Please find me a blusher

[Dancergirl]

But one that has an included brush, I like to travel light!

What would you recommend? I have dark hair and brown eyes but pale skin. I like pinky shades.

Bare Minerals blushers are lovely and not glittery or sparkly. I have heard good things about Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge too.

I like Coralista and Dandelion by Benefit, but I recently managed to go away for the weekend without any blusher and bought a cheapy-cheap-cheapo one from some brand I'd never heard of in Superdrug in as close a colour I could find to Coralista, and it seems to be basically the same! No brush included, though, but I almost never use the included Benefit brush for Coralista anyway (although I do for Dandelion, which I find needs to be less "focussed"). I am starting to wonder whether expensive blusher could be a con, as the cheap version was about £2 and Coralista is about £20, and is certainly not 10 times better...

I have this one, it's a nice shade of pink and has a brush and a good mirror in the compact www.cosmetic-revolution.com/loreal-true-match-blush-compact-120-sandalwood-rose-prod-383.html

Clinique Blushing Blush I use this, but usually use a separate blusher brush as the one with it is not great. Clarins blusher in a v similar compact is also nice.

Clinique Quick Blush This could be good for travelling light

I don't use Dandelion as a blusher. I use Soap and Glory cheek tint as a blusher and then Dandelion applied very, very lightly as a face powder. I think of it as being the equivalent of a bronzer (a pinker I suppose!) but for very pale people.

My colouring is the same as yours, OP. I have the L'Oreal True Match in Rosy Outlook, which comes with a brush and is ok.
But the blusher I really like is Maybelline's mousse blush in Peach Satin?again a cheapie product bought in an emergency?which is actually a pale pink and gives a healthy shimmery glow rather than looking like blusher.

Lots of good advise and product tips, I second superdrugs me meme range which is like benefit but less than half the price. Try their cheek tint which makes your cheeks rosy coloured, you put it on with your fingers and blend quickly.

Chanel Joues Contraste blushers are wonderful (the brush is included but personally I prefer a kabuki brush to avoid an 80s style diagonal slash of color. I've worn blusher every day of my life since I was sixteen.

If you are really cool-toned, it's very difficult to find a blusher that is not too orange/terracotta on you. Try JC Pink Explosionand Rose Ecrin. Benefit's Dandelion is too coppery on me. If you are warm/ yellow based, just about anything goes.
