Why mix Blush Pink instead of buying it

Mixing Blush Pink yourself lets you approximate an expensive or hard to find tube from pigments you already own, match Blush Pink across paint brands whose factory tubes differ, and rebuild the exact colour when you run out mid painting. The recipe above is the working starting point.

Common mistakes

White cools and chalks a mix as you add it, so tint in small steps and stop before it goes pastel.
