Name that Color- Blush

Hi All,

So, I'm going to let you in on just a little of the research I've done on naming conventions. I decided that I would focus on Blusher or Blush, first.

I contacted Too Faced, Cover Girl, and Bellisma. Some of you may not know the celeb make-up artist/plus-sized model Rosie Mercado but she is the owner of Bellisma a niche online cosmetic line. Cover Girl, we all know, a make-up company under the P&G umbrella sold in drugstores and Too Faced a higher-end, fairly young, cosmetic line known for their bronzers. I'm waiting for replies from these companies and will email more but wanted to give you a little peek into what one of these companies provides as descriptions for their Blushes.

General gist of the emails;
Why do you name the blushes you sell the way you do? Where can I find color information? Do you know the undertones? Why do you released color base for some and not others?


Too Faced-
Number: 3 with varying colors and 2 palettes
Types: Pressed powder, Trio shimmer powder, Creme, Natural and No Make-up palette

The Secret To No Makeup Makeup (Palette1)

Description: We all know you’re a natural beauty. But why not flaunt what you were born with?  This collection is dedicated to complexion perfection. With everything you need to create a flawless, “It’s just me” look, it’s a must-have for any home beauty kit and ideal for traveling (or sleepovers at his place).

(Middle Top) Creme Blush "Luminize," (Middle Bottom) Press Blush "Brighten" 

 Full Bloom Creme Blush

Description:  Mother Nature, eat your heart out. Our pigment-rich, creamy blush effortlessly blends onto cheeks and lips, flushing them with natural-looking, luminous color. The hydrating, blendable formula can be layered to any level of intensity, from barely-there to vivaciously-vampish.

Colors: Prim & Poppy, Tea Rose/Dusty Rose, and SweetPea/Sheer Berry

Can you guess which is which? At least they give you a hint, the cutesy name and color. Although I don't really know what type of berry or poppy. Too Faced isn't the worst they do give an indication of color and a cutesy name. They have very cute packaging but I own the Sweetheart blush in Peach glow and trust me it's not a glow. They incorporated an enormous amount of gold flecks (finely ground) but the word glow conjured a different outcome in my mind, at least. What do you think "glow" should produce? 

More to come...
