Powder blush reccomendations?

16 replies

I've had a lovley powder blush from Clinique, which is now running out, and is no longer made, I think it's called blushing blush in blushing nude (?) can anyone reccomend a really natural looking powder blush, maybe cheaper than Clinique? I have oily type skin and like the "less is more" natural look if that makes sense!
Thanks in advance!

I don't know if Benefit is cheaper than clinique, but I love the Sugarbomb blusher by them and I'm more of the less is more approach as well.

Another vote for Sugarbomb! I use the pink side for blusher and mix them all together as a general face powder. It costs about £23 so not sure how that compares with Clinique.

I like bourjouis round pot blush.

Don't know about price, but Bobbi Brown powder blush in Slopes is lovely.

I use NARS Orgasm, it's great.

I second Nars Orgasm!

Another vote for orgasm, also Illamasqua in 'beg' is beautiful. So pigmented that you need a teensy bit to look flushed Wink

To be honest, my £1.99 "pink cloud" from Natural Collection, does the job just as well as my Benefit blushers. And the MUA one I picked up from Superdrug works just fine too.

Another vote for the Natural Collection range here. Lasts ages and looks good. A highly underrated brand in my opinion.

Thanks for all the suggestions, don't think I've got a Nars counter near me, will have a look at the Benefit and Natural colllection though!

dior rosy glow, that's the one you need. it's more a post-gym glow than a bright pink.

strawberry17 · 26/12/2011 21:15

Dior looks lovley but what's the price tag? Smile

their blushers are normally around £25-7, that sort of thing. ppw vg obv. Grin

Prowled around the Benefit counter but no staff, the Sugarbomb was about £21 I think, looked at Natural collection but didn't know where to start, so I reverted to my comfort zone Clinique and splurged £19 Xmas money on Blushing Blush in Bashful which I have on and looks very nice. Always find I can't go far wrong with Clinique makeup, it seems to suit my oily type skin.

Good choice OP. I have Blushing Blush in Bashful and love it. That's exactly what I was going to suggest when I read your post Grin It looks natural but stays on for ages, people always say I am looking well etc when I use it. I do want to try Nars Orgasm though as everyone seems to rave about it.

suebfg · 30/12/2011 21:37

I vote for Bourjois
