You must have orange undertones. Try earth rogue. It looks bronze on fair skin but if you have orange undertones it should add a ruddy or pinkish hue. You can buy it at health food stores that sell consmetics. Or try a very ruddy (reddish-brown) looking shade of blush.

I've had a similar experience. Almost any blush goes bright pink on my skin if I buy the drugstore brand. When I use MAC or some other high end product it doesn't do that. Plus if you go to one of those cosmetic counters the people there fall over themselves to help you to find the right product.
Or just keep experimenting. I don't always have the budget for MAC, so I use a cheaper blush and apply very little just on the apple of my cheeks and highlight my eyes or lips.

You can buy a sort of green cream that takes the red out of skin to put make up over. The idea is that the red of the skin doesn't show through and you get a nice even colour with your make up. I am not sure but maybe this may work for you and your blusher?

I would also recommend Benetint blusher by Benefit. I have been using it for years now. Its £22 a bottle or you can get it on cheaper ebay . Its easy to apply and well worth the money as a little goes a long way.
For your lips you could try a colour correcting base, its usually green colour lipstick, you put it on before you apply your colour lipstick.

Try Laura Gellar, or Bare Escentuals products, they are top notch and not that expensive. You can order off the QVC website and also get 30 days free trial to test them out then if you dont like you just lose your p/p but will get a full refund. They are suitable for all skin tones and look really natural it doesnt even look like make up, just gives you a healthy natural glow.

I had the same problem until I discovered NARS blusher in shade Sin. Try it - you won't look back.
Benetint is good like people say, but it's not a powder blusher. It's a dark red liquid in a bottle like nail varnish that makes your cheeks dolly pink.

Maybe you need to use a greenish coloured base foundation first? Then apply your usual one on top. The green is supposed to neutralise over-pinkness.
I am sure there are better ideas than this above me, but just wanted to give it a try.

I had the same problem and found that Benetint is the best make up product around and it lasts for absolutely ages - i'm talking around 10 months. Well worth the £22.

Try Bene Tint by Benefit. Comes in a bottle with a brush. Is a tint you apply sparingly. Might work.
