What blusher do you use?

[longearedbat]

I probably spend less that 30 quid a year on make up as I wear very little, but I do like a bit of blusher on my pale cheeks. I recently bought a solid powder one (Rimmel, so only a cheapie) but it has gone very quickly because every time you put the brush over it, clouds of the powder fall to the floor. My bathroom floor was pink! I bought a different make (another cheap one from Tesco) and had exactly the same problem. It's not a problem I've had before with blusher powder. I have now bought some creamy rub on ones, but prefer the powder. Can anyone recommend a really good blusher that stays on the brush and is in a decent size container (powder compact size)? I don't mind spending a bit more for something that won't end up all over the floor.

For me, benefit have the best selection of blushers and they are very long lasting. I would go to a counter and try some out.

Benefit, I think its called Rockstar or something like that!

Use a cream blusher instead

Thanks. I'll have a look.

I need a new blusher
and have been looking at YouTube vids and I think nars orgasm looks lovely. Might invest.

Benefit Dandelion and Clinque sunset glow blush.

I use nars orgasm (powder type one) or benefit dandelion as my usual day to day ones.

I have a bourjois one I'm fond of.

Benefit are lovely and bourjois for a cheapie.

I had Nars orgasm but it was the glitter one and too glittery for day to day wear.

Bobbi Brown cream blusher

Bourjois are fab and I've tried so many over the years. No fallout like you mention and the pots are super cute and the brushes included are actually decent if you need to use them.

Nars orgasm here. (Just make sure you get that original not the sparklyone). I wear make up every day and this lasts a year. My friend bought me a Nars blusher palette for Christmas that is fantastic. It has 6 colours so I sweep the brush across whatever I'm feeling like. pinks, oranges, browns on any given day. With Nars a little goes a very long way. I'too am pale.

Max Factor

Nars orgasm or Dior rosy glow. Both lovely colour and long lasting

Makeup revolution do fab blushers and blush palettes and they are cheap

Max Factor here also - works well with Bare Minerals

I have a nyx one and it is SUPER pigmented so I only need to lightly dab the brush onto it once for both cheeks. It's barley used and I've had it about a year.

Benefit.

Dior Backstage Glow

Thanks. Some of these sound hopeful.

Can 100% reccomend Benefit Dandelion. Very easy to wear, hard to go wrong. Delicate pale pink.

Another nars orgasm here too.

Nars Bumpy ride or Orgasm

Benefit blushers are also fab. Decent size so last forever. I think I have every shade, coralista and dandelion are my 2 favourites.

Mac also do really good blushers, with very little fall out.

I've also got a few from Primark which are surprisingly good quality and very cheap.

I'd also look at your brush, is it very stiff? A soft fluffy brush is best and won't break up the product causing a lot of fall out.

An excellent tip I was given by a Bobbi Brown make up artist is to gently roll your blusher brush on the top of the powder, and not to swish the tips in it - that way you don't loosen more than you need or get excess on the brush. I use a No.7 bronzer as my every day blusher and also have a MAC powder blusher which has lasted an eternity.

An ancient Emo Days eyeshadow. Urban Decay - Gash. I've always loved the colour and fortunately had a stockpile of it as they stopped making that shade a few years ago but as a blusher it works on me.
