I want to use Mac's Russian Red today but I can never seem to find any blush that goes with it. I feel naked without anything on my cheeks. I'm very, very pale, so not all colors look great on me. What blush do you usually pair with a red lip?

I'm not a big blush person (I think I own six at most) I really like MAC's Gingerly, but I don't think I've ever tried that with red lips. With red lips I would keep the blush veeerrrryyy subtle. Since you're pale a really light baby pink with subtle shimmer would be pretty. I have a blush like that from Maybelline Fit Me. I don't know the exact name of it, but I got it at Target for less than $5 and it's a really universal color.

I use the MAC Harmony blush, which technically isn't a blush, but it gives the face just the right amount of warmth and definition! I ALWAYS pair it with my MAC Russian Red.

A very sheer, soft layer of MAC Mineralize Blush in Love Joy also does the trick! Reviewed here: http://www.projectvanity.com/projectvanity/2011/11/23/mac-mineralize-blush-in-love-joy.html
