Can anyone recommend a good blusher?

Or is that not the correct term - should it be "cheek stain"? Grin

I want one that doesn't look granny fake iyswim, but I also don't really think that bronzer look suits me.

TIA

Bourjois. Basic pinky ones suit all skin types really.

Benefits are brilliant

Are you looking for a stick or a powder?

Stick - No. 7 in Blossom

Creme - Barbara Daly for Tesco in Nude

Powder - Bourjois

Ruby and Millie do a creme blusher stick thingy in quite a few different colours, they are pretty good. Or origins do a cheek stain, but you have to be very sparing with it, or it can look very 'aunt sally'. A bit like this Blush.

Thanks for suggestions. I think I should steer away from creme as I tend to suffer from "shiny face" syndrome.

Bourjois stuff comes in very cute pots.

ruby and millie do a face gloss that is a bit like the benetint but in a stick, lasts ages. Again, does need to be carefully applied to avoid aunt sally look!

Mac cream blusher lovely.
Also love colour of Origins Pinch Your Cheeks but it looks better in winter. And also stains fingertips.

Bobbi Brown 'Sand Pink' blush for lighter skins or 'Blushed' for more olive skins - gives a very very natural flush. If you have a Bobbi Brown cosmetics counter near you I would ask for advice as the girls are really helpful and always have found really natural looking make up for me which suits my pink tone.

Orgasm by NARS - DPs face was a picture when I sent him to Space NK to get me a refill!!! (Er and how do I go in and ask the lady for that she's gonna piss herself or slap me!!!)

i didnt rate that
mac cream

Socci · 20/04/2006 13:07

I went to the make up counter today and the lady said I should go for a more bronzer look - I'm not sure though. I have very dark eyes and hair but quite fair skin.

Thanks again for replies. There are no Benefit counters where I live Sad
