Don't be sorry... =)
...and yes indeedie you can use eyeshadow as a blush... in fact, MUFE eyeshadows are marketed as both blush and shadows as long as they say they are eye safe. The majority of MUFE shadows are meant for it.
Eyeshadows also double as highlight powders, contour powders and pigments for special effects or crazier makeup looks. Most of the time, if it's safe for your eyes, it's safe for your face... it doesn't work the other way around though... blushes don't always work for eyes. [some red pigments are not eyesafe!]
My favorite eyeshadow to use as a highlight is MAC's Shroom eyeshadow... I used to use a mixture of MAC's Embark and Espresso to contour with. I use Sugarpill's Dollypop for blush sometimes, but with a VERY light hand [that stuff is POTENT!] and a synthetic brush so I don't pick up crazy amounts of pigment.
Hope that helps!

YES!! In fact today I actually used a little bit of virgin and sin from the naked palette as a highlight and it works great! This probably would be a more common thing but the colors most people wear on their cheeks do not match what they wear on their eyes. But as long as the blush is safe for the eyes, have at it!

Most products are multi-purpose, within reason of course. ;]

You can use a lot of makeup products for many purposes. You could also mix a clear gloss with eyeshadows to make your own color of gloss.

I use eyeshadows a lot as blushes especially if I am in a hurry. I always look at my shadows finding a color that would be an amazing blush : )

Yes you can, and blush as eye shadows too. One shadow I like to do this with is MAC's Orange. But be careful if the eye shadow is really pigmented you want to be very light handed with it. I also use eye shadows as a highlight. :D

Yes :) You can also use shimmery eye shadows as highlights above your cheek bone, cupid's bow, and down the bridge of your nose! I have never used an eyeshadow as a blush, but I do use some as highlights.Sin from Urban decay and All that glitters from MAC work great for me <3 Haha I also sometimes use a shimmery nude lipstick for highlighting :)

You can use any product however you want.. just make sure if you're putting something on your eyes it's safe (you wouldn't want a huge piece of crafting glitter or like glue in your eye or something..). But besides the obvious scary ideas, anything goes!
I use lip glosses as blushes, eyeshaddows as lip colors, mascara as eyeliner (just use a little brush-works amazingly well, especially if it's waterproof!). Get creative.. there's no Cosmetics Patrol that's going to bust your door down and tell you to step away from the concealer.

Most eyeshadows can be used as a blush but not all blush can be made into eyeshadow. If it's eye safe it's typically face safe but not the other way around. When in doubt check the ingredients against the FDA list.

yeah you can! :) I use MAC pigments all the time for more than just eyeshadow. I have on called Rose that Ive used as lipgloss, blush and nail polish. Most products will tell you on the packaging if you can use it for other things than eyeshadow. Some you can and some you cant.
