For an Easy Summery Flush, Consider Too Faced Papa Don’t Peach Blush

June 29th, 2010 by Karen 57 Comments

too faced papa dont peach review photos swatches top

Some questions and answers reveal more about us than others do, like, do you reach for peach blush BEFORE your first cup of coffee in the morning? Or, does the very thought of a day without peach cheeks make you break out in a cold sweat? If you answered “yes” to either inquiry, hello, friend — my name is Karen, and I’m a fellow peach blush addict enthusiast. 🙂

My newest peach blush crush, the cleverly named Papa Don’t Peach ($20), pays homage to Madge while paying attention to cheeks. It’s one of four powder Brightening Blushes from Too Faced.

Totally easy to use, it kisses cheeks with a soft and shimmery peachy warmth that looks particularly pretty on cheeks attached to half-awake zombie girls early in the morning…

Too Faced has a knack for balancing pigmentation and wearability, and Papa Don’t Peach contains just enough pigmentation to be visible on the cheeks, but not so much that it takes 10 minutes to blend away harsh edges.

Wearing Papa Don’t Peach on mah cheeks!

Lately I’ve taken to wearing it with summery coral, peach or gold lipsticks and glosses, but I feel it’s neutral enough to go with practically any lip or eye shade.

The product’s been a permanent member of the Too Faced line for a while now, so no worries about it going MIA soon. If you’ve been looking for an easy peasy peachy flush, you might want to check it out. Available at Sephora and online at toofaced.com. Makeup and Beauty Blog Rating: A+

    Hi Karen,

    Quick question…what’s the difference between this blush and Benefit’s Coralista blush? Which would you recommend?

      Hi Vet,

      See the answer to Lisbeth’s comment below for a swatch comparison. Both are great, but if you want something more pinky-coral, Coralista might be a better fit.

      Hi Lizbeth & Vet,

      Here’s a swatch of Papa Don’t Peach (left) with Coralista (right):

      Coralista’s a touch lighter and more coral-y pink. HTH!

    Hmm, I have that color, but found that it’s a bit too frosty for me. Any tips on application? I love blush, but suck at application!

      Hi Solangel,

      If you want to tone down the frostiness you could always try a different brush. Fan brushes are great for a light application of color, as are synthetic skunk brushes like the MAC 187:

    oh my goodness, that shade looks AMAZING on you karen! I’m happy because you have been showing swatches on fair skin and your tan skin, so now I see how fabulous it looks on fair skin 🙂 I will definitley be picking up a box. This shade (and the package, sort of!) inspires me to wear that blush with a retro-floral dress, wedges and 50’s-style-curls. Love it!!!!!

    hey karen,

    i have medium/light asian skintone with yellow undertones. do you think that this could maybe even work as a bronzer?
    someone told me with asian skintones peach bronzers work best, but i cant find one that doesnt look like dirt one me!
    this color is sooo pretty and not dirt-like!!

      Yeah, I think you’d be able to work it in as a bronzer. I’ve heard Too Faced Bunny is good for lighter skin as well:

    Everything looks better on your olive skin…I love it on your skin, but not so much on the fair skin. It looks too orange, as do all peachy/coral blushes on me. I’ll have to stick to pinks!

      I’m always soo jealous when I look at photos of Karen being all glowy and pretty! I’m sure I have a much easier time with foundations, less pigmented products, and the cool pinks that I love though. The grass is greener on BOTH sides.

    Love the blush, and love the name! Can I just say that I had hair exactly like that in college? I am serious – I even rocked the big lace bow in my hair and had Aqua Net hairspray to make sure the whole permed shebang stayed big and puffy. I never got around to getting a “boy toy” belt though.

    Thanks for showing the swatch comparisons to Coralista – I would probably pick the Coralista, because I’m NW20 and more of a pink-loving girl!

Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick.
