I can't believe I caved and ordered the Rose Pommette blush.
I was debating between Rose Tan and Rose d'Ete and you just confirmed it was the Rose d'Ete. Thanks!
So I'm torn between Rose Nuit and Rose Pommette. I'm a 52yo pasty Irish complexion (blue eyes, dark brown hair, and rosacea). I'm leaning toward Rose Nuit but based on the online photos - I can't tell. The closest Hermes store is in Houston (I'm in Austin) and I'm not getting there anytime soon. Any thoughts or suggestions from those who own either? I know it's a tall order. TIA!
Love this. This is pretty much the same items I got, waiting for mine to arrive.Just score a few of the new goodies
Is there a big difference in the brushes? The travel one is apparently synthetic and not goat hair. Just curious. Thanks
Hi. From what I have seen so far, I‘d say it’s just like with the lipsticks. The Nuit has a cooler undertone and is more muted, the Pomette is warmer and brighter.
Go for the one that you'd normally be drawn to and know you'll use.
I know that means you'll already have blush/blusher similar but it also means it won't (necessarily) be stuck in the back of a draw. I say this as someone who went through their makeup collection yesterday evening thinking which H blush and found another 3 blushers I'd forgotten about and 3 (very orange-y) bronzers. I don't even remember buying the bronzers.

For H blush/blusher choice:
Rose Nuit will suit deeper skin-tones (cool or olive undertones) but not all (chestnut, golden). Maybe wait for Rose Feu if you are deep and warm.
Fair-light skin-tones can use the deeper, pigmented or brighter colours so long as they suit undertones, just use a very soft fluffy brush and stipple lightly before blending (the duo-fibre ones are good because the long synthetic hair doesn't pic much up and the natural hair below buffs it in with more pressure).
Edited to say: reviewers I've seen are saying Rose Nuit is softer in pay-off than others they've tried (see Michi Makesup below for an example)

I have very fair skin and medium brown hair and I chose Rose Pommette because it has a pink tone and looks bright and illuminating. I haven't received it yet so I can't report if it suits me.

The very sweet and down to earth Lexi Jong has revised 6 on her video. If you're fair/cool, this one may be a good comparison.
This is a long video, but she goes over all 8 blushes, all three lip enhancers, and the brushes in detail:
