Yes good for pail skin I am very pale and it actually complements my skin.

Hi, I am also very pale with blonde hair and blue eyes. If applied correctly, this blush is great. However, there can be room for error because if applied too much, this blush can get overpowering. If you are new to makeup or want something that requires less effort, you may want to consider a different blush. I love it though, I don't want to scare you away!

I think it would work for you. It's not as super intense as it looks. I find that if you sweep the brush or even just dab it into the product, then tap the brush against the lid you get a super subtle look with a great sheen on your cheeks. Then of course you can build it up as you go. Also if you end up putting too much on then just take a clean fluffy brush and sweep it over your cheeks (with no product on it) it helps tone it down.

This color is so perfect for you. It gives such a natural look and also makes your eyes pop with a nice dark blue eyeliner. I highly recommend this product. My grandmother also uses it and yall sound very similar and she uses this product everyday!

I am also very fair, light eyes with ashy hair. If you are going for a natural look, this is a good option but you'll have to be very light on the application. It is a very bright blush, but when applied with a light hand gives a naturally flushed look. Another blush that I like from this line is the Coralista. It's much lighter than Bella Bamba, but much more on the Coral side.

I think it will suit you because of its dark undertones it doesnt come off florescent or orangy as you said. give it a try I have fair skin as well you might use less of it if your fairer then myself ;)

Hi. A suggestion: Just to let you know, I haven't tried Bella Bamba due to it's bright-shimmery finish and soft-subtle is more to my taste. I'm 59 also with the same coloring with green eyes and have searched high and low for a great product like Dandelion with less shimmer and a tiny bit more pigment. Dior makes a compact blush that is two products in one case-one blush is matte and other is a complimentary soft shimmer. The blush is finely milled and very sheer. Good color-range (look at A Touch of Blush) though many of the choices work because they are so sheer and blend with no powdery-effect or chalkiness. The compact is sturdy and beautiful. Dior is luxury-priced, and I've winced at checkout only to be totally happy later.

i think you should go for a soft pink color. if you want a bold look then go for the benefit bella bamba blush it looks good on anyt skin color. Or if you want to go for a more natural look then try for the tarte amazonian clay 12 hour blush.

I'm very pale too, and I was also concerned that "Bella Bamba" would be too bright of a pink for me. Even though it looks like a deep, dark watermelon pink when it's in the box, the important thing to remember is that this blush is very buildable. You can just sweep on a little if you're very fair-skinned and it will still give your cheeks a glow that looks natural, or you can layer on more for a bolder, more dramatic look. Also, don't apply "Bella Bamba" with the brush that comes with it, because it's too wide for the precise application you'll need to put on just a little of it. It's better to use a good quality blush brush with a handle instead--my Bare Escentuals blush brush works great.

I thought you'd also like to know, I use Benefit's "Dandelion" blush too, and I love that for a more natural, everyday look. Still, if you want something that's slightly shimmery and will make your cheekbones look more contoured, there's no reason you can't make "Bella Bamba" work for you just as well as "Dandelion." I hope this helps! :)

I think this product may be a little too pink on very pale skin, especially if you prefer a natural look. If you apply it very lightly it may look more natural, but I would suggest testing this one out at a store first.

I think it may have less shimmer, it just has a little bit of golden shimmer undertones, not to overpowering.

Imo, from your description this blush would be perfect for u. I found it to be less shimmery than Nars Orgasm and way better payoff. I find just a dab is all you need to achieve that just-in-from-the-cold look. Hope this helps!

You have just described my skin tone to a T! Best product ever, I have heard Tarte amazonian clay is great too but yet to try......

Like you, I also have very large pores. Bella Bamba does have some shimmer so, like Nars' Orgasm, you want to use it sparsely so your pores don't seem enlarged. However, the product is highly pigmented. So, unlike the Orgasm blush, you might not need to apply a lot to achieve the bright pink color on your cheeks. But, if you do find that the sparkle in Bella Bamba does augment the size of your pores, I suggest using Benifit's Cha Cha Tint, a mango colored cheek stain that will not make your pores seem larger, before applying Bella Bamba to your cheeks.

Bella Bamba definately has less shimmer than Nars Orgasm (Especially if you are using the Super Orgasm shade). I made the switch about a year ago from Nars blush to Benefit for the same reasons you mentioned. Bella Bamba is now a permanent staple in my make up bag and typically my go to blush.

One thing to keep in mind, is that Bella Bamba has slightly less coral shades in it- it's definately more on the pink side, but it will definately give you the flushed look you're going for, without having to apply a lot.

Bella bamba has less shimmer than orgasm and looks prettier. It sounds like we may have similar coloring and orgasm really doesn't look that great on me. I definitely love bella bamba. I didnot care for dallas because it was too matte. Hope this helps.

It has MORE shimmer. Do not get this. I have used Nars orgasm for the last two years and I like it, but this has too much shimmer so I returned it.

the bella bamba is a great selection for anyone! it has a beautiful shimmer and pink color. it's not overwhelming, it's just the perfect pop of pink! it looks good on any skin tone. It will pop against your dark hair.

I guess I have pretty much your complexion but have not used Nars blush. But what I can tell you is that it does have bit of light gold-ish shimmer in it. I find it subtle and the champagne like shimmer is complementary to my skin tone. Also adds a nice depth to the over all effect. It's a pretty neat effect and fun playing with the intensity. Hope that helps.

I have used both Bella Bamba and Nars Orgasm, and I find that BB has more color but less sparkle than NO. You really only need one swipe of the brush with BB for full coverage on one cheek.

Hello,

Benefit Bella Bamba is not limited edition. I hope that this helps!

it isant limeted edition non of the benifit blushes are but they do stop carrying them after a while. as well it does sell out fast!!!!

According to the Benefit Cosmetics website, it is part of their permanent collection.

Nope, this is an addition to Benefit's best selling Box of Powder line so it'll stick around. With a blush so great, it can't just go away! PS Sephora's website makes it easy to tell if something is limited edition, new, or exclusive-this info is right above the product name on the product page (see on the Bella Bamba page it says new above the name-it would say limited edition in that space if it was).

Nope! Permanente! But watch out, Benefit has been threatening to phase out the boxed powders that don't sell as well-- this one should be good for a while, but some of your old favies may someday hit the road!
For the record, benefit raaaaaarely does limited edition except for holiday and seasonal Love Your Look colors!

i wouldn't think this is limited. They have never discontinued any of the box blushes up to this point.

It's not limited edition

I just read on Benefit's website that Bella Bamba is a "new addition to our family of box o' powders." It sounds like they intend to keep it around.

If you want a more subtle look I would stick to the NARS, the bella bamba is just slightly more noticable. Nars is a bit more on the coral side and bella is a tad more pink so depending on which color you prefer that may also help. Both are absolutely gorgeous so I don't think you will be disappointed in either. I notice that my Super Orgasm blush looks great at first but later in the day it isn't so much there anymore where as my bella bamba can be seen even when I am washing my face at night.

This blush looks amazing on my dark olive skin. Definitely give it a try.

YES!!! I work as a wedding and special occasion makeup artist and use this blush on every skin tone! With darker skintones to get the same effect as light I use two sweeps of color rather than one!

My skin has olive undertones and I love this blush!!!!

Yes but I would recommend it for your skin type or you could try the Coralista.

it looks amazing on olive toned skin!!

HI, i HAVE OLIVE SKIN THAT GETS WAY DARK IN SUMMER. i DO NOT WEAR HEAVY MAKEUP SO I FIND A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY, OR LOOKS WAY TOO BRIGHT ON AND NOT VERY NATURAL. A LIGHT BRUSHING LOOKS FINE.

I have both shades and l love both shades! If you can't buy both then I would say go Bella Bamba. If you are conservative about blushes then go for Coralista. There is really no loser here, they are both great! For fair skins apply these blushes with a stippling blush to get the perfect amount of color.

Are you a bronzer girl? If you like a warmer look, do coralista, if not do bella bamba! You can use bronzer with bella bamba, but coralista is much warmer on its own.

I would totally choose Bella Bamba over Coralista!!!
It has a nice color on all of the skin tones I have seen it on too. Coralista is a little more harsh I think.
Plus Bella Bamba has a mirror inside and Coralista does not :)

Bella Bamba is a really dark pink, and so if you are light-skinned, I would'nt purchase. Coralista is a bit dark too, but goes on nice and blends in well after applying a finishing powder.

I have tried both the Coralista and the Bella Bamba. I would personally purchase the Bella Bamba over the Coralista, hands down. This product's color is much better and is just an overall wonderful product!!!

I've used both and Bella Bamba is my choice. Coralista is straight up coral. Great color, too. I didn't have much luck with it as it didn't really show up on my skin. Bella Bamba is a fantastic watermelon pink color & it's richly pigmented, so it will be noticeable on your skin. Both are shimmery. The only real difference is, do you prefer coral or pink?

I have used (and loved) both, but lately I've been obsessed with Bella Bamba. I like it because it has less shimmer, you need to apply less to get a flushed look, and it is very versatile. Use a little for a naturally flushed appearance, use a heavier hand and get a brighter fun look. .

I've used both, and Bella Bamba has more color but less sparkle than Nars Orgasm. Nars Orgasm is much peacher, and Bella Bamba is more of a rosy pink.

I own both and they are pretty close (at least they seem to be, too me). I prefer own Orgasm in the multiple and like that it is a cream because they supposedly last longer in summer, but this seems to be long lasting as well. Between the too, I would probably go with Nars Orgasm but I like really like both.

The Benefit blush is more pink and a lot less glittery (which is a good thing). I work at a hospital and this still comes off very professional and natural looking. Long staying powder (more than Nars). I am fair skinned and have blue eyes and this looked amazing on (can't say the same about Orgasm- looked way too dark/glittery for my skin tone).

Bella Bamba for the win. The color is similar to Nars Orgasm, and you get more for your buck....who doesn't love that???

Bella Bamba is more sheer and pink, Nars Orgasm is more intense and has a more peachy gold tint. I have both and use Bamba during the summer and daytime saving Orgasm for winter and nightime.

It's great for blondes that's why I have it now :) Try it you won't be sorry.

I typically have blonde around my face, am not an all over blonde, and its my go-to blush. I think you will find that it works with all colors :)

I'm blonde and love it :) my best friend is brunette and loves it too.

I am blonde (though on the darker side) and it looks fine.

I think that this is a great color choice for anyone! Worse case, you return it. Sephora has a great return policy.

i think it would. dont apply to much. it might stand out to much and over power your hair. i suggest a light dusting over the cheeks

BB is going to be a lot more pigmented therefore darker appearing on your cheek whereas dandelion is very pale and coralista is also lighter. If you're going for a more dramatic look that stands out more than bb is the way to go. All benefit blushes are fantastic it just depends on what kind of effect you are going for!

Bella Bamba is a great color, but I am not a fan of the shimmer. I've used both Bella & Coralista & I think Bella has more shimmer. The color brightens your face & is beautiful, but I personally think it's too shimmery.

Bella Bamba is a more concentrated pigmented color than Coralista. Coralista is more of a peachy-pink color. Bella Bamba is a more pink color. They both have a gold shimmer in them.

I have oily skin with acne scarring and can still pull this off. The shimmer is not glittery at all, just subtle, brightening, and really pretty.

Two totally different looks.
It's a shimmer, no way around it. Your other products are not. So if you don't want that shimmer effect, stay away from this product. Stick to your stand bys if they work for you.
But branch out and have fun if you want to - it's only make up! It always washes off and Sephora has a fantastic refund policy if you don't love it!

It has more shimmer/gold glitter. Similar to Orgasm if you have that blush.

Bella Bamba has more pigment and is much pinker!

I have both and, holding them side by side, I think the Bella Bamba definitely looks more like a pink whereas NARS looks more peachy. The golden shimmer is similar in each I think. I am fair skinned and I don't know that there is a striking difference between one or the other when I actually wear them, but I like them both. So if you like the NARS and just want a similar type of product but more to the pink, go for it.

I've used Orgasm & Bella Bamba & the differences I see are.....Bella Bamba has more gold shimmer (and like Orgasm, if you apply too much it looks cakey & fake) & is a watermelon pink color, where Orgasm is more of a peachy-pink color.

To me, orgasm has more peach in it. Bell a bamba is a true watermelon (almost barbie) pink. Both are really pretty in their own right. Also orgasm seems to have more shimmer than bell a bamba. If you can go to the store and swatch both, there is a difference

Nars Orgasm has definatly more peach tone to it. This is much more pink and also goes on easier then Nars in my opinion. I am super fair skinned and Nars looks ok on me, but this looks great!

hey, i have used both and they are completely different products. benefits bella bamba is a very pink toned shimmer blush and nars orgasm is a very peachy toned blush with actual flecks of gold glitter in a shimmer mix. i would not compare these at all, just besides the fact of both being a shimmery blush. hope this helped

it is!!! i have super oily skin and it looks amzing on me i own almost all of the blushes execept one and it works amazing it gives a nice pink flush with gold shimmer and i have coralista and this looks better on oily skin than the coralista

I haven't tried the coralista but I also have oily skin and this blush did not cake, run or get blothcy. It went on smooth and stayed like that the whole day. It was natural looking but still had a nice pop of color. Best blush I've ever tried.

I haven't tried the coralesta blush, but I do have oily skin and the Bella bumba works great. I use oil blotting papers during the day too. I live in Florida and it's hot and humid here so I have to touch up my make up a lot.

it's good on oily skin

If you have oily skin, I might not recommend Bella Bamba. It's shimmer causes light to reflect off it, so it can look oily if you have shine on your face already.

i have coralista as well, and my skin gets very oily. bella bamba is just like coralista only with more of a watermelon color than a peach color. the gold undertones are subtle. try applying a little bit and then build the color to your liking that way its not too much!
