I agree with the both of you Chickie and Hoozey. I feel like I'm much too drab and sickly looking without blush. And I too match the shades (mauve, dark pink, plum, etc.) according to whichever eyeshadow scheme I'm wearing. Maybe it's because my skin is naturally rosy to begin with and I'm always battling to tone it down anyway. Then when I take away all of the rosiness, it doesn't look natural, so I end up putting on blush. It's more of a controlled look though and it's a good thing that I downplay the ruddiness. I feel like my makeup isn't quite right if I don't put on blush - it sort of offsets the balance for me. Kudos to those of you who can pull it off - I really envy you. Same for wearing lipstick/lip gloss -- I just don't feel dressed unless I'm wearing that too. It doesn't have to be dark or anything, but I just feel incomplete without it.
