Cream blusher recommendations

[SecretServant]

I got a cream highlighter in the M&S summer beauty box, it’s great, easy to blend etc etc. It comes in a tube and it’s the same sort of texture as protect and perfect serum or Nivea in a tube.

I’m looking for a cream blusher with a similar texture - not liquid like benetint and not solid like a lipstick/lip balm. Any recommendations? I’m off to a shopping centre with a big Boots, John Lewis, M&S... (but no space Nk) this afternoon....

Glossier Cloud Paint blush is excellent and the texture you describe. Really lovely colours and easy to build up.

Stila cream blush

Umm, I’ve never heard of either of those brands (im such an imposter on this board!) which shop(s) would they be in?

[MustardScreams]

Glossier is online only, but worth it!

A cheaper option would be the Bourjois Healthy Mix Sorbet blush. Only comes in 2 colours, but very easy to use. I like the pink one.

Definitely Glossier Cloud Paint. They're exactly what you've described. £15 a tube but you can get 10% off if you sign up to their mailing list and you can also save by buying two (I'd recommend that if you like more than one of the colours).
I tested the Bourjois ones in Superdrug but they seemed very transparent and I think they have a very small choice of shades?

Another vote for Cloud Paint, it has the best staying power of any blush I've used. You also only need a tiny amount as it's quite pigmented, so good value even at full price.

Bobbi Brown- John Lewis

Stila!!

Checked out the Cloud Paint as it's a brand I've never heard of either. They look nice.

They are seeking a Cloud Duo for £25. Are these the save size as the tubes at £15? It's not clear from the website.

[MrsSiba]

Selling. Same.
Really should be asleep.

[nothingwittyhere]

Yes they are the same size

Everyone saying cloud paint what shades have you tried- I'm pale and both I ordered were very unnatural on my complexion.

I quite like the Bobbi Brown pot rouge but it's a bit pricey, and the body shop also do a cream blush that I like. With that said I've got a C.Y.O (boots) cream blush/highlighter stick on the go at the moment and its nice- staying power isn't amazing but it doesn't break me out and the colours are lovely.

i don't really understand what texture you mean so i am not sure if this will be too stiff but i use this and it gives a lovely flushed look, and it is aptly named lol

i just use fingertip to apply

My Cloud Paint shades are Puff, which is a pale neutral pink cream which reminds me of Benefit Dandelion once it's blended in, and Haze which is a sort of purple stain in the tube but blends out to a rosy berry. Both I think are aimed more at cool skintones. Some people blend the colours together I believe so that might be an option.

Another vote for Stila

[Kathyskonfessions]

Another vote here for the cloud paint blushers I’m really pale and I mix puff and haze together....BUT...
Big negative is the amount of product I waste every time.
All you need is a dot of the product; which is grand if you have the time and patience to arse around and evenly distribute a dot; but with rushing out the door every morning with kids hanging off me I forget to delicately distribute the said ‘dot’ and end up having to wipe off and waste the excess blush
I really wish Glossier would take this flaw on board as so many people have mentioned this in their reviews; if they did it in a pump form it would be so much better as it would evenly distribute the product and minimise waste

[MrsSiba]

Thanks nothingwittyhere. I might just treat myself! I'm getting FB ads for 10% off Glossier!

I have Glossier Cloud Paints in Dusk ( nude shade I use in the summer) and Storm ( berry shade for the Winter). Since I discovered Milk cream blusher stick in Werk I haven't used anything else. It's creamy and a gorgeous browny pink that looks so natural and is even quicker to apply than Glossier. You can use it on your lips too. I'd actually recommend the mini size. I have the full size and I reckon that it will outlast me! Cult Beauty sell it.

Bobbi Brown pot rouge is my favourite, but it might be a bit more solid than you’re after. I put it on with a stippling brush. I find it lasts much longer than the Stila one, which I find a bit greasy.
