Peaches and brown blushes are generally warm blushes whereas roses and pinks are cool. Since your skin is light to medium I almost think that brown would be too deep maybe try a nice peach blush.

I use the color of my lips, lip gloss/ lipstick that I wear as my guideline when choosing my blush. It completes the look when your blush matches the color of your lips. Try a combination of lip gloss and lipstick by BUXOM and then match it with a bare minerals blush, it will give you that wow factor!
