Plum blush shade for fair skin... Carnal or Pretty Plum?

Hello there SN experts and fans :D
I'd like to get a subtly plum blush... Carnal and Pretty Plum both seem to fit the bill. Which one should I choose, though? Reading the descriptions, I was more attracted to Carnal (I prefer shimmer to matte), but I'm really fair... will it look too dark on me?
Thank you :)

They both should work just fine as long as you use a light hand. If you are a little uneasy with your blush application skills (some are), I would go with the Pretty Plum.

Pretty Plum is a great basic matte plum blush. The Carnal is a bit purpleish in comparison to the Pretty Plum. There is a lovely sparkle in Carnal, too. I have to admit that Carnal is my favorite of the two, but mostly because I have not really gotten around to giving Pretty Plum a good go. I guess I know what I will try today!!!

Thank you, Jen! You are always so helpful.
This is a tough call... I really like blushes to have a bit of shimmer... It lightens up the face and adds dimension. I have a fiber optic blush brush, so I might get away with Carnal?
Decisions, decisions ;)
Thank you for your useful reply :)

I can wear both- but prefer Pretty Plum- it's a bit brighter,gives more of a pop of color. Carnal is great- but on pale skin it is dramatic, so not an every day type of color.

Thank you so much. Pretty Plum it is, then :) I want something that's a bit sophisticated, yet wearable every day! :)
