I've been really getting into matching my blush and lip colours recently, as I find that it can really help make a look more natural. It may be a bit of an old-fashioned concept, but I've found that it actually really does work, pulling the whole look together and finishing it off better. Since getting my 10-pan blush palette from eBay it is pretty easy to find some beautiful combinations, so I thought that I'd compile all my favorite combinations and show them to you. I've left the blusher shades as a description, so it is easier to find a matching combination that you already have in your own stash, but I would really recommend *splashing out* (the palette is only about £5 so not exactly overly extravagant) as it really makes the whole combining malarkey so much easier.

It's worth noting that with brighter colours, sheerer formulas are better to work with, since you don't want the whole look to be too in your face, but once you get the hang of it, it's great fun putting together combinations, and the end result looks so nice too.
What do you think, do you do this with your makeup?
