Any blusher recommendations?

I need a new blusher. I currently have a Dior one which quality wise seems fine but it is the wrong colour for me, so needs replacing.

Anyone have any recommendations of a good brand to try, I would rather not pay premium rates if there is a cheaper one that is good, but will if necessary.

I really like Nars for powder blush, but more recently have been using the Liz Earle cream blush and really like it.

greedygoose · 27/01/2013 21:24

Nars Orgasm - only one for me....

ggirl · 27/01/2013 21:26

I love benefit cha cha liquid one.
It's a coral colour and stays put for ages .

I've got the NARS Orgasm one and I quite like it, but the Superdrug MUA range has one that's a duplicate shade and it's only £1. It's about 85% as good I reckon.

Also quite like the Lily Lolo mineral loose powder blushers, and there's a MAC cream one that is nice but looks quite shocking in the container. I think blush needs to be tried on as the ones that look natural on your face usually look bloody awful in the compact.

I love Benetint. It's expensive but lasts forever. For cheaper ones I rate the Max Factor creme blush in a really bright doll-cheek pink, and a Soap And Glory one with lots of colours in one, so you sweep the brush and mix.

Thank you, the Clinque one has good reviews on the Boots website, has anyone tried that?

Sleek's rose gold (about £5) IS Nars Orgasm, I swear. Same colour, same texture, same intensity, practically the same packaging. I am a MUA and Sleek come highly recommended!

Otherwise I love Benefit's Dandelion for pale brunettes and Hervana for blondes.

QuinnFabray · 27/01/2013 21:34

Nothing beats Nars, in my experience, yes especially Orgasm. However, Natural Collection for £1.99 and MUA for a quid, do the job well. They don't last as long in the pan, but do well on the face, and for that money, you can't complain. I think Natural Collection do one called Pink Cloud which is very nice. NYX do great cream blusher for about £5 I think, but you have to order these online.

notnowImreading · 27/01/2013 21:35

I love Benetint too, but amazingly the one called 'Chit Chat' from Poundland seems to be exactly the same, if you want to try something for a pound.

peachypips · 27/01/2013 21:53

I have Clinique. Love it as it has a subtle shimmer.

cocolepew · 27/01/2013 21:55

I like Maybellines cream ones.

EllenParsons · 28/01/2013 02:23

My favourites are Clinique and Lancôme. I also really like NARS but I prefer deep throat to orgasm.

Sheldonella · 28/01/2013 15:37

I'm intrigued by the MUA ones that are supposed to be the same as the Nars as I'm running out of my Orgasm. Which shades are supposed to be a match?

PeggyGuggenheim · 28/01/2013 19:43

Natural Collection which I think is a Boots own brand, have a blusher called Pink Cloud which is brilliant - lovely colour, natural, and it lasts. Worth a try at £2 or something of the sort!!

MacAndCheese · 29/01/2013 21:18

Nars.

Mac do some nice ones, I currently use "sun basque"

Benefit have a new cream one out, I don't know the name unfortunately.

Benefit also do coralista which is a powder, and their tints are quite nice too.

StinkyWicket · 29/01/2013 22:22

My faves are Benefit Coralista and Hoola - for pink I like Blossom by Barbara Daly at Tesco. Just the right muted pink that doesn't fight with my eyes or lips. It's also a duo so if you have a small enough brush you could use to highlight and contour.

StinkyWicket · 29/01/2013 22:26

Sheldonella for an Orgasm dupe Hmm try this blog. Apparently Orgasm is very dupe-able!

K2ZJH · 29/01/2013 22:27

the body shops own. I love it so much I have their foundation, blusher, concealer, mascara, eye liner and eye shadow infact my whole make up bag is body shop Smile

I second Nars Orgasm, I always wore it before getting into mineral make-up instead. Gives any face an instant lift.

YummyDollie · 30/01/2013 13:32

MAC - Pink Swoon or MAC - Garb (possibly may of been a limited edition one)

Dawndonna · 30/01/2013 16:38

I like Liz Earle.
